Thanks, Beachcomber

This is what I have...

Is the Lafayette like the old Robyn/Gemtronics/Teaberry models? They were all pretty much the same, IIRC.

I'm not sure about that, but remembered I had a second HB-333 with all the tubes. So made a chart of where the tubes go and what they are. Now I just need to test them.

Does anyone have Sams CB Volume 8? Need the plug wiring diagram to check the wiring on the plug I'm using for the HB-333. Tubes aren't lighting up.

Dan: Glad to help. I was never savoy on computer stuff, self taught thru necessity.
So get frustrated with software/hardware when it does not do what/when I want it to!!!
Then you add this very marginal Frontier internet service, I am stuck with.
This only adds to the issue!!

I've been playing with computers since I was 18 and even I have problems sometimes. You did a great job copying the material I needed and yes I was able to open every one of them. Great Job! Thanks, Gary (Scanning from a book can be tedious work for sure)

Yeah...those "good old" Lafayette base and mobile radios. There was a local Lafayette Radio Store and we often visited the store to drool over the newest radios. My first new base radio was a HB400. My first new mobile radio was a HB625B.

Yes I collect them "good old" tube radios and have a bunch of them. Restoring them one at a time...My first mobile was a Lafayette 525. Awesome cb radios!

Aren't the 525 and 625 both 1970-1971 era radios?

Yes they were. Only difference between the two was the 625 had a wood grain faceplate whereas the 525 was black.
