Well I made it down to the Solder Joint, they were most helpful. I took the CB with me and had them check it out. The CB is in fine working order but the mike was shot and the tuning knobs were a little stiff. They sold me a new mike, power cord, coax cable and mounting bracket. They steered me towards a place to buy electronic cleaning fluid. (Orvac Electronics in Fullerton, CA.) Now I'm waiting for a pedestal mount that I purchased on eBay. That should arrive in a few days, then I'll be up in running. Thank you all for your advice.:wings:
