Telex/Turner still produces "2 way" radio devices for Public Service - at
least according to their Web Site. They also have a spot there for the "CB
mics" - although - little information. Between your info and some others I
dug up online - I was ok. Looking in one of my trade magazines, I didn't see
any Telex/Turner ads. Most places around here - use mostly Motorola stuff.

As to "demand" - I guess it depends on who shares that opinion. I'm not
saying you're wrong - but, for example - here - the CB craze has pretty much
died. The "few" CBs heard now - are mainly from truckers on the Interstate
not far from here, local hauling companies, "skip", trucks coming into the
local factory and the guards to direct them.



I look on ebay for demand. People are still paying money for old beat up mics.
Some are even paying upwards of $100 for D104s. There isn't a major demand as
far as mass production. But I am sure some outfit could produce them in smaller
quanities as some other gear is made.

Yeah, you'd think someone could do it. I bought a box full of CB stuff about
a year or so ago off a lady I had known for a while - who was getting out
it. She had a couple D104s in there. I can't recall which ones now exactly -
I think one was amplified - one not, I can't recall now. I think I got like
$40 a piece for them. I do notice - when I bother to look - that the D104s
do seem to be asked for. Personally, I've never been a fan of them - as a
CBer from years gone by - or a ham. They work ok - but to me - just too
damned awkward. Oh well - there's nothing wrong with - recycling.

I have a Turner +3B that seems to be ****ting the bed. I replaced all the caps.
The problem is the element or the contacts. Neither is available.

I'll have to check that out. I'm not sure about those "so-called"
replacement cartridges from RS. Have you tried one of them - yet?

I think the element on the +3 is the whole head itself.

OUCH - that could suck! I'll see if I can find anything around here. I can't
make any promises.

I have a turner super sidekick that I'll give you a deal on, Vin. Email me
if you want it. It's currently wired for an 8 pin Kenwood. Works good.



I was lookign for a +3. The +3 has amp and compression. The SSK on;t has an amp,
and is tuned for SSB. I do most my CBing on AM. When I am SSBing, it's usually
with my icom on 10-20-75 meters. But Keep me in mind for other equipment.
