Communications Specialists (Orange, CA) had AOR (Japan) private label an aircraft band handheld called the TR-720. Nice little unit in its day (1980s). Nicad battery pack(s - 2) have loong since gone to the great nicad heaven.
I asked this question about 18 months ago and have chased down a dozen empty ratholes for a year and a half and cannot find somebody to rebuild the battery pack ... except one company that wanted $1500 to do just one. I can buy a few Yaesus and throw this radio away, but I'm still looking for that little mom'n'pop shop that does it reasonably.
I suppose I could try and crack this one open and do it myself, but it is built like a shick brithouse and I'm not all that great with JB Weld putting little tiny pieces of plastic back together.
Any ideas?
THanks,
Jim
