Hell, he wasn't even worth his mother and father's time! When they seen that
mass of toxicity come out of her puss - they wanted to toss it - but Haz Mat
regs prevented it.

I am hoping to get down to the bench later on. Haven't gotten there yet.
Last night - was wanting to when I came back early from watching the game -
but after a few brews - figured I better not. Got busy today with a bunch of
stuff. Just now starting to slow down. I don't know where this dude is
getting all his stuff - but WOW... what a mess.
Miswired, chopped up, you name it. I sure hope he isn't paying any good
money for the stuff!

I have that mic, the Washington and one other radio to do for them. The rest
are done and gone.

Thanks for the assist.




I am currently working on a friend's TRC-457, that is another restore project.
This radio was hacked. The channel mods, and clarifier all hacks. The deadkey
was real low. Channel selector is out. Lamps burnt out. I got the deadkey fixed
by replacing the final. That worked fine. As I was trying to adjust modulation
on my scope, I must have shorted the mic inputs, and lost the output. on AM, I
have no deadkey. On SSB, the relay chatters when I key up. I tested the fina and
it's still good. This one might be one of those one step up, 2 steps back
radios. It is the the only radio I have seen with all these different problems.
