I found a good deal on replacements for both D1301 and Q1301 but still waiting for them to arrive, in the meantime I thought I would post some pictures of other things I've fixed and ask another question. When I first got this rig it was poorly shipped and beat to hell in addition to the technical problems. The VFO knob was smacked so hard it shattered the plastic ring around the knob. Since I don't have a 3d printer I carefully collected all the pieces and reconstructed it:
I sanded it smooth and am going to put some light coats of paint to hide the (barely noticeable) cracks and think I will get it extremely close to the original.?
Now one problem is the VFO mechanism took a beating as well and the knob is no longer smooth. I can only find a replacement VFO from the analog version and I'm not sure if they are interchangeable? Maybe someone knows the answer to that. I may also be replacing the display with the aftermarket display from elcon so I think I need to take the VFO out anyway.
