Hi BobThanks for your reply, I am well into my retirement now, never had any
electronics training that's why I ask for a lot of help hi hi, I was in the HM
Forces till I was medically retired and still managed to complete 40 years in
civilian work, but the a heart problem put paid to that, so I keep busy with my
air cooled BMW bikes and radios, trying to stop the grey cell ( yes singular)
from atrophying, takes me hours to do what you can do in minutes of that I
have no doubt, so I will be asking for help/advice on several different TT
radios.For instance I have the Argonaut 2 535? with a back light problem with
it, I even built one off board to see if I can replicate the fault and
subsequently cure it, then apply it to the radio, that one didn't work either,
back to the drawing board hi hi.have fun73Snowy

Yes, international shipping is getting very expensive. I have a piece
of test equipment which I sold via E-Bay. When I went to ship the 10
lbs. packed to Brazil I was quoted $285 and that didn't include
insurance. WOW needless to say I declined that purchase.
As I am liquidating all of my shop test equipment, now retired from
radio repair, I will say that I'm getting fair and acceptable prices for
each piece of equipment but the packing and shipping is killing me.
Even using the E-Bay estimator and bumping the number 50% doesn't cover
my costs. What gives?
Oh well, at least it puts some new $$$ in the ham radio fund. No sense
in crying over spilled milk........here kitty kitty kitty.
I'll look for some of those screws.
