I also noticed the bottom section is aluminum covered in fiberglass. I put the matcher back into the base and put the antenna together and put it up 10 feet off the ground. Without replacing the toasted cap, im getting a 1.2 on ch 40 and a 1.7 on ch 1. Upon looking at the top section, it looks...

I got one locally from a lady selling off her dad's stuff. When I hooked it up I had a bad match, so I decided to open up the bottom where the matching device is located. I found a wire broke off the coil. Also the cap looks toasty. Ill replace that woth with a better one.

Any mods or any way to turn up the mod in it. The adjustments I found do nothing to it. I cut d 14 and it didn't make a bit of difference. Yes I wired up a power mic, and it still falls flat. Yes I know it has 50 yo caps, but replacing caps in an old radio isn't the end all, be all...

What material did you make it from?

I bought a used astrobeam today complete, however one hub was destroyed when it was removed by the previous owner. I know this is a stretch, but anyone have a spare to sell?

Still in need of a bottom pic of a demon 500 plus.

Like my 87 yo dad said the FCC ruined cb by dropping the license. He hasn't keyed a radio since the 1970s. I get on and talk, thats what I do. If im working on a radio, it goes on the dummy load. I have asked my neighbors if I bother them, and one said I did, even on a 4 watt radio. I worked...

There was a 5 element finco on a 60 foot tower near me. It ended up getting destroyed in a small tornado.

Anyone have a copy of the manual, and aside from being longer ( no top hat) is there any other difference? I remember i had one i got from a cb shop years ago, but sold it long ago.

Ok, mine had 6 of the blue ones. Id need a Pic of the original ones.

Anyone have a Pic of the bottom of a demon 500 plus showing the capacitors?
