Re: it still works
I remember the Excalibur, someone once asked me to mod one for them.
Something went wrong and it sat on the bench being a real puzzle, ISTR it would not TX.
Eventually found it was an electrolytic cap (ISTR C5) or something similar.
I fixed it, modded it and got rid soonest.
Although they (and the jumbo) are not much more than a rig and the psu etc in a big box I quite like them like that.
You have plenty of room in there for lots more kit yet

Re: it still works
I saw one of those on ebay except it was broken up into parts and sold separately lol I even messaged the seller to say it was a shame to break such a nice radio into parts to sell separately but oh well. If it was a whole unit I expect he would have got lots of bidders on it even if it was broken. Nice radios they are.
