It's a Simpson 30uA movement from a Bird 43 wattmeter.
No need to worry about it now - I managed to get a good meter off a local buy and sell site, and the faulty meter has been sold to someone for half of what I paid for the new one - a win all round!

Universal squelch board
Anyone know if you can get a "universal add-on squelch board"? I'm looking for a board that can be installed in any radio that doesn't already have a squelch control. Kitset is ok as is ready to go module.

I managed to find a NOS display for my 640e a few years ago, and decided at the time to drop the LED current right back. When I had fitted the new display and saw how bright it was, even on the low setting, I realised why the LEDs end up dying. I can't remember how I did it, think it was just a resi...

I have the circuit diagram for that set - plus I think there is a copy in the member's section of RadioMods for it. Bear in mind that the LED display modules for these sets are prone to giving a lot of trouble. The LED segments stop working (especially on the channel number display 8's) and this mod...

Navico Sea Ranger 5600 marine VHF for parts
Looking for one of these sets for parts. Primarily I need a good chassis and casing. My front panel is Ok.
This radio was marketed under other brands as well but usually had the number 5600 on the front regardless.

Who repairs meters?
Does anyone repair meter movements or know someone/somewhere that does?
Preferably in New Zealand where I am, but if the cost is reasonable I will consider sending it abroad.
I can get a brand new replacement meter for $100 US so any repair would need to be significantly LESS than that.
Cheers.

Can't agree more there Rick... Sadly it's like many things. If you've got it, everyone wants it, but no one actually wants to pay for it. Ok, there is no payment system here, it's information given on a voluntary basis with no guarantees supplied. People still need to make an effort to thank the giv...

Fuses wrapped with silver foil or cigarette paper are a good indication that the set has been operated or played around with by someone who has absolutely NO ideas when it comes to electronics. I've even seen instances of the fuses being taken out and replaced with screws, nails and other assorted c...

If it was on the rear of the board (the copper side) chances are it was an after-thought - possibly added after the set left the production line as a means of suppressing some kind of interference that had been causing problems somewhere. Getting a copy of the circuit would certainly be a good start...

A CB antenna is just that - an antenna for a CB. It's NOT for running a marine VHF set into. Marine frequencies are in the order of 160MHz - CB is either 27MHz or 477MHz depending on what sort of CB you are running - either way it's miles off the mark. If you are fortunate your marine set may have s...

Sourcing any parts these days is a mission. Manufacturers aren't holding large stocks of anything, what they do have is usually the parts that never fail and no one wants. Anything half-way useful is never in stock, or they can't supply it. The best option I have seen is to jump down on as many seco...

Things may have changed but the last time I looked into it, if you wanted a marine VHF operator's licence, you had to have a boat - ie they issued a licence in respect of a vessel and the callsign was registered to that vessel as opposed to licencing the operator themselves. Scott, you have just don...
