Galaxy DX33HML needs some love

The picture didn't come through, if you sent one.

 

I’d try Bells CB. Give a call.

The “problem” with a yard sale Radio is that the work to both make it reliable and look good is far more than the price of new. It’s a headache for the shop, in other words.

Keep it as spare and get a new radio with warranty.

$125 will buy a brand-new UNIDEN 980 AM/SSB radio that forty years ago would have been close to $1,000 in today’s money for the same performance.

Spend another $75 for an RM ITALY KL203 baby amp and Velcro it to radio top. Now your at 70W+ and it’ll run off big truck 15A circuit.

$200 to kick ### & take names.

 

Google Mikes radio repair or DTB Radio.
Cheaper to buy a new radio though.

 

Buy a junked radio of the same make and model and scavenge the cosmetics

 

This is the only cheap solution for that radio.

 

I used to know a guy that had boxes of spare parts and he'd work on it for two days straight and only charge you $20 for his time. Unfortunately he's no longer with us

 

Was in my neighborhood (SoCal) ?

 

He moved around a bit between Arizona and New Mexico and Arkansas

 

I’ve got a friend that could probably fix it up, just depends on if it’s worth your time and his. You can buy a replacement faceplate and knobs for it online.
