Re: Cobra CA60 Desk MIcropone to HiFi

Hello Goldfinger:

Thanks again for your help

The Highs improve a lot, I guess the caps to ground where shot to begin with

The element test good in the pre-amp in bypass mode

Re: Cobra CA60 Desk MIcropone to HiFi

Hello Golfinger:

Thank you for our reply

I been suspecting that the mike element could be the problem (old or damage by humidity)

This microphone lacks of highs

Thanks again for your input

Hello GF:

I wonder if the value for C95 is not a typo

Original value in the schematics for Cobra 138xlr and Realistic TRC-449 shows 470uF/16V

Re: Uniden HR-2510 RX/TX, hi-fi mods

Hello Goldfinger:

Thank you again for your advice Sir

I will start to re-cap this old radio and in the process I will do the changes for HiFi TX & RX and install the socket for Direct Injection

Now it's time for hot iron to fill the room with flux fumes :twisted:

Hello Goldfinger:
