In about 2008, I had a friend (local to Clearwater) who had an HR2600 that he wanted me to ChipSwitch, which I did. I wound up getting his 2600 CPU board, swapping in a spare 2510 CPU board I had at the time, and socketed it to put the ChipSwitch in, as that was what he wanted.

I shifted the pins on the plugs themselves to put the correct 2600 wire (radio side) to the correct 2510 pin (CPU side) on the board. If you carefully use an Exacto or other small sharp blade, there is a tab that interlocks the wires into the plug, so I shifted the wires to make them work. correctly, rather than cut traces on the board.

I had worked on a LOT of HR2510/2600 and Emperor TS5010 radios up until I quit and moved to Clearwater in 2000.
