AFAIK, no one is going to try and work on your radios, there have not been any replacement parts for those radios available for quite a few years........

Tony is your only bet, if he answered you that's a good sign. However, be aware that he now works full time for AMA and only does radio stuff in his after hours. IF he says he can help you, best pursue than option as I do not think any others are available. Good luck....

Default Vintage radio service

JR APPOLO 7ch FM 2 NIB sets
Futaba T8SGAP 3 sets
I’m sure they can be scavenged for parts to repair one at least
