Say, would it be possible to buy one of these:

Then swap out the board with this:

The cost would be a lot less than just buying a VHF radio. The case also looks like it's in much better shape than the VHF radios listed right now

Try charging it again.. drain..charge...Do that a couple times... Should give you a little bit longer each time...

What is the battery model number?

i found the manual earlier, tried the little troubleshooting it does offer, no luck
so but the manual lists battery model#'s that are proper for it, so does that mean i have a wrong battery / charger combo then?

Worst case scenario. It goes in the trash, which we already know, and you wasted 10 mins putting it in the charger and taking it out. If you can get it back to somewhat decent capacity, you'll at least have something to dick around with until the replacements get in.

So would radio depot or someone like that be able to do that service? It's over a $100 difference in price so if they charged $50 to tune it there's still some savings
Stupid question #2:
Say you buy a Model I with no screen or keypad. Can one be added on later? I see screens, keypads and cases for sale and the total for buying a Model I then adding those things would still be a lot less
