Golden Eagle Mark IV
 

I used to CB a lot, I moved several times and finally got my Mark IV
out of storage the other day and it blew a resistor, R.302 but I can't
tell the colors since is is burnt. Does anyone know the value of this
resistor? I thought maybe a schematic, or I thought maybe selling it.
What would you do?

Before replaceing the resistor, you better check two things:

If the resistor was a carbon composition resistor then it maybe just
sufficient to replace the resistor. Otherwise check any caps that the
resistor maybe connected to.

The problem with a lot of those old radios that have sat for long
periods are the electrtolytic caps are probably not very good anymore.
Many radios of that vintage used carbon composition resisitors. They
tend to absorb moisture and that causes them to lower their value.

Throw it away and get a new Kenwood opened up for 11 meters. Then learn to
make simple wire dipole (468 over the freq,then divide by 2 for each leg)
and get on the band of your choice. With the new rigs having automatic
tuners you only need to be kind of close with your antenna.

Dr. D:
Since I no longer have antenna, mikes, book, and it doesn't work, I
checked them out on eBay and they went for $300 up for both units. Of
course the working ones went for closer to $500 but $300 would do.
They sure get the bids! I can see why. I love the feel and the look
of them.
