Nice job John boy. You make it look so easy.
Glad you took the advise to use the display of the dutch ham, its contrast is a bit less than the original but judging by your vid it is high enough to see everything you want, I saved the vid in case I ever have to replace mine 😉

Hi Mark
Yes the contrast is not quite the same but they a good replacement non the less. I actually bought the screen a couple of weeks ago, I was leaving it to be a surprise in the part 2 video. I am really happy with radio and I am thinking of keeping it.. Best Regards John
it is a great rig and even has a seperate plug for a receiving antenna so you can use that for converter use, I have a converter for the 2 meter band and it works great that way, there is also a program to control the 756 with the computer but I did not use that yet, in my opinion it’s a keeper.
Great vid,thanks for posting.
Nice Job, I was asked to do this mod on the same radio, just waiting to get the job..
Great work..
Very nice videos.
I also have the 756 pro, i Think it´s the same thing.
Nice to see the radio from inside. For me that dont know nothing of electronic.
Very very good job, thanks
Excellent video as always, John. Keep them coming! After seeing how easy it is, I’m keeping my eyes open for a 756 with the screen problem for sale on the cheap. 73!
Hi Randy
I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the video.
The replacement screen is working well and I am really enjoying the rig.
I will do my best to post some more videos, sadly it’s finding the time however; I am working on it.. Very Best Regards John M0XFX
hi john great info and workmanship as allways thanks and keep em coming
Nice job, John!
I watched both parts of this epic adventure and really enjoyed watching you troubleshoot and repair the IC-756. The camera work and commentary were first rate! Great job and congrats on getting the rig up and running at 100%. Hopefully, the bands will behave so you can enjoy the rig! 73, Rob W1AEX
Just watched both parts. Really educational and interesting. It makes a nice change to watch and learn from someone that knows what they are doing! Have you thought about making electronics educational vids form basic to more advanced?

Loved both the video’s; thanks for taking the time. I have an original 756 with no issues (touch wood!). I have two questions, where did you get those great gloves and do you know if there is a US equivalent of the Servisol cleaner? Thanks again for your hard work and information.
Very good serious video …..Thanks !!!
Hi, Clean the elastomer rubber contacts and the gold plated contacts with a touch of acetone and I think it will work ok. That has been my experience in the past. Regards, MIKe.
