Thanks for the replies. I'm familiar with Bell's, but, I'm only in PCB for another 6-7 weeks. I may wait until I return to Chicago area. I picked up a Cobra 29 at a yard sale and it's going to need some work. I thought if there was someone local, I'd give them some business.
When you get back up to Chicago check out Q5 communications up in DeForest Wisc. Steve is especially good with vintage Cobra gear. Last year he rebuilt my old 135 to better-than-new specs, did it quickly and was reasonably priced.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
