    unidentified module

    Found this in my parts selection. I don't know if it's a specific radio part or an aftermarket item. Almost looks like some sort of channel board, but I'm just guessing. I have no information or paperwork I can find.

    Cobra 25LTD Classic

    Working on a 25 LTD Classic for my nephews truck. It's an older Taiwan model that has been sitting in the garage for years, his, not mine. I didn't get a pic but the speaker side of the cover had all the wax and stuff on one side that had leaked from the board. No big deal, cleaned up nicely...

    MECTRON ME-400

    Does anybody have any information on this radio? Other than a user manual I can't seem to find anything. The one I have looks perfect, receives great, I haven't keyed it. I will save that for after a re-cap maybe. Meishoh Electronics Co., Ltd. is the maker, and they also made LAKE CB radios...

    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...

    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...
