Icom 751A Issue

[WX7P]

I recently got an Icom IC-751A through Craigslist dumpster diving.

The receive works great. Even with a BS antenna, I can hear qso's on 20 and all wwv and Hawai'i condx permitting. All of the other functions work, IF shift, the filters, everything. AM and USB are FB. All the memories are there also.

Here's the problem:

There is absolutely NO receive on LSB or CW no matter what band. Completely dead.

I did see one item on an Icom sheet referring to to a potential bad PBT Oscillator. In their scenario, the only receive function that works is FM. I have AM and USB working, so I'm not sure their fix is applicable.

Symptom:No RX audio in any mode except FM. No TX. Unit is not unlocked.

Probable Cause:PBT oscillator is not running.

Cure:Verify absence of 9.4665 signal at W86 on main unit in 751A, or W134 in the IC-751. Replace faulty X7 on main unit in IC-751A, or X5 in the IC-751.

The scope is coming out of storage this week. I posted this to see if anyone had experienced this issue before.
