How retarded am I for wanting to buy a IC-756 Pro 3 from a local OM? Includes matching power supply and speaker. Radio looks mint; one owner who didn't use it much. Price is fair.
But I'm afraid of the janky reputation of the old style LCD. The cathode to LED mod is easy enough if the cathode backlight dims. But if the display shits the bed, which they do, it's going to be a somewhat expensive nightmare for me to resolve.
I hate new radios and this is perfect for me, aside from the questionable reliability of the display. I have decision paralysis.
