I just got a used Realistic CB base station trc-432. When it will
turn on for me it produces a strong smell like there is something
burning inside. Any suggestion on how to fix it?
thanks in advance

I had one that was doing the same thing. It seemed like the final output
transistors were overheating. I didn't try to fix it, I just took out a
few usefull parts and through the rest away.
