Ive had 3 midland CBs of that all died eventually!
I keep fixing them but they keep popping capacitors and I've grown bored of soldering them on!

In summary, I wouldn't buy a midland CB again... unless it was REALLY cheap ;)

I was reading this and had a page open on cbs, when the farmer that works at the works strolled in the control room and seen it. And then kindly donated this spare one out of his tractor. Good clean and looks like this.

That's a better one than mine, and free - result!

Especially if it turns out that mine doesn't work... :-D
