Yeah, go with Klondike Mike and tell him "Bob sent you"!!!!! He will have NO IDEA who Bob is..... but he is the best place to get your caps!!!!

Sorry it took so long.... Yes I did a long time ago. In aligning it..... I got "ham handed" with a multimeter probe, apparently touched TWO things with the probe tip, heard a "very slight pop"...... and PPPPPHHHHhhhhhhttttttt she was gone!!!!!!!! I chased down that something got fritzed...

Yes indeed I was!!!! I found their Facebook page and joined it, then the web site went down. Since then.... I have hardly seen any activity on the group in Facebook. I guess it just died off!!!!!!

I have had an account on cbradioforum DOT com for many many many years... but I had not checked in for about 2 months. I just followed my link like always, the browser plugged in my credentials like always, I clicked "log in" like always...... and it just sits there and spins. Doesn't let me...

Mike, "just in case it becomes useful".... I had that one squirreled away already so... here it is. Bob

Amen to that!!!! Having to wage war with magnifying hoods to see is bad enough!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

I wound up getting it (the 3 book set).... actually, my oldest son knew I wanted the set so he got it for me for Christmas several years ago. I am so glad I did! I have read sections of it like a "novel". This is absolutely a "one of a kind" book... I have never seen another with such...

Thank you Mike. THAT is pretty much what my "mental picture" looks like. Much appreciated!

Is your old web content still available anywhere? Every link I have tried on this thread fails..... Thanks!!!!!! Bob

Mike, I have never modified a radio to accept an electret. Is the idea to 1) add the resistor to tie power to the audio line, and 2) the cap is to pick the mic audio off of the audio line and pass it on to mic amps? I'm guessing so ... but it never hurts to ask....

Thanks for that. What makes me look so bad is..... 1. I did scan through and totally missed it, and 2. When I followed THIS LINK back to the original post... I see that I even COMMENTED on it back then!!!!!! Sheeeeeesh!!!!!! Thanks to the both of you!!!!!! Bob

Dan, I hate to ask (since I am unable to help on these SAMS anymore).... But if you have CB# 132 Could you see if that volume has a Grand Prix D-1325RF and if so.... copy that one for me please? I got a hint today that THAT radio is a carbon copy of an old "Smokey 23" radio that belongs to a...

I hope you all don't mind... but it kind of IS another part of this "CB world" we are in...... So far I have: JC Penney 6247 - No RX or TX.... AM/USB/LSB none of the above. Not with internal OR external speaker DO...

As it turns out... the protection diode appears to be shorted on this one... (low ohms BOTH ways across power. I scanned over that procedure you are talking about and it actually makes circuit changes inside the radio. But I really would not have expected to use a case screw for power supply...

I am just going through a bunch of my acquired radios to catalog the various illnesses that they may have and one is Johnson 123A. What I ran in to is certainly not a show stopper... For power, on the rear there is a little red plastic fitting that appears to hold a male spade lug... inset a...
