I'm on a last-minute getaway to Jasper Alberta. Naturally POTA is on the agenda :) But I discover my Yaesu ATAS-120A will not move. Back to the hotel I go.

But what will I use to fix it? A kit from @iFixit of course! The wire the powers the motor is severed/has fallen apart. No electrical tape, use a breathe right strip cut up. My Leatherman and Swiss army knife round out my tools.
And - yes - I'm back on the air shortly!

@croyle Another gift waaay back from my Brother. It's the ES4 model, and it was sold by Radio Shack. It and the Victorinox are EDC for me in my backpack.

@VE6LK Thanks! I went looking for them on eBay and they're going for quite a lot... Maybe I'll break down and pick one up at some point.
