I know this is an old topic from 2013 .... but I just bought a NOS RCI - 2950 from an old friend , it's never been used until now . The radio is immaculate , and still smelled brand new when I took it out of the box . (y)

I need to replace the 2SC1969 final in one of my radios and I've been told that the 2SC2312 can be a good replacement . I'm actually trying to find an original 2SC1969 , and someone offered me a 2SC1969P . So at the risk of looking stupid I'm going to ask ... does anyone know what the difference...

Wow !!

Hi everyone , it's no secret that I like to buy/collect older CB radios ... which drives my wife crazy . I usually buy older tube equipment , but this time around I was looking for a solid state Pearce Simpson . So I bought a Pearce Simpson Bengal , and it's in fairly nice condition cosmetically...

Oh ok .... I thought it had something to do with the Lafayette ... lol . I have the SAMS Photofact service manual for my Kris as well . Thanks for the info guys ... I was hoping that there might be someone like Klondike Mike that sold the kits already put together. I guess I better dig those...

I had ordered a recap kit for a Cobra 2000 from Mike . But I wasn't sure if he had them for the older radios too ... now I know that he doesn't . I already have the #12 issue of SAMS Photofact service manual ... and I have an account at Antique Electronic Supply . What is in #45 that I'm...

I have a Lafayette Comstat 23 , which I've talked about before ... and a Kris 23+ . I want to do an Electrolytic Capacitor update to them both , but I have no idea where to find recap kits for older radios . So I was wondering if anyone here might have an idea on where I can locate recap kits...

So I fixed the RCA Co-Pilot 14T302 that I use in the mobile ... I have an Astatic D-104 M6B that I use with it . The Astatic mic is about 3 years old , with only a little use . Here about a week ago , I was talking with the wife on it ... and the mic just lost audio for no reason , and without...

So tonight I wired my Lafayette 99-4607 desk top mic to my Comstat 23 , and I took nomadradio's advice and removed the tubes one at a time and sprayed the tube sockets with contact cleaner . I also cleaned the contacts on the 99-4607 mic , and "So Far" everything "Seems" to be sounding good. So...

Shadetree , I bought the Comstat 23 in May . It has been recapped , but I'm not sure how long ago . Here's a pic of it's bottom side , showing the caps that are in it . nomadradio , I have a can of that contact cleaner .... so I'll give that a try , and see how that goes .... thanks

Ok .... so recently I was talking away on my Comstat 23 , and it was preforming well . Then after about an hour or so , I was being told that when I'd first key it up it was sounding odd . Not transmitting , sounding scratchy . But then after a few seconds it would clear up and start sounding...

You're welcome ... I'm sure you get an issue with it . I've never understood why people want to pretend to be something they're not.

It's KC2MRU ... I first got my license in 2004 , and then upgraded to a General in 2007.

I said the power supply that I've been using to run my "main radio" was emitting a high level of EMF ... I didn't say what radio it was running , which was probably because I'm "ALSO" a General Class amateur operator . ;)

So I bought an EMF detector today , and I immediately started checking out some things around the house . Of course the typical things set it off ... outlets , the microwave , the modem , the computers .... etc , etc . But the thing that surprised me was the power supply that I've been using to...

Also , thank you to kopcicle for the link ... very informative as well . It seems this is a very common problem for the HR2510 radios . I also found this link while researching more info on this problem . https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/president-hr2510-troubles.72064/

Thanks Midnight Special . I had no idea that it was possible to reset an HR-2510 , so I looked up doing the reset ... followed the instructions , and now it's back to normal .... I greatly appreciate your help .

I forgot to mention that it does power up when I turn it on ... it just doesn't have key up , or display . I was just hoping it wasn't a processor or something like that .

I've had my HR-2510 for about 13-14 years , and it's always been a good radio for me ... until recently . It had been my main radio for the majority of the time that I've owned it , until I inherited my Grandmothers Cobra 2000GTL about a year (or so) ago ... then I stored it away . About 2...

I recently bought a Lafayette 99-4607 to go with my Lafayette Comstat 23 . The directions aren't real specific , so there's some assuming going on , on my part . First it says: Relay Switching Shield .... Transmitter or Transceiver Ground White .... Microphone Input Circuit Black .... Not...
