I think your videos are very informative and have brought me back to what I done I collage many year’s ago. Great to see this still alive. Your a star. Keep doing these please.
I remember when I had one of those sets it was towards my final CB days in September 1990 it was a good one to end with which finally got sold summer 1991, I will look forward to the scratchy corner test.
Well these & the other Cybernet 134 sets also using the high-end version of the chassis are hard to be bettered. Current models I see are nowhere near the performance & certainly aren't going gto last 40 years_+. Bear in mind Fidelity also had the CB2001 made for them which is identical looking but uses the Cybernet 002F chassis instead; whilst very good, ot's not quite 'as good'. Of course Fielity also had the 1000 & 3000 (base station) mzade for gthem & both are abysmal. Richard, G0OJF, UK
@ukfmcbradioservicingTango21 I will do Richard. I've not thought about it for a while but I will get around to it. Also got two Yorks that need doing, all very tidy sets.
I've covered it a few times on this channel & I like them too. The transmitted audio & the squelch operation are superb. Because the receiver is unusual & difficult to align properly, most set out there don't work as they should so of course the CBers say 'they're crap'. After decades of not being able to get the power leads, I am now able to get the plugs (&chassis sockets) from Japan so we can now make up & offer power leads. Richard, G0OJF, UK
As stable as a bag of worms 🤣Sometimes you say the oddest things that make me laugh. Nice sets those, bit to shiny, but all you need in a CB. Another one saved 🙂
hi richard happy new year good luck servicing &alignment the fidelity cb 2000 cb 27/81 uk fm cb radio from paul chapman at east sheen 73's also get some tipp-ex
It may be a sensible idea to promote the working test set behind you to the task of MAIN test set, and then bin the dodgy one as scrap or possibly sell it at a radio rally.
The test set behind him doesn’t go down to 27MHz but is ok for testing audio 😊 if I was Richard I would set aside an afternoon to change the faulty capacitors in the main test set…
What a loopy idea. I've repeadedly said the make & model of the test set behind me so research it for yourself...Quartzlock 282....and discover it doesn't work under 68Mhz on receive. I've also demonstrated it on some Fidelity repairs some years ago because the Farnell sweep generator is on that bench too. Our 2-way radio work is of course mainly licenced business radios....the lowest band of which ends at 68Mhz & the Highest at 470Mhz. Most test set do 68-512Mhz for this reason. We've four Maconi test sets like the one I do the CB radios on & I'm not shifting them around for your benefit. Most people use seperate instruments anyway rather than all-on-one test sets. Let's get the house demolished because one window won't open. Richard, G0OJF, UK
