I just put together the schematic of that Allied A-2530. Note: It looks like they came with Ch 11 Crystals. I think standard walkie talkie crystals will work on the other channels for transmit, but the receive crystal takes a 6 Mhz down from the fundamental. Example: 21.185MHz = Ch19. Unless you special ordered one, that would be a difficult crystal to find. Of course you can always use the tunable receive function in conjunction. That’s the beauty of many early CB’s.

My enhanced service manual, including a separate redrawn schematic for the beloved SX-101 classic. Look at that face on page 1. She’s got the look….Robyn SX-101 Schematic.JPG

I came across this old gem and for the price I couldn't resist myself. It still needs a bit more cleaning, but it's already starting to look better than it did before I bought it home. Does anyone have the photo fact on this rig. Also what mic pairs well with this unit. Thanks in advance for all your help with my radio collection.

Note: A “partial restoration” may only last temporarily and inflict further damage, unless you first replace all the electrolytic caps. Microphone selection will mainly depend on your voice characteristics. With most base stations during that time period, lollipop D104 mics were generally a good choice. That 3 pin mic jack is easily replaced with a 4 pin. I would swap that out and wire it internally to except the 4 pin Cobra standard. That way you can test other mics lying around to find one that will work best for your voice.

I am going to recap it before I apply any voltage. I want to keep the smoke in per se. Thank you for the solid advice though.

Hi TM86, You had me checking if I had the right CB photofacts number. I guess you just mis-typed 274.
Since I started playing with CB radios I have used the Sam's manuals and like their format. I believe I downloaded your information and have it in my files. Thanks again for the info, it may help someone that is looking for it.
