Here are pictures of the transceiver as it is tonight. I'll post a new set when I get all of the cosmetics fixed.
Thanks go out to "190" for the upper cover, power cord and microphone! Helpful CBers like him make CBing a pleasure!
All of the defective and missing electronic parts have already been taken care of, and I didn't take a "before" picture when I started. :-(
I do plan on replacing all of the electrolytic capacitors as this unit was made about 20 years ago. It couldn't hurt, and all of them only cost a couple of bucks through Mouser.
I'm also in the process of recapping an old 23 channel Cobra 138 and Tram Diamond 60. I'm modifying Siltronix Model 90 VFOs to put both of them up on 10 meters. (I generally run a Uniden PC 78XL, TRC 465, and a Madison on the CB band.) I'll get some pictures of them this week, and post them. If anyone is interested, I'll post the Siltronix VFO mods, too.
The radio works as it should, though, and I've made several contacts with it so far. Man, these things do have good receivers.
