    What’s the best mic for a cobra 29 classic ?

    Get this stuff. Unplug mic, take cover off, spray a couple squirts in mic switch, replace cover and work the mic lever a few times. Plug back in and see if that takes care of static.

    What electronics have YOU fixed lately?

    Somewhat electronic related... Rebuilt a VHF/UHF Log Periodic TV antenna from the 80's. All the elements good and straight, just had to replace all the non-stainless rivets that were rusted and not making contact to the other half. Stainless 10-24 hardware with anti-ox should last a bit. 1...

    CONNEX TX 200 AMP

    Most of the pics of the other amps get too grainy when zoomed in. I say 39 cuz you said you tried an 82 and that "got hot fast". More resistance to current flow = more heat.

    CONNEX TX 200 AMP

    Your pics of your amp show the resistor to be a 39 ohm, 2 or 3 watt metal oxide flame resistant with a 1% tolerance. The other pics from other amps show to be different values than yours. Have you put an ohm meter on said resistor to see if you get any reading?

    Yes, does the display still light up? Does the radio still respond to face plate buttons being pressed? Does the radio still transmit? Very important questions here to go any further.

    Uniden HR2510 (Repair help needed)

    Remove ALL of the conductive dried brown/cream color glue on and around components. This stuff will cause shorts when it ages with time and heat. Use a solvent like acetone or GC Radio-TV Service Solvent on a Q-tip to loosen the glue first. Then gently pick and pull it off with tweezers when...
