as i said before, i have a good friend who only has one box- his prized TRC 975
the black handle broke (his chrome sides are okay). it will mean the world to him if i help him get his only box back on to full status so any help at all thanks so much!
I have a TRC-975 that I'm not really interested in keeping. It has the handle, and the rest of the radio would be included. Decks work, just need heads cleaned, could stand to be opened up and a thorough contact cleaning. Other than that, it's in pretty good shape. Let me know if your friend might be interested in a second one for spare parts or to share handles with.
