If it still works-keep it

Bought one of the first ones that came out. It worked great for about 3 years. Did all the mods, tapped the IF and fed it into a all mode xcvr and worked great for SSB. Went dead and sent to RS for repair. It turned out to be corroded feed through holes on the double sided circuit board. Happened a 2nd time and went in myself and cleaned/resoldered every feedthrough hole I could find. Worked for a while then crashed again and was never able to revive it.
Loved it while it lasted. RS tech told me the corrosion problem was not isolated just to mine.
