    Problem Recapping Turner SuperSidekick

    I will post pics later. Original caps are quite small. I did post a pic of the circuit board a few weeks ago if you can find it.

    Wow!!! Galaxy LC 998v most expensive export?

    I have a 2970n2 and I just can't justify the price of the n4. What can I do with an n4 that I can't do with an n2?

    Problem Recapping Turner SuperSidekick

    Sat down to start recapping my Turner SSK and ran into a snag. The three replacement caps I bought are the right values, but too big, not enough clearance. Anyone know where I can buy the correct Temple caps? One is marked 25-250.

    I bought a Sencore CB-42. It's older so I had it gone through, with caps replaced and calibrated.

    Galaxy DX959b Question

    I was in a cb shop last week and was talking to the tech about my 959b. He said when he aligns that radio, they set the 10.240 reference circuit, which I know about. He also mentioned a 455khz adjustment. This is not mentioned in the service manual. Anyone know what he was talking about?

    Turner Super Sidekick Question

    Im getting ready to replace the three electrolytic caps on the amp board. What i am wondering is if a 47ufd will work in place of the 50ufd with a bit higher voltage rating? Same for the two 22ufd at 160v rated caps that I bought. 160v is much higher than the originals.

    I am remodeling my radio room right now. Am waiting for landlord to install new carpet and paint. Then I'm adding a new cubicle corner desk setup.

    Turner Super Sidekick Question

    Well my SSK arrived and it is about as close to mint as can be. The finish is still real nice. No scratches on the chrome head. Bottom cover and insides have no corrosion or dirt. Leaf switches in good shape. I'm going to change out the electrolytic caps shortly. This mic should be a really good...
