Andy,

Try a CB repair shop. Any shop that does repair work will typically have a
"boneyard" of dead radios in their back room or storage shed. A good bet would
be a shop located at a truck stop on the interstate. When a trucker's CB
quits, they usually just buy a new one and abandon the old one at the shop.
Sometimes the dealers repair and re-sell them, but often they just toss 'em on
the pile.

Hello. I need a couple of components for a Realistic TRC-458. I checked
with
Radio Shack and the parts are no longer available. Can anyone suggest a
source for these parts:

Item D401 (LED), Part #L-0776, Channel Display (TLR321)
Item PL401 (Lamp), Part #L-0786, S/RF Meter (11.73v @ 43mA)

I found the channel display, now I just need the light bulb. Anyone got any
ideas?

Suggestion: Look for a generic replacement for the LED display
(I'd wager it's just a seven-segment unit), and replace the pilot light
with a LED (use a super-bright if it's for a backlight, and a standard
one if it's just a front-panel pilot light).

Happy hunting.
