Pearce Simpson Cheetah SSB 23 Channel Mobile CB Radio for the mid 1970s. After I made the first video on this radio I burned it in for many days, when I decided to add a power mic to it all went well, she sounded loud and proud. However that was short lived, as I used it the audio lowered to no audio at all. So at that point I decided to try and bring her back, at the time I only had cheap Amazon capacitors so I just replaced enough of the caps to get audio again. It now works and I think works pretty good for a radio of this age.
What say you? Should I recap her with some quality caps, or just run her?
Leave comments below.
Cheers.
PS.. A big thanks to Dave AKA Spaceflight101 for technical support and a little spiritual advice.
You can check out his channel at........ / @spaceflight1019 Lots of stuff to learn there... IMHO

I’m glad that there are old school CBrs like us from the 70s that still appreciate the classics. That old rig sure brings back memories from the glory years of the original internet. 73 from 567 Northern Minnesota.

While any 50 year old radio can benefit from a good, careful alignment many times it's not really necessary. Now...on radios made after 1973 there's a caveat: the FCC changed the power specifications. Early models were set up for 5 watts input on AM and 15 watts input on SSB. Later versions are set up for 4 watts output on AM and 12 watts output on SSB. Sometimes a sticker on the rear apron will tell you. The good news is that on most of them a pot labeled "AM PWR" and a cap labeled "SSB PWR" or "ALC" will allow you to bump it up to par.

I'm a huge fan of the solar powered paint booth myself. If push comes to shove, it's ok to spray the pots and switches with WD-40 or PB Blaster. Follow up with a plastic safe cleaner and you're back in business. Never use Brakleen to clean the switches! It kills plastics!

Nice work 390 ~! sometimes we can chat about getting a newer SSB unit, do you like the Aries 2? or the Anytone 5555? I saw a video where they clipped a white wire which enabled it to get the CB band while keeping a better output wattage, do you know what radio that is? Thanks Sean

While I have not personally had a Aries on the bench I can report that I know two guys that bought one. One told me he liked the features but he said it had too much of a noise floor. He is like me, he likes a quiet radio. The other guy went back to his President Washington base.

What a great story! They are a nice radio for sure. Thank you for watching and commenting. Cheers BTW.... I plan on bringing the radio back out and adding some extra channels or getting a VFO so I can use the rig up in the channel 38-40 area to enjoy it some more.. Stay tuned.
