Hello all. This is my first post after lurking for a long while.
I currently use an SRX2200 AN Model 1.5 radio and recently it was dropped from a fair height directly onto the volume knob. The result was the knob and the connector to the knob (including the spanner) was disconnected from the radio. The knob and the knob connector (a thin metal rod that connects the knob to the Control Top) was not able to be recovered. Exposed is an o-ring and metal bits that were fractured off. In order to completely repair the radio do I have to purchase a complete Control Top Assembly (P/N 1375044C09 1375044C05 1375044C03) or can I purchase the missing component and avoid spending $500+? (If the latter, what P/N would it be?) Having looked at the APX6000 service manual I can see that it is most likely a whole Top Control Assembly replacement. I am aware that I need to purchase the SRX Volume Knob (P/N 3675581B02) as well. Another concern that I have is that if I need to purchase another Top Control Assembly would I have to worry about AN/BN mismatch?
As I was typing the above I was pulling off the knob on another SRX2200 radio for reference pictures and the component I was describing came off with it. It would appear that I may need to repair 2 radios now.
These radios are personally serviced yet have clean histories so if need be I could send them in to a repair shop. I would like to avoid this if possible and purchase the components and repair the radio myself. I have access to a clean room and money is not an issue.
Thank you for your time,
