Thanks Nomad, You were right on the power getting lost. I found that the connection marked in the uploaded photo was the problem. Although the trace had been scraped and soldered to the component, it wasn't making a connection. I put a piece of lead across the offending trace and the radio came...

Thanks Nomad. I just checked the MB3756 and have the following. 1 - 8V 2 - 13.5 3 - 8V 4 - 0V 5 - 13.5 6 - 8V 7 - 0V 8 - 0V Those voltages seem to be correct. I checked that initially, but just checked again to be sure. I have seen the 3756 fail before. The way I was looking at it I was...

Let me ask this. When I did have the VCO locked, I had a reading on pin1 of the VCO @ 7.7 or so volts. Now that I have done something, I don't know what, I have no reading of the 7.7V at pin1. I have the 7.7V at TP9 from the 1604. TP10 has 0V. R104 and R207 have been removed which takes out...

Thanks Nomad. I noticed when tracking the positive lead and it goes into the freq counter it looks like. A check between the chassis and ground pin of the DC is right to ground. I don't see anything obvious after looking over the top and bottom. Will keep going on it. I think I will remove all...

I hear 1863 trying contact with audioshockwave, can't hear Jeff

I've a Cobra 2000 that I have a question on the DC power. When hooked up to AC, the power switch turns the radio on and off as it should. However, when the DC power cord is connected, the power comes on and stays on...no matter the switch position. I think I read somewhere that the 2000 does the...

I believe I heard Greg in there with a couple of QSO's, down on 16 LSB. By the time the air cleared, skip went too.

For those that don't know what this radio is.

anyone around Phoenix looking for a nice base. Not mine, but better than ebay pricing https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/ele/d/mesa-vintage-ge-superbase-cb-radio/7804786884.html

Best album ever, among several others of that time that all share #1 status in my mind. Hard to pick a winner amongst the greatest era in music.

I've a friend that won't listen to this album...or watch the Exorcist...

I think I had a similar problem with my ranger freedom sometime back. Seems to come to mind that although the 959 and the 696 radio chassis is the same, some of the alignment values were different between the 2 radios. I wish my memory served me a little better to point to a specific, but I did...

I think I heard ya down on 16 yesterday, but I wasn't in the pipeline.

I still hear ya...sounds like a local group on there with the over ride

I hear ya in there, can't make the trip

Much better than the re-make

That's true, I guess it depends on how you value your equipment. $150 isn't exactly cheap, but you're getting a new transformer basically. The choice I had was to buy a used or abused unit as you state, but then there's the risk of getting what you have... For my situation a used Fisher Amp was...

I'm no expert, but https://www.transcendar.com/ rewinds transformers if it comes to that. I had an audio amp, Fisher, that had a bad transformer, I had the restorer send it to transcender for a rewind and it was rather inexpensive considering they no longer make parts for them. There are several...

one of the best of the times. A great era for music/musicians
