Hey Tony, Since when have us engineers and radio hams had a lazy Sunday. I tell my wife that I have been working all day in the shack! Well working stations anyhow. A great radio to get you tools into there Tony. Really enjoying your videos and a treat this week with some of your radio's to look at too. 73's Ian De M5AXA
Love the 751. They get 5* reviews on Eham. I'd love a 751a if the price was sensible. There are a couple of companies making memory boards to retrofit. Nice find Tony!
Hi, I nearly bought one of these on the weekend at our Radio Market day. Unfortunately the seller wouldn't negotiate on price or give me his contact details as it belonged to his son. There were about 6 accessories for it as well, including antenae tuners etc. All Icom. All up it was $600 Australian dollars, when everything else was less than $50. 😟
Hi Tony. My late grandfather was an ex Royal Navy radio technician. After he retired he repaired radios in his ham shack. My late grandmother sold off most of his ham equipment but I managed to save a few pieces. Icom IC-751, Icom IC-2SAT ,Kenwood 2m FM Transciever. I Sit for hours listening to tower and aircraft transmission on the IC 2SAT that i'm able to tune to 119.70 Mhz. The IC-751 has AM and FM but only tunes 0-30 Mhz. ??? Please explain.🥺
Hi Kevin, wow that is nice equipment you managed to save. The IC-751 is specificly made for HF (0-30) it is a great Tranceiver(also transmitter) the receiving versions are R70,R71 and later R72 .. but later models got the whole range from 0-2 GHz
Witam serdecznie, właśnie zakupiłem to radio, czy możesz nauczyć mnie obsługi tego radia? Mam pytanie czy radio posiada kalibrację częstotliwości, trochę się gubię ponieważ modulacja AM wymaga szczególnej troski dostrojenia jak to zrobić?

Sir, somebody is selling a New Old Stock IC-750A and never been used. It is in good working condition and the price is around 430 U.S. dollars. Do you think I should buy it? Thank you so much.
The price is resenable, but even not used its an older device. keep in mind the caps are still old, used or not. at some point they need to be replaced. but you will love the soft sound it produces, so much more friendly then the digital radios. i love my FT-dx10 so sensitive but the icom is so much more softter on the ears
@@TonyAlbus Wow, thank you so much for your reply and for the advice. Aside from I can't afford modern radios, I like the looks, build qualities of old radios. There are no menus and all you need to operate it is all in front of you. Again, thank you sir and all the best to you and your family.
@@TonyAlbus And may I add. It is the capacitors which I am worried about, since the radio being sold is more than 30 years old. It reall is a gamble sometimes.
@@xomka28 Yes the radio is older, but you can adapt a simple adapter with isolation and make it work on your Icom. If you are not that into changing it yourself , try sending them an email, maybe they can help
I've got a 751 stored in my garage along with the matching power supply. Bought it brand new in the early 80's. I installed the non-volatile board and the com port mod. Never had any problems with it. Made many many CW contacts. Nice rig. Really solid. Trivia: Remember the woodpecker? It has the noise blanker position just for that.
These vintage Icom's are pieces of art. Nice video again Tony! 73
Yes they are! , Thanks!

Good video Tony, I have one as my base station and it performs great- seems they really were built to last. 73 Barnie de M7PBX.

@@TonyAlbus One last thing sir, how is your 751 now and have you done any repairs on it?
@@franciscolopez3229 Thank you same to you and yours.
Where can I get replacement trimmers for the PLL.. Not available in the UK from icom or anywhere else 😮😮
Hi, no that is a problem, if you want original, maybe look for a part unit. some boards are available on ebay.
Those plastic trimmers aren't brilliant and a ball ache to replace!
yes thats a pity, because these device are great. its so soft to listen to
👍
Thank you!
I have one in good condition and power supply inside original mint condition 73 from kb2uew
Wow! congratulations.. it is a keeper.. the sound is so much warmer then the new SDR or Hybrit SDR's
