    2950 old school - display lights went out

    I've an old school 2950, just got it back from a tune. Turned it on today to listen to some radio and after about an hour both of the display light went out. Also the keyboard lights seemed to have dimmed more than usual. I find it hard to believe that both the bulbs went at one time. Is there a...

    Multi speaker hookup

    Not really a mod, but a question on hooking up a single speaker to 2 radios. I was wondering if something like this would work; I know it will hook up to the radios and speaker OK, what I wonder is if I can use both radios at the same time, or would there be some feedback from one radio to the...

    Cobra 2000 GTL power issue

    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...

    Midnight Special MF400

    I was wondering if the MF400 is a class AB1, AB2, C or something in between. I have done several search's and get different answers. I'm finding out that it is similar or the same as a Palomar 450 FET. Any insight would be appreciated. I generally run SSB, like 90%, so I'm not too sure if this...

    Radio schematic printed on fabric

    Found 2 schematics in a small box of tubes while going through some of my late father in laws collection. I know they used to print maps and such on fabric during WW II so they would not run or wash out when getting exposed to the elements. I have never seen a schematic like that, and the...

    Stalker IX

    This on the bay has me confused. The face-plate looks to be a DX model with the HI-LOW switch, yet there is no "sel call" 6 pin plug on the back as all the ones I've seen have...

    CDE HAM-II/CD44 controller

    Does any body happen to know what the 2 diodes are that are in this controller/ There are 2, D1 and D2, but the manuals only give a CDE part number. 1 is listed as a zener, and another a 100 PIV diode. That's all the info on it I can find. Thanks for any help

    RCI 2950 no 10.240

    Working on an old school 2950, orange face. I found a shorted C103, may have been inserted with the wrong polarization. I replaced that cap, and going through a PLL align, I found I can't get past the first step which is looking for the 10.240 at L61. I think L4 (IFT12251) might be the culprit...

I plan to give him a HR2510 I had done up by "DOC" as a sort of graduation gift but I don't have, or can't find, a bracket for it. If someone has a spare and could help me...

    RCI 2950DX

    I was kinda perusing fleabay and noticed that there are so many fewer 2950DX model offered for sale, or sold, as opposed to the older 2950 models. Any thoughts on this. I have both and like them both equally actually. The DX models have a little more white noise, but are a nice radio. I have one...

    epay...radio costs

    Well, I really wondered why the radios and other items were listed and selling for such high prices. Evidently epay charges have really gone wild since I last sold anything. Almost $60 in fees for a $150 item sold. Evidently the charges are based on item, shipping,tax...crazy. Just a rant, now...

    Box of stuff

    Going through some things and found a box full of parts/things I evidently bought in 2014 as "Miscellaneous CB Radio Parts". I would think that with all the pro's here I can get them identified. They are mostly new, though vintage for sure.
