Ok I usually only make 1 mistake a year that was 2 mistakes unless I'm counting wrong then it could be 3 mistakes, but in my defense, I don't really care where he is I just remember watching one of his videos after being made aware of his channel and I never went back for more.

There are factors that can cause what you are talking about some of them are simply that the buffer stages in some radios are just dirty IE harmonically and although all IF and mixer stages in low-end radios IE "CBs" can be dirty you will most likely see a lot more of this kind of issue with the...

So it most likely isn't adjusting freq. on any channel?

If you use the schematics it will give all you need to know. The cap is in sections that usually have different values of capacitance but in the Tram version, I believe if memory serves me well these are all rated at 40uf @ 450 VDC and that value is specific to the circuits shown on the power...

Well, you obviously should spray the volume control and make sure it's clean this radio is an antique, and if it was recapped make sure C79 and C81 are installed in the right direction or polarity just some things you can check.

I would say send it in but I have at least a 4 month's backlog and patience would be a very good quality to have. I do try my best to look at all that is here and of course, some units are waiting for parts and others are restorations that take as much as a week or more just the nature of the...

Well, I remember in the good ole days when the FCC had certain requirements for a CB to be on frequency now this was before PLL circuits and OCXO'S and TCXO'S were not used in any old tube CB radios and the frequency tolerance was to 20hz one way or the other and the test equipment produced for...

I recently purchased a new F150 love this truck it's the 500HP version it's an all smiles and fast miles anyway I installed both the 2 meter dual bander along with a 2 meter dual band antenna on one side of the pickup it's mounted to a window bracket I made and the 11 meter antenna is mounted on...

If you have an audio signal tracer or scope, follow the yellow brick audio road back to the TDA2003 you should be able to go from the Dynamike control and trace back to the mic preamp and see an audio signal on the scope or like i said an inexpensive audio signal tracer. Schematics are helpful...

At this moment in time, I would be leaning towards the so-called Galaxy class syndrome as Nomad so elegantly called it. I have repaired about 10 thousand Galaxy class radios over the last 35 years and can confirm they will quit at any given moment and 99% of the time it's poor-quality...

I can show you how to get rid of it if you can unsolder a small surface mount part it will end the beep.

I don't know if anyone cares about this one way or the other but I had a customer the other day that asked while I was repairing his 880 if I could eliminate the damn beep so after I brought it back to life I did some circuit tracking and came up with this in about 20 minutes or so.

Now you can test all those Chicken Banders to make they are done? LOL.

Try EXECUTIVE CTZ-100

Thanks!! It will help in my mission to get all these antiques back online for him.

Well I would really like to have all the pages associated with the radio I have a customer that has 6 of these and he wants them all working I have the original factory service manual but the schematics are missing so all the pages that show part locations and voltage reference locations and the...

SAMS #63 SBE CONSOLE II

Ok, anytime you can do that I would be first in line. Thanks.

My wife and I have both tested positive and could not tell the difference between a mild cold or possibly a mild case of the flew and we are not vaccinated for the flu or covid. My family also has had it and only one felt really bad and also not vaccinated.
