Ford Roadmaster 505

Post by DIRTY HARRY »

Hi people :D ,does anybody have the correct procedure for midbanding one of these? I know they have the Cybernet 134AOX pcb board which is shared by many other u.k rigs such as the harrier cbx,rotel 240 etc,etc.But there are one or 2 differences as there are one or two extra componants etc on the roadmaster's main pcb & the channel selector pcb is totally different when i compare it to my Rotel 240.I don't want to do any trial & error with this rig as its near mint in the box & don't want the expense of replacing PLL's with getting it wrong, so i need the correct procedure for the 8 wires that run from the PLL's to the channel selector pcb which is obviosly different to the regular Cybernet 134AOX midband mod,anybody have the relevant info??Cheers in advance,Shaun :D

Hi Warhorse & thanks for your input mate :D much appreciated :wink: I took a picture of the channel selector pcb,anychance you could copy the pic & put numbers besides the solder points using microsoft paint to show me the exact pins then repost it? as this is priceless info for everybody as its not documented anywhere online & also i want to make sure i get it 110% right.Have you ever performed this mod to a 505 before? Regards & thanx again,Shaun :D
