I'm going to have to open it up again tomorrow & look around with a magnifier.
A can of compressed air may help also.
These radios were a great find 20 years ago but now usually need a bit of refurbishment that most dont want to pay for. They often get sold as parts/not working fairly cheap but ones that have been given some love bring better money.

Not looking to put any money into it.
I wish I had the skills to fix this kind of stuff as I enjoy using it.
Yup me too, I love some of the older gear but lack the skills to diagnose and repair. Yet I have a habit of buying clean older gear. Cb stands for constantly buying...

VR9 was the "fixed transmit" frequency trimpot. If it's missing, the clarifier has probably been modified to lock your transmit and receive frequencies together.

You said nothing on sideband.

Nothing on receive?

Or transmit?

Or both?

This radio is a 'single conversion' design. Kinda rare to have a fault that clobbers the receiver for one mode and not the other.

Transmit side is a bit different. Has a few circuits used solely for sideband transmit.
