Well again I have a laundry list of radios and amplifiers and microphones sent to me from all over the united States but I just don't have the time right now.

I have cut small gauge aluminum with them but I don't know exactly what the gauge was but it was the same as Coke cans maybe just a bit thicker and it worked really well and the punches are pretty easy dress a new edge on them I have done it several times. And the sets are cheap so buy 2 sets LOL.

If you purchase one of those Hole Punch sets there is a punch in that set that is perfect for punching perfect replica using sticky back chrome sheets you can find at Hobby lobby or on eBay for that matter. I used this method on dozens of microphones that I did full restorations for the...

Well having done all the things you just talked about I to have never found a set that lasts for very long, Now I do use the ceramic tuning tools and they last for ever but present the same issue that metal does with respect to inadvertently breaking cores if you not careful. I do find myself...

So you have removed the Relay and have taken it's cover off and inspected the contacts to see if cleaning them is possible? I assume based on your statement that you have done that, I have cleaned these on many occasions and they then work fine. That being said I many have one here is you still...

Well since it seems clear to me that they have some kind of noise being generated if 2 radios are doing the same thing then nothing you do will mater. Making them understand that can be a real chore I have been lucky dealing with this as most of my customers had a level of respect but there are...

These are nice radios when they are working but they have had numerous issues through the years they were not very reliable in the longevity department. I recently restored one for a customer which included a recap and it was done first because it had so many issues that I needed to know that...

I don't know if anyone will care but there was this maybe little unknown thing Royce did with there radio models that prepared them for the 40ch allocations in 1976 they manufactured the 1-655 23 channel radio with a PLL module that would also be used to create there 40 channel radios at the...

Watch this guy I listen to his videos while I'm repairing at the bench.

Ok what about the variable power control on the front of the radio does it vary the power levels when adjusted? I assume you mean the circuit board not the CPU board, Anyway there should not be 13+ volts on all three legs so I assume you have tested the (2SB754Y) this being the main modulated...
