The Courier was never for sale here But de Robyn T123 with the copper chassis in 1967 800 Gulden is about 400 Dollar

EVER DO A REPAIR ON A PHASE LOCK CIRCUIT

Wow nothing has changed in 50 years , I did this in mid 70s

Any idea where I can find a replacement speaker?

What about the part numbers on the encoder? I am looking for one, mine is skipping forward and backwards while tuning. If it wasn’t for the mic up and down buttons it would be very difficult to use and configure, if not unusable. The factory warranty has been voided, so it’s up to me to fix. Or can I jerry rig a multi throw switch?

I just purchased a 148F GTL, brand new in the box, never opened, with all the warranty papers, owners manual, everything. Still in plastic, Malaysia model,1969 finals, z board, the works.. where can I purchase the expansion board you used?

Beautiful piece of equipment. I'd love to find one in that condition.

😅😅😅😅😅

Thank you for the demonstration. I have two of these radios and I swear the sensitivity was great at one time, but now it seems that both of them have lost their sensitivity. I wonder if anyone has experienced that on these. I wonder what could have caused their sensitivity to drop. They are now only good for up to a mile of so when they used to work fine.

My grandfather was a radio operator in WW2 and after the war a lifelong ham radio enthusiast. I didnt think mych about it until after i got into building my own tube amps a decade ago. Right around that time my grandfather passed and i bought his home to live in from the rest of my siblings. And of course i had to restore some of his old gear so i started with his old shop radio which was an all Tube Realtone Receiver (yes they made tube equipment believe it or not lol). And believe it or not im still finding things. Tonight while looking for an enclosure with a grill for an attenuator i just built i found this sane CB radio. Seems like its in better shape but strangely enough it doesn't seem to be a copper played chassis. Everything else seems identical but the chassis looks to be steel with many components riveted down. Its even got that same exact old 40 uF axial cap lol. Im so tempted to pull out the variac when i find this stuff full well onowing better lolol. Luckily the temptation is slightly less than the trepidation and ill sit on my hands until i have the time to make a capacitor list so i can order some to recap it. What are the odds i could fond the schematic online? I normally dont have much luck finding them for things like this. Thanks for posting!

So what do you do to fix the antenna problem? All you guys talk about doing diagnostics and stuff but none of you say what needs to be done to the antennas to make it match the radio.

Has anyone tried to add a counter poise to this antenna? The roof of my new car is metal but mostly fiberglass. I don’t have faith in the magnetic contact being sufficient. Any ideas? Should I nix the antenna and rethink?

Nice radio for a collector. Or one to flip, if bought right. I would rather use my Uniden PC122XL than this monster. The best radio ever. 🤣

Thank you very much for providing this information. Happy new year my friend. 73!!!

Glue man 😅😅😅

Great video and explanation of how a radio works! Thanks for sharing!

Why would some one do that to this poor radio

i believe i shorted my xlr and fried what i believe to be a capacitor right in front of where the power wires enter, could you just tell what it is?

😢😢😢😢

I need to try this 😅😅

Mud duck 🦆 😅😅😅

😅😅😅

Golden screwdriver 🪛 😅

I can’t find information on my Royce 610 channel matic

I miss mikes radio repair

I still have one of these...not sure if it still works

I have to lower mine on and shove something in the switch to keep it tight otherwise it not get out and the lights go dim something up with the power switch I assume

The amber light that illuminates the radio numbers is not working on mine....is that a difficult fix?

Love your videos Mike, but All sonar tube radios are push pull audio just to clarify. The G, e, h, 23, 3023 all have push pull modulators, there just stuffed inside the single 12bh7a tube, not seperated like the 6bq5 tubes. I noticed nobody on utube clarifies this & makes the 2340 tx audio seem magical. Its audio increase is a combination of changes, not just the 6bq5 tubes. Very little audio increase also, going from 3-4 watt 12bh7a tube to a 5-6 watt 6bq5 tube. What helps the 2340 tx audio allot is the mic PRE-AMP board. Put one on a fs23 & hear it get louder! The 2340 stock mic also helps with louder audio as it has EXTRA electronics inside. Not all stock sonar mics are the same, open them up & see why! Also, the pll has a Seperate Power Supply, so replacing all of the caps in the radio will NOT help the Out of lock issue. The pll 17 volt dc power supply has a seperate tap on the power transformer for less noise in the pll logic circuits. Look at the schematic, pll 17VDC has only 1 small electrolytic cap lol.

Uniden 980SSB Channel King board installation and overview." no How can I get a card to increase the channels on the uniden 980 radio? I would like a sales link please

Location's of C242 to C250 are fubar between the sams and factory pace manual. Best to start at channel 1 and tweak each one to see witch one moves the freq and map each one out, Also i found the C241 only adjust channel's 1 through 4 on this unit As far as the can layout. Use the 1000M Sams manual CB-104 and see it the location's are the same. Come back Mike. WE ALL MISS YOU.

I’m getting ready to buy one

Just won the bid on one just like this. Thanks for your videos. Very good information with all your videos.

so there was no swr protection in these radios?

Your time and cost are more than the radios worth! Great video though!

😎Mint radio even more mint now it’s just got a brand new pair of shoes 🎉👍 73.

Show the 11 meter mod lol

Still love watching this Mike.

Thanks for the instruction Mike!! Really good explanation!! I used to golden screwdriver as a kid and I had a great ear for audio and still messed up a few radios because you can’t hear what you’re seeing!!! I love to see the essential tools in use! All but the .38 on the table I don’t want to see it in use but it’s nice to see it on the bench!! 😂 thanks for the class..!

I bought a C29 off ebay that was just a bad mic ( Mike ) .

How much do you want to that radio 😂😂

Very interesting 🤔 😅😅

Cobra 🐍 138 xlr 😢😢

My noise blanker doesn’t even work 😂😂

This may have been a Cobra 148 GTLDX from the UK, as the EPROM would have been set for the UK legal 40 FM. Very common mod here in the UK.

I just noticed how old this video is, but Mike yeah if you redo the jumper like you had it there's a procedure when you turn the rig on which puts you into a menu where you can play with higher wattage output and more modulation. Now that FM is legal in the USA we are going to probably see the newer FM version of that board. I know these have been out for several years but I'm just starting to get into this.

I'll probably swap it out for a Vishay final.

awesome review!!!! I enjoyed listening to this guy, he seems like a great technician

Do you know what tuning capacitor to tweak to fine tune TX frequency, mine is slightly off?

Do you have a link for that encode replacement part. I am in desperate need of one on my 2995 dx
