Vinnie, cut out early from watching the game - will give it a shot. That
info is better than what I had to start with - which was "none"! Thanks!

I got jolted from a Robyn T-240D tube radio. I connected the D104 using
the
wiring diagram, but the the guy I purchased from didn't tell me that the
radio
internal connector was re-wired for a 4 pin Cobra. So I grabbed the mic
and the
channel selector, and got 200 VDC through me. It was not pleasant !

AH YES - those were the days. I had a Lafayette Comstat 25A hit me once. I
guess that is part of what helped give me my "electrofying" personality!
Hell, I had a Tube set - can't recall the model now - out on my cement
porch one day. I was in my bare feet, "it" hadn't been plugged in for a
while. The caps didn't seem to mind that. I bent down to pick it up and
touched the right spot or wrong depending on your view - I still got zapped.

I have a Robyn parts radio right now - ready to clear out or be stripped. I
"think" it is the 240D - but don't quote me - my mind isn't fixated on
"model" numbers right now.

Truth be told, I'd rather work on the Tube sets though - more enjoyable. I
can "see" the parts without glasses - let alone bi-focals or magnifying
lenses. I like the audio and warm glow. Have a Comstat 25A of my mothers -
am wanting to get to sometime soon - to redo. I don't talk on the CB
anymore - but I'd fire it up just to hear the audio.
Around here - for a long while - it was nothing but World War III on most
any channel. Now you hardly hear anyone - aside from truckers and the local
factory security.
