If you run into problems, Both Sparky's CB Shack and DTB radio have worked on my Lafayette 640 from 1976. I have been keeping it going. Al at Sprky's was to first tech not to laugh at me on the telephone for asking about geeting such an old radio tuned. DTB had repaired the modulation circut for me recently- It started going off fequency. I was pleased with the results from both.
