Well got one of the SBE CIIs back, all in order, clarifier is centered, no more cut outs, it was one of the bad 7.8025MHz crystals. Working great and getting great reports, this radio really prefers the turner Super SideKick over the D104. Thing seems to be working well, only the very...

Yeah, that does not look like fun

Nomad and Mike, I will pay for your services, I am not Bill Gates but I do make a very good living and will pay for top notch tech service to keep my vintage radios working, yeah, it’s that important to me. Nomad Radio has been very open about helping me out so I give him some props!

Electronics components distributor. I would not attempt doing this unless you are pretty well versed in electronics repair at this level. Things can go wrong really fast. Find a good tech to do this work. Perhaps a power mic would help mask the problem until you find a good tech, that will...

Yes, got it working on ch 36, 37, 38, and 40, but the clarifier was cranked to the left and I was a tiny bit off frequency, this was in the newer of the 2 radios. Took it to a local shop The Radio Shop in ontario, ca and had everything aligned, worked great, was getting good reports on air...

Found some local chatter on 38LSB, but also heard a strong signal from Bilize, Hawaii, and Mexico. Hooked up my old SBE Console II on a Firestik indoor base antenna that was sitting in my backyard next to the pool. I am in Southern CA I could not get the bilize station, but I Hawaii station...

Okay found the 12.100 MHz crystals from Ken’s electronics, he had the one that will work with the SBE. Assume this is a simple act of pulling the 11.700mhz crystal which controls Ch.1-4 and replacing it with the 12.100mhz crystal? I took a look at my radios, appears I have the early version...

Thx Well if anybody has recs for a tech please let me know otherwise I think it may be garage sale time or Craig’s List free ad, lol.

I assume you are a radio tech? If so do you take mail in work as there is nobody in So.Cal who does this kind of work.

Well, thanks for the help, I will keep my eye out for the VFO 90-1. I guess the crystal swap will be impossible. Also, I can’t do this work, never worked on radios, also major issues finding shops that will work on the old radios. If this is going to be a waste of effort exercise for I will...

Thanks, so I would have a better chance winning powerball than finding the correct crystal or VFO. Bummer, I guess I am 40+ years late to this party. Any suggestions on where to attempt to look would be appreciated. Thx

Hello, first post, I have 2 mint SBE radios I picked up about 10 years ago, both work fine. Was wondering if there is a way to get channels 24-40 or at least 35-40? I had this same radio as a teenager and it had a button on the rear that allowed more channels and had the clairifier opened. I...
