Re: super star 360
I presume you mean a 360FM , and not a 360 ? They're different radios .
Putting it back to standard can be a time consuming job . If the band switch has been done as well then the front of the radio radio will need stripped . Saying that , I usually do that anyway to give the switches a clean at the same time . The mod will need removed . The band switch will need to be opened and moved back to a 3 pos (or replaced) . Then it'll need rewired , and maybe some tracks resoldered . Once complete it'll need a complete retune . I don't know if I'd describe it as a "hard" job , but you need to be competant and know what you're doing .

Re: super star 360
A few Hz won't really make a noticeable difference on FM mode. If people can hear you clearly and you can hear them it shouldn't be a worry. Also you could just the course tune to bring it on frequency.
If you do need a 3 band switch I have one here from a 360FM I've been breaking for parts.

That looks like an original stealth eprom.

There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.

Pretty sure that was how they were done by the importer in the isle of man. Not the best of jobs...

Re: super star 360
It was. That was original as supplied; the chip on top of the VCO cover will be marked TBP28L22N. The Hi/Lo switch would switch between UK and multimode.

Re: super star 360
Some had the TBP28L22N mounted on the back of the mic socket. Still not ideal, but looked tidier.Mudslinger wrote: ↑02 Mar 2018, 11:18 Pretty sure that was how they were done by the importer in the isle of man. Not the best of jobs...

Re: super star 360
Yes, later on the radios had to be imported without the code on the chip to do the naughty channels. From memory, the radios were supplied with a replacement chip in a bag, and instructions on what to do to open up the radio. These had the chip in a socket on a piece of stripboard screwed to the mike socket.astradyne wrote: ↑03 Mar 2018, 00:35Some had the TBP28L22N mounted on the back of the mic socket.

I would like one of these with the chip on a socket if anyone has one for sale, but it MUST have the original stealth front.
