Colt Midnite Special

[Van Lifeson]

Anyone know if there’s an adjustment for transmit frequency on the Colt Midnite Special 40 channel tube base?
I have one that’s off frequency a bit. Can’t find any info on this radio.
Thanks.

Closest that's posted online would be the Teaberry T240D. Same on the inside, mostly.

Also covered in Howard Sams volume CB-187.

If you're sure the receiver frequency is right, the 9.785 MHz crystal X3 may be off frequency. Might require replacing a fixed cap on that crystal with a trimmer cap. Best to find out how far off it is first.
