Does anyone have any input on the president John Q model? Just picked one up for free, initial test shows it turns on, tx/rx light operates, but no LEDs on in display. Good radio? Approximate age? Were the president's made by uniden? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks guys. 73

I called Mikes recently and a woman answered said Mike was out of business. ?,???Fyi??

Homerbb...imho, looks like an early attempt at an electric chair, or the first mobile antenna...it would roll along behind your horse and buggy!!!!

Riverman, glad to see you changed your mind. Being the same age, I get why you were leaving..........if I may, bear this in mind. God made your shoulders rounded so the s### would roll off!! Works well for me. Gotta say that most of the members on here are worthy of praise, and have helped me...

Guessing this is a 23 channel unit, or am I wrong? Ad sez it talks " loud", which I suppose could mean anything.Would $100 for that radio and the d104 be in the ballpark?

Ok, just saw an ad locally for a Cobra Cam 88, with a d104. Wondering if any of the "old guys" knew about this unit. Sez it's from the 60's, tube, and plugs into the wall. Any feedback????

I have been thinking about handcrank setups i have seen in the past.........just a geared crank handle with a halfmoon shaped gear, but for the life of me can't remember what i saw it on. Also thought about a gate latch like you would see on a chain link fence gate, that way when you pushed up...

Hey Unit 194-I called Mikes today after repeated no email getbacks, got an answering machine followed by a woman (his wife?) who informed me Mikes radio repair ead out of business. Just saying, hope you get your gear back ok.

Hey MDM, looks like a tree wired to a post with 2016 attached to tree, just how tall is that bad boy??? Antenna looks like about 20' itself. Do I see a balun coil on the downfeed? What did you do for lightning protection, and how did you handle raising your "tree"?? Guessing you're about 40'...

Rabbiporkchop, yeah think that is going to be the way...tried this before, but it was hard to grab the plastic and didn't want to use pliers. Think maybe if I put it in a radio plug and twisted, that might work. Kinda too stupid, but somebody put it together, it ain't PFM. Yeah, been to cb...

Big Kahuna- Yup, already tried that, and, yeah, loosens up some. Tied twisting, pulling, even tried getting my knife blade under the plastic and prying, but GENTLY. Hence the thread title........that, and the old saw "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I know there is a way to do it, just...

Tallman say, redbeast do. Bud, there just ain't nuthin' there. I know it's soundin' stupid, but it's true. Any screw would have to be MICROSCOPIC, there's a bunch of tiny pits from corrosion over the years, but that is it. Even scraped it down with my knife blade to make sure it wasn't worn in...

Ok, Rob....i defer and did reread. Sounded like a problem with mine, but -hey, I'm not a tech and do not try to talk over my head. Justa thought was all.

Ok, here they are. Just know I have done these before, but just can't remember...and don't want to ruin it.Need to check pin connections, this mics been on my cobras for at least 30 yrs.

Hey 338, does it change if you grab the antenna jack and move it up and down?? My 25 had a bad solder joint at the resistor directly under the antenna plug.

Yup, I've taken those apart a lot, most will have a small tab and slot that you turn about 1/16th turn after the set screw is out. But this barrel doesn't have a set screw at all, just the two screws for strain relief. I've seen these before in the "old days",and know there's a way, but caan't...

She used to work at the 76 in Tulsa, but she dyed her hair and now she hawks the truck wash @exit 182 on I-40!!!##
