A Uniden Madison project I've been working on. Piecing this together.
A quick video of my Uniden Madison progress. I work on this radio as time permits. About 75% done. Both of the radios that were used to make this one good radio were very banged up. The clock module was missing on one and the buttons were missing on the other. So I decided to just install a frequency counter. Mostly cosmetic repairs are needed from here. I'll make a second video when the radio is done.
Thanks for watching

It's tough to beat the RX audio on this President JFK

This video doesn't do the receive audio on this president JFK justice. In person, the receive is super clear and super sensitive. Not many radios are as quiet as this one. It's also a great modulating radio as well. Thanks for watching

    I'd say you brought out everything that radio has to offer. It actually sounded pretty solid through your test radio, though if mine, a noise canceling microphone would probably be next on the list.

      They're essentially the same inside and out. Unless you look at the channel dial, you'll never notice. I agree, not the best made or performing radios.

    I have a HP 8640B with no RF output. The Power meter light does not turn on. The unit turns on but no RF output and no counter output movement when the internal frequency dial is turned. The power supply LEDs are and no -5.2VDC. I removed the RF Divider Filter Assemble and the -5.2 VDC is correct. Can you please provide suggestions on what is drawing the voltage down to 0VDC? The rectifier boards and filter caps are good. Al
