It is relay switching. Kind of a funky looking mic. I had one a while back. I just prefer the Turner plus 2. I have a Comstat 25A I need to work on. It has a blown cap and the on/off switch is always on like the contacts are fused together.

I picked up an old Comstat 25A for just a few bucks a while ago. it is in pretty good shape but needs some TLC. It worked okay, received and transmitted etc. before a cap blew! It needs the lamps in the meter replaced The weird problem with it is that the on/off switch in the volume control is...

The M+3 is cool and nostalgic for me. Very cool stuff!!

Sounds like classic alternator whine to me.

This one is a little dark; And this one below is a bit too silvery; But thats not to say all plus 2 paint was the exact same anyway. You can adjust to your preference. I think it's gotta be a hammertone finish to look good.

I bought this to try. It gives the hammered finish of the plus 2. I am not sure how close the color is yet. I have another spray can but it is just a tad dark and not the hammer finish. It looks pretty good though. I will look for that can too. The cap doesn't look good in the picture as it...

Since there were only 23 channels total when those kinds of radios were made (early to mid 60's or so) with separate transmit and receive crystals for each channel or as in this case a VFO for receive and individual crystals for each transmit channel it is unlikely you'd EVER find crystals for...

I used to love getting those catalogs back then. Henshaw's was a good one. All that cool stuff that I would never see in a local shop around here!! They are still fun to look at. You see the catalogs up for grabs on Ebay once in a while.

I have had him do a couple repairs in the past. Very recommended.

That's okay. It's done and there if you need it. I have three of them in various states of disrepair still. I got all the parts together just the other day. I am retired now so not much excuse! I forgot about this thread until I just saw it now! Thanks for bumping it up!

I had a BB3 Screwdriver antenna mounted the same way on my Chev truck for a short while. I moved it after I got my Smacked All Stop Lights award! I later mounted it in the rear corner of the bed down low on the drivers side. I also trimmed a Fiberglas whip down so it would cover from about 28.5...

Much smaller speaker so I would think it has more treble or higher, narrower freq. response which. may cut out some noise and make it easier to hear. A bit more of a sound quality that cuts through better for your hearing. Broad frequency response is fine for broadcast with music and all but not...

Then don't!! You may regret it later!

Slow learner?? :D

Junk drawer? I've got a junk GARAGE!!:D

...kept in a mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnalls' porch...

Took a look at the extended frequency thing today and all is well. Looks like i used a computer pin shorter that wasn't for shorting as much as protecting the pins. I used a different shorter and it is fine now. I am not seeing where the lamps are for the two meters. They are easy to find for...

The antenna is the Imax 2000. Not sure how I will put it up but I can get it about 10 ft off the ground temporarily tomorrow. The radio has a few scratches on the top. Looks like some surgery to replace the meter lamps. I shorted the two pins but no joy on frequency expansion as I...

Looking on Craigslist to see what's up for grabs in CB and ham gear I came across an ad for a Northpoint CBS-1000 and a 24ft CB antenna. for $50 and it is amazingly only a mile away from me! it seems like everything I might be interested in on Craigslist is 100 miles away out in the boonies...

I have 5 or 6 old CB SWR bridges too of different makes and styles. .Not even sure where they all came from. Probably followed me home from a swap meet "free box" One like that, as was mentioned, probably cost around $12 to $15 back in the early 70's.
