You could send it to a shop and see if it is worth fixing. They should be able to give you an estimate.

This radio chassis tells me that it is the kind that will drift off freq until warmed up. Same chassis as the Galaxy DX99V I use. It will work quite nice if you want to get it restored to working order. Just so long as the estimate doesn't exceed the cost of a used radio in decent shape. I'd send loosecannon a PM and ask him if he wants to do the estimate and work. He is a repair guy here on the forum. Or maybe to a shop closer to where you live, so long as they have a decent reputation.

But don't expect any shop to give you an estimate without sending it to them and checking the radio out first.

Personally, I think the radio is worth it.

Having a decent SSB mode radio is highly recommended - IMO . . .
