Realistic Navaho TRC-492 speaker cuts out, help.
 
Hi all! Ive got a Realistic Navaho TRC-492 that I inherited from my grand father but the speaker keeps cutting out. I have to tap the unit and it`ll come back on, tap it again and it cuts out. Ive pulled the whole radio apart but cant find any loose or burned connections, Can any one help?

Try the headphone or external speaker jack. Put a insulated probe
into the jack/s and see if moving the internal contacts of the jack
will have any effect on the speaker.

Now that is a blast from the past.... Enjoyed all the antenna and SWR
stuff we used to talk about in the 90's. Especially all the tests you
did on certain mobile antennas. Boy the good ole days.... when we
talked and argued CB ONLY!!!

Yeah, Vista finally came back to life after the last update. Programs that
had been deleted (and even manually removed!) somehow reappeared and my boot
time changed for almost 5 minutes down to 7 seconds to log-in and another 7
seconds to desktop! So I've my groups back LOL. I've been using Ubuntu
Linux, a great OS - but hadn't been able to get groups going on it.

Sigh, you are correct. Many rec.radio groups became a cesspool long ago.
Hope springs eternal ;)

Only place in the world with white hots. Where "waking up
with the wease" doesn't mean you have a cold. Where the
ferry doesn't float, the aqueduct doesn't contain water and
the subway doesn't contain rail cars any more. And the
Frontier Field isn't on the frontier, but in a rather old
section of town. And a can of worms is a dangerous way to
get to work.

I live in the Rochester, NY suburbs, and I know these places
in person.

I heard that! This group doesn't appear to get much use. At
least, not CB related use.

Bummer about the groups. Glad your boot up time perked up.

My XP model, I put in another ram stick. That helped a lot.

Hello 'stormin',

Yep, I grew up in Pittsford. And those Zwigles white hots are good, but try
the Wegman's white hots. Simply delicious!

The can of worms was undone decades ago. Of course, there are many new
bottlenecks. What has it been? Six years that 490 has been messed up?
First the rework on the bridges (one of 'em shifted, remember?). Then about
4 years reworking the expressway. Now the inner loop is all messed up.
Taxes? Folks should move here for a year. They'd leave in a big hurry!
Property taxes of 10,000 to 12,000 per year are not all that rare. And you
don't need a real expensive piece of property to pay those rates. Property
taxes (town plus county) often add up to 3% of the value of the property.
Heck, finance rates aren't a whole lot more than that. Pay a mortgage
forever!

Rochester NY reviews
 
Figured we were no longer talking Navajos.

Anyhow, yeah, the can was supposed to been cleared up. I
remember 490 shifting in the city, can't remember which
bridge. They put all the lanes on one bridge, and then on
the other. Over the Genesee river, was it?

I've not tried the Wegmans whites, though they should be
good. Everything Wegmans, is fine quality, and reasonably
priced. I love the new micro mini shopping buggies, for when
I only need a couple items.

You tried Mark's pizza? I rather enjoy that brand. I've met
the Mark who founded the place. Nice enough fellow.
