A couple of reputable shops that come to my mind are Bells CB.
Stryker SR-955HPC V2
And CB World.
SR955HPC - Stryker 10 Meter 60+ Watt PEP Amateur Ham Radio with SSB
Screw driver at Bells has several videos showing his work. I'm not sure about the techs at CB World, although I've bought some antennas from them, and their customer service was top notch.Last edited: Feb 21, 2023

What type of work needs to be done? If any tuning is involved, performance will always be worse after the work is done. Negating any value in money spent.

Thank you for the reply. I have definatly spent some time on Bells CB web site. Good to hear they are well liked. So the 955 seems to be a better choice. I will check out CB World. I have never heard of them.

I have some old cobra/uniden radios that need meter and dial lights and small work.Timin770 and rabbiporkchop Thank this.

Virtually anybody can solder a couple wires.
I wouldn't be too selective about who replaces a meter light. I would just go to the most convenient location for something like that. -
Thanks for your responses. After reading some of your comments in some of the other posts, i feel you may not be a fan of the 955. What is your recommendation of radios. I am running a Galaxy 98VHP now, only because I like the side mic port, and the nice selection of controls (dimmer) etc. I just don't feel I ever get compliments on this radio like i used to on my Mirage 9900.

It's hard for me to recommend any export radio with a factory alignment due to the mismatched mosfet finals. Any single final radio should perform quite well, but that pretty much narrows it down to an HR2510 or a type-accepted cb radio. Any ham radio with Mars mod would be a decent option.RockinChair Thanks this.
