I too find the older radios to be quieter, more receptive, better sounding on TX and RX, and definitely easier to just turn on and talk with no complicated menus and such to play with. I just put my old Midland 79-892 on the air after a lot of years. It looks newish and has been recapped. Nice...

Now you did it...I have to go put it on the turntable.

Going through some more of my late father in laws things, I found these service bulletins for I believe the 858 chassis Washington's. I don't know if these have any bearing on the 8719 radios. I guess back in the day they, President, kept more abreast with their products and offered and...

Found a nudie on another site. I think these are the euro version Also a review

Same story with a lot of things in this country. Someone screws up and instead of holding the individual accountable or responsible, they punish everybody. Of course a lot of it is selective depending on your party affiliation.

Thank you. Same to ya, and the same to all the members here.

This has happened to me a couple of times. As I usually don't remember polarity from the time I pull and check them, to checking and inserting the next cap, I usually mark the caps with a mark either toward the back of the radio. Takes me quite a long time to re=cap, but I have also run into bad...

Virginia City is a neat little town. Comstock lode was an important historical event for the US. It's been a while since my wife and I visited, but we really enjoyed it. Rooms were like $25 a week, and all the conveniences of home...community bathroom down the hall, adjustment of room temp...

I think you are correct on the relay switching. I don't have any radios that have that feature. I was kinda hoping there was a magic pill so to speak, as the mic sounds pretty good. I will probably just try and sell the 2 I have to someone who might have a radio that could use them. As it is...

Gave a couple of shouts hoping for a little short skip...got nothing...oh well

Well, I've seen a couple of threads on this, but not seen any real solutions. Trying to wire an old SBE100X to a cobra 4 pin. What I have done, is wired the shield to pin1, the audio to pin2, the TX on pin3, and what would be the RX on pin4. With that configuration, no receive, but do have TX...

I went deer hunting one time with my brother and dad when I got out of the Army. I got a deer, mule deer here I the west, and that was the last time I ever went. I had bad feelings after seeing the poor deer riding on the hood of my jeep all the way home. Hunted birds for a while, but found...

Not for everyone I guess...those south of the border guys really can bling up a radio tho. MRX has some wild stuff.

I like the way you turned the buttons upside down...that way you don't have to stand on your head to read them:giggle:

yeah, I had a lesser quality one, the kind from overseas, and it had issues as well. Found the one I have on the bay, industrial quality, and it looks cool. Not quite as old as me, but close

:cool: I can barely work with 1/8 watt resistors my friend...I'm using this now: And with my fat and old shaky hands... I think I need to go with something a little bigger although it's a good idea.:D

ok?
