THanks much for the reply! I have always thought about using an old radio like that but figured that various finals might all be so "different" that ONE radio wouldn't work to test them all. I guess you are proving that this IS a viable way to test!!!!! Thanks.

Sadly, that one I do not. Apologies.

@danmcclain - there is an entry in the regular section where Claim Jumper is looking for the Robyn radio in CB-89. At the risk of stepping on toes (AGAIN!), I am going to plop it on here.... on the bet that THIS is what he is looking for!!!! 73 to you as always Dan.

That was easy! I started at the speaker ... traced backwards. When I got to the headphone jack on the front panel... it looked kind of funny. I put a finger in to straighten the wires a bit..... The shell of the headphone jack fell apart and the internal contacts fell out with the wires still...

Just curious.... can you test different part numbers? I mean... does that method work well enough to show whether the "test transistor" works.... even though the original 23 channel radio MAY NOT have used that part? ( I hope I am making sense...)

(just a "story".... not a "cry for help". I am having fun!!!) Well... since my layoff has led to my retirement I have decided to quit "eyeballing" that Console V way up on the top shelf. I actually recapped it about 4 years ago or so and just never got " a round tuit " when it came to...

Here is a pic of a clip. The clamp part clamps on to the rain gutter at the edge of the roof of your vehicle. What you do is pull the antenna down and stick the static ball through the hole then slide the actual whip up into the slot. When you do that... it is the BALL holding the whip in the...

Of course.... this will probably only work for small signal transistors... NOT finals and drivers.

A number of years ago, my "radio loving" son, Tim, snagged a 102" whip ... used ... from a friend of his... with ME IN MIND. It was mounted on my truck at the time with a ball mount and always worked really well. Actually did a little DX with it and the Grant XL (that got STOLEN out of that...

Expanding this in a slightly different direction... that MAY seem more like fantasy.... everything is heading towards SMD (surface mount). I have started eyballing these little "conversion boards" on Amazon. They are made with just enough surface mount printed circuit space to mount the...

Thank you so much. All I wanted to know was that he was alright. I wish him luck and good results in everything he does.

Has anybody heard from Handy Handy? I used to see his highly informative posts all the time. The last thing I can track from him is in like March or May of this year. Just checking out of concern.......

Dan, I hope I'm not irritating..... but I jumped on this one. Here you go.

Happy CB Day!!!!

I am unable to send either of the Robyn radios......

Helping Dan out.... part 1

I wish I would have been smart enough to subscribe to S9 or some of the other CB related mags while they were out there! I only picked a few up at the stand now and then.......

Old RD went Silent Key. Kris Kristofferson is gone at 88. Rest easy.

I have one Royce, a 1-600 that I got to honor my father in law. That is what he used back in "the day". He had that with a Turner JM+2U and a Turner Signal Kicker antenna and, i remember it being a pretty decent performer. I don't have his... but I did buy one just like it... just to have it.
