I would sure like to know where they are getting the Astatic boards for $10 each! (If they are selling them that cheap they HAVE TO be getting them cheaper) I buy wholesale and I can't find them that cheap or I would run out an buy a whole lot more of them. The difference in what I pay for...

Like I said, I can make that LT-2N do everything that Turbo will do for less money.

$50. $20 more for changing the backcolor of the buttons or $40 for just changing the backcolor.

You will not be dissapointed

Yup, you should have seen that President Jackson there when I got it. It was trashed. Many hours of repair made one heck of a good radio. A cosmetic facelift didn't hurt either. :wink:

I purchased a bunch of faceplate stickers from that link. That is the reason I started making my own. Very low quality. No protection against spills, you cant clean them, they dont stick very good. Check out the 959 there, thats a custom of mine, but it is laminated and the stick will last...

mabee he meant 24 watts

I have only seen 1 that would not convert. The rest have had no problem with.

Yes, they can. However, the process is a bit different. I have done some really cool stuff with the RCI 2950s. Can also change the colors of the pushbuttons.

You can also "dim" the channel display LEDs by adding resistance. The bottom center 2 pins are +. Cut the trace leading up to the display and add 1k to 2k resistance. This will generally give the display a "not so brite" look. If the blue is still eye piercing, look into buying some colored...

Man, If I have to break out the signal generator it has already cost more than its worth to fix that radio in most cases. This is unless it is a high end radio. Thank goodness it usually never comes to that. We do not charge if we cant fix the problem, and we dont charge "bench fees" so you...

The best board in my opinion is the LT-2N. It measures 2" x 1.5" and will fit easily into the smallest of radios. I have mounted these inside of 510XLs and Cobra 19+ radios. The other thing about these boards is that they perform tit for tat with the Turbo boards. One more advantage to these...

Upon further testing, the inline voltage switch is good as well as the power switch.

Thank you very much. The pictures do not do the radios justice.

Thanks for the response Nomad. It indeed has 2 fuses. It indeed only blew 1 fuse. As I recall however, I think I am responsible for its demise. There are 2 large sockets and 2 small sockets on the tube. I think I put 1 tube in backwards which caused the amps demise. I will check the...

Would anyone have any ideas on what may have blown? I had a tube short out and it popped one of the fuses in the back. I replaced all 3 tubes with new ones and now I have no plate current and the tubes will not light. Of course I replaced the fuse. I would like to try to fix it myself if it...

That Jackson looks good in there too! LOL Happy new year Phil!
