I recently purchased an Icom PS-125 from Gregory Fischer AB7R. We exchanged several emails over a period of a few days in which he explained the power supply possibly had a problem and was selling it a reduced price. I won't take up space on this forum to discuss the details as to why he had these suspicions. I'm sure Greg will cover that subject quite adquately himself. The point is he was honest enough to explain the lower price he was asking.. I received the power supply very professionally packed double box style. Lots and lots of padding and enough tape to singlehandedly create an adhesive shortage. When I finally succeeded in extracting the power supply, it was flawless in appearance. He included every thing that came with it originally from the factory, including the black plastic tie wrap thingy used to contain any excess length of the AC power cord. I hooked the power supply up to my IC-746 and proceeded to "pour on the coal".. The power supply functioned 100% as designed by Icom. Virtually zero voltage drop even during 100 watt FM mode transmissions. Contrary to the PS-125's reputation for having a noisy fan, the cooling fan emits only a slight whisper as it gets rid of the heat..
I have no doubt that if I ever see AB7R advertise something that I'm looking for, when he answers his phone, he'll hear me.
Folks, you can buy from this guy with no worries about the intregrity of his price, shipping, packing, descriptions, etc..
