Title: Lafayette Comstat 19 10 meters conversion and restoration
Post by: iw5ci on January 20, 2020, 06:54:47 AM
I am starting this project of conversion and restoration of this vintage tube CB (5W input power) . Unfortunately i cannot find the manual, the sams photofact cb-14 or even the schematic. Some components label are faded and the radio is not in it's best shape. Has anyone some informations of this rig?

Thanks for the help. I received several suggestion about where to buy the service manual. The only probles is that the price of the manual exceedes what i paid for the radio.
I will try to fix it by myself and i will buy the manual only for last chance. Of course if it was a Collins radio the price was not a concern, but for a 10$ cb ......
