AHAHA oh crap. yes, I resemble that remark! :D I am up to 10 radios now and they all work. granted they're cobra 29 as I thought that would be a great place to start. Oh man, the nicely working radio and using it for test parts is tough and very tempting. I have a good stock of...

Great to know! I'll look for those. I have one junk radio. I think I know I need more. I buy those non-working radios and there's really nothing much wrong lol Thanks everyone!

HI, L28, bead, where can I find or buy one? Do I need it? I'm thinking yea since its right next to a c1969. but I am still learning! Thanks!!

Thanks guys!! I think I know what’s going on, and some folks out there did the same as me, bought cheap ceramic screwdrivers!!! After using heat. Cleaning the wax off the slug and the can I very gently broke a slug! Culprit is a wedged tip on the ceramic driver. It fits great until you...

Thank you!!

HI, I have this old Galaxy DX 949 that has a broken L15 ECIFT12258 , anyone have one? Since this poor radio is a mess, I mess with it in my spare time. The Issue: Receive is two channels off, 10.2400 is right on, L14 adjusted for 3v. Next step PLL alignment and someone broke L15. This...

Thank you thank you thank you! :D Super appreciated!

hi @danmcclain Great thread!! Would you possibly have the schematic for a Gemtronics gtx-3000? Also a picture of top and bottom of the circuit board if possible. Thanks!
