I keep hearing about this "glue" that when it gets old, It gets hard, corrosive, and some what conductive after years of age. I know it looks brown with age but what does it look like new? I sent two radios off to have it removed and they both came back with just the large chunks missing with residual still on caps, a filter, and board.... It was replaced with on one, Hot glue. The other, He used bees wax. Both in the same places. However, He left the same places on both with it. Heres what they look like.
The blob under the board is something else. White/yellow-ish paste muck. Thats in a couple places. Did he actually remove all of it or what is going on? Bad enough I paid him for a FULL alignment but modulation is stuck at 60 and getting kicked down to 40 and so its keeping pep down aswell when it was specified full performance and modulation.... Oh, and they're off by one or two hundred hertz. One is off by two, the other, One. Emailed him yesterday about it and my missing bracket screws.... Nothing yet.
The LC slug is on my 68Elite. I bought this little radio as a floor model at frys when Uniden quit production. That slug has never been touched yet is THAT high... It works great and gets great audio reports for having its limiter diode cut. Its getting replaced. Does about 15 PEP from a IRF 2078. I know to high it will cause harmonics but I've never noticed any. Should I leave it or have it checked when I have the rest of this one done? It also has some grey rubbery type stuff on the WX board...
So, What did this guy really do? Or didn't do.
