Yup, I never saw the draw. I was out of radio from roughly 1992 til about 20teens. Before that, all good old school stuff, Ranger, RCI, Uniden, Cobra, etc. When I decided to come back, I first latched onto a SS158EDX and was happy with it. Then I began to notice the newer stuff, tried a couple...

That was my thought when I did it. It's been an extremely humid summer so far, and I thought the old gunk may absorb moisture and act like a cap or something. Plus, I noticed that when I keyed up, the noise was a loud burst that slowly decreased to a certain point and then held a stead gain...

Okay folks, update. I located an EF Johnson element that I thought would be a replacement for the sidekick. Turns out the New Old Stock part was for a plus three. So, I modified a deg-02 to go in there and mount it all up nice and firmly. Turned it on and still had the hiss. Just for the hell of...

I know. I've already spoken to him about radios and common sense. His problem is that he began working in a radio station at an early age, and although didn't keep that job long, he developed a fascination for large, knobful equipment. I've explained repeatedly to him about recapping, robbed...

I have a buddy who's been out of CB for quite some time and wants to get back in. He has a radio (Saturn Echo) that has been a bit molested and would like it back working. He said there is an extra knob on the radio that he's not sure of, and looks like someone removed the echo board. The radio...

Okay, the title threw me off with (2) NOS Turner +3 and Turner +2.

Excuse my ability to read your entire post. My sinuses are affecting my sight today. But, are you offering TWO plus threes AND a Plus 2 for $250? The mics total?

Look what I happened to find! New Old Stock, EF Johnson branded, but she'll bolt right into my super sidekick. RF Parts had one in stock. 20 bucks!

I'm going to try making a welch plug fit snuggly. Should look good in there

????

I'm still interested in your elements if they're good.

Those reeds are delicate and can crack. I used the shim between the cam on the push bar and the reed. Worked perfectly.

That was exactly my thought as well, since I just had that exact same issue. One of my +3s would give a crunch on key-up and it took me a while, but did find the issue. Instead of bending the reeds, I used a shim, very thin card stock to tighten the gap a bit. worked perfectly.

I use my cell phone now.

I always use an awl and just poke a hole, then put a screw in and tug it out.

A model number and/or pic would be good.

I was chatting with CHATgpt today about it and was given some tests to make. I was told that the SSK dynamic element was supposed to be between 200 to 500 ohms. If I got an open reading, the element was either electret, ceramic or crystal. Well, it looks brand new and it's open. I'm guessing...

I found this: MFC4000B = ECG752 / NTE752.

I turned it up to the point where my voice would be sufficient to transmit. Now, I've run Turner microphones since the 1970s and I've only ever had to turn them up to the 9:00 position to get absolutely perfect and strong modulation. To get proper modulation out of this sidekick I need to turn...

Just for the hell of it I ran all the info into AI. Everything I've experienced and done so far. It asked for pics of both sides of the board so I uploaded them. AI says not to replace the audio chip because according to me test procedures it should be okay. The reason is that if I increase the...
