    I would appreciate some of those "thoughts and prayers"

    I had 3-hours of surgery on my right shoulder about 4 years ago although there was some pain it was not bad and I recovered pretty quickly that being said it may not have been as bad as your wife so I can't really give much to that but I have not had a bit of issue since and was glad to have the...

    Paint CB mic

    If you decide to paint plastic mic covers don't use Rust-oleum it is not for this kind of project. Krylon fusion or not is the only brand to use for this I do a lot of this kind of work when restoring items and have tried it all. I would also preheat the paint and the plastic as much as you can...

    Do I have a splatterbox ?

    Don't forget the possibility of some types of CB's and how broad-banded they are and simply can't handle signals overloading the front end of the receiver which would greatly affect the ability of the receiver to sort those signals out. I'm not advocating that his radio isn't producing harmonics...

    Repair Shops

    I'm familiar with the 990 I have had them in the past for repairs but have never come across issues of the kind you speak of or anyone asking for it they have always been fine with factory spec alignments, that being said there are adjustments or limit adjustments that may allow the range to...

    It is my intention to do a video but it may actually be several videos not because it will take me several days but because it ends up being several days with all the interruptions and calls I field every day for repairs and the occasional walk in which always seems to eat up the day. But I will...
