AFTER TRYING A FEW MODS I DECIDED TO PUT A SWITCH IN THE LAMP CIRCUT. TO 
DO THIS I REPLACED Q4 WITH A TIP 30 AND MOUNTED IT ON A SMALL PIECE OF CKT
BOARD. THE BOARD WAS STUCK TO THE BACK HEAT SINK INSIDE THE RADIO TOPSIDE
WITH DOUBLE STICK TAPE. THE E B C LEADS WERE EXTENDED WITH RIBBON CABLE AND
SOLDERED TO WHAT WAS THE E B C OF Q4 THAT WAS MOUNTED BEHIND THE POWER 
SWITCH. THE RED WIRE WAS CUT THAT GOES TO PIN 12 OF CN 202.
THE RED WIRE ON CN 202 WAS LEFT DISCONNECTED AND THE PART THAT GOES BACK
TO THE MAIN CHASSIS WAS EXTENDED, RAN THRU A TINY SLIDE SWITCH . THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE SPST SLIDE SWITCH WAS CONNECTED BACK TO THE NEW Q4 COLLECTOR.
THIS MOD ALLOWS THE POWER SWITCH TO DO IT'S THING (POWER AND CPU RESET)
WHILE ALLOWING THE LAMP CIRCUT TO BE TURNED OFF. WORKS GREAT SO FAR.
I MAY BRIDGE THE SWITCH WITH A KEEP ALIVE RESISTOR STILL. ANY IDEAS ON THAT?
