Pickup: 23 channel Royce AM/SSB base

[TheRATT]

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I need to wire a mic for it, but it plugs in and powers up - I suspect it will work!

Any diagrams would be welcomed, any memories too!

So, I have a Shure 526T mic I'd like to wire up to this radio. The Shure like 6-pin male... that's gotta come off and I need to wire up to the Royce 4-pin.

Can someone make this brainless for me? Clearly I have too many wires in the Shure.

Are you Shure............

If that's a Royce 1-640 it should probably go like this:

Pin1 - Audio - White wire
Pin2 - Shield - Shield/Ground
Pin3 - TX - Red
Pin4 - Open

Schematic I used to make that here: http://www.shadowstorm.com/cb/schematics/Royce-1-640.htm

If you're having trouble finding the mic input on that, it's just to the right of TR28.

I took a look at the schematic of the mic & the schematic in the SAMS CB-77.
What I come up with is

Pin 1 - gets the mic white wire (AUDIO)
Pin 2 - gets the mic blue wire & shield twisted together
Pin 3 - gets the mic red wire (XMT)
Pin 4 - gets the mic blk wire (RCV)

Thanks guys! Gonna try my hand at soldering for the first time in a long time! I think this pair should sound quite classic together!

That is very 70s SEXY....
That radio should be owned by someone with a Trans Am.

BTW, I love old base radios.

I have one that I picked up off craigslist. Never even taken it out of the box. Guess I better start looking for a fire chicken.

Hey fire chickens are cool. I have a C3 (70s) Corvette. The cars had more testosterone then than most dudes have now.
