Thanks tom I did not see that one earlyer today on there, but I will pass on it for a time till I get an income lol. I will be able to recap it with out the book but if it needs some adjustment it can wait for a time. Thogh it is crystal controled might make it easyer to restore.

i have one of those CBs. it would punch 10 watts modulated. it still worked, but i lost interest in it, and she collects dust.

Some of those had 12v wiring inputs. They had vibrators or sometimes solid state power supplies in them. Last time I tried running a SS one on 12v, the transformer literally screamed because of the frequency the power supply ran at.

All I have for this one is the 12 volt cord, would like to make the 120 volt cord later though.
