Mikes repair videos

Matt from “The Radio Garage” in PA does some nice work. Check out his vids on YT. I sent a my old HH to him and unfortunately it was beyond repair but he notified me and shipped it back at no charge. I want to send him my Cobra next. Anyways check him out!!

After recently reviving my interest in radio, I bought a used Connex 3300hp-zx from Matt after watching many of his videos and talking via email. After receiving the unit, I asked him to make a couple of semi custom modifications. He politely advised that he had no interest in "custom" work, so I sent it to a member here, where I was advised that it was not tuned to it's full potential and had some questionable soldering. It was also very dirty upon initial delivery, something that I was very surprised to see. I kept my mouth shut about it for quite a while, but some of his recent videos doing custom modifications kind of made me wonder wtf.

Anyway, that's my $.02 and I wish everyone good luck with their gear.

Peace
 
Well, I sent my buddy's radio to First Class Radio in Illinois. They've had it for about 5 weeks now. I've called them to see about a time frame. not pushing, just asking. Each time they says "possibly tomorrow":.

Two shops I recommend right now -

Superior CB - Chris Holland
Troy Radio Service

Just be prepared for delays with either - or any CB shop right now for that matter, everyone is seriously backed up.

I can only guess that is a recent comment he made on an older video. The last video I can see is about 2 years ago... when he got that $10k Rohde&Schwartz comm tester.


Ya it’s an older vid but he replied recently. So unless someone is posting on his account he’s still alive and monitoring his vids.

Maybe because he got that $$$ tester he moved on to bigger stuff.
