Do you accept mail in repairs? If so, can you email me your contact information to dgater43@gmail.com? I have a Tram Corsair 23 Channel AM/SSB Mobile Radio that I purchased off Ebay several years ago. This radio did not have a mike wired to it and I believe it was a incomplete repair/restoration.
Would like to get it up and running.

This is Red Monkeys last week, he was practically giving stuff away this weekend, he's been around since the 70's
Didn't know Jericho was closing up shop as well. Both good shop as I delt with both.
Only other shop that I'm aware of in central valley would be Flash electronics in Tulare

surface mount technology are running these shops away
Surface mount is not the problem, old eyes and shaky hands are. I have the surface mount equipment along with the variable power microscopes, on repair day coffee is not permitted until all of the small parts are placed and soldered!
Truth is I actually like surface mount chassis. Like Tallman said you just need to have equipment suited for it and decaf! an oh yea that microscope is really handy, I find the surface mount to be as easy or maybe easier to deal with you just need a little patience. Swimming through mountains of wire can be more time consuming than SM chassis.
I bought one of these because I like having my face away from hot metal and solder fumes. The mount is too light to use so I mounted mine to a small saucer and really cleaned the suction cup and locked it down.

I have not seen this set up Tallman. I like the screen hooked to the scope. I have a scope by its self and hook it up to my laptop or my desk top. to view the items. this might be the best way to go. looked at the ones from china as far as shipping. price they are wanting is about the same as the US shipped one.
over the past year the China sellers have jacked their prices up to match the US shippers. I have noticed this on a lot of the items from china. use to a item from China was about 75% cheaper than shipped from the US. looks as if China is trying to make the big bucks but it takes so long to get items from them compared to US shippers.

So what is your opinion of this camera and screen is it sharp enough and large enough to give the image resolution you like and is it easily unattached from the base to get deeper into the middle of a chassis. I have a camera like Sonoma and it works really good but I had to build a solid extended arm for it to make it easy to zoom over the entire chassis and hold it still so I wasn't overcompensating in the wrong direction all the time but I'm not done with that yet as I'm to busy getting repairs done. I would not hesitate to purchase one of these can't have to many eyes LOL.

I think what is happening is that China is wanting to shorten shipping times and is now stocking warehouses in the USA. I have seen a big price fluctuations for the same item with stock in the US. Could be that the communication is slow from China.
It works just as good as the High dollar Bosch and Lomb I was trained on. The B&L units got the face up away from solder but smoke was still a problem.
These photos were taken with my cell phone of the video screen. Sorry about the poor quality. The laser etched 12.00 is the crystal on the board. Also a pictured of the edge of one chip. The video scope has a slot for a micro chip for photos you can snap your pics right from the scope.
