Realistic PRO 2005 Tandy Scanner from 1989 does it work
Переглядів 320Місяць тому
Realistic PRO-2005 Probably one of the best radio scanners ever made for its time! These were an expensive but great investment back in the day. I’ve just rediscovered mine after many years stored in the attic, maybe 20 years. The radio was purchased back in 1989. Let’s see if it works and look at any repair work that may be needed. #radioscanners #hamradio #Tandy #RealisticPRO2005

    Back here looking at the bare board. I think I may need to build something similar soon for testing. I can build kits but without a decent obstacle course I will never really know how well they perform. I see that originally the board folded and that you have used a special hinge. How stable was this if it was to be folded and unfolded often? Also how deep is the side fascia? I see it extends above the track level to protect it but it also is surprisingly deep. I assume its covering a sub frame of some sort. Sorry for the barrage of questions...

      Not a problem, the board was made for me. I can take some photos under it if you like? There are two large pins that engage as you open the layout out as well as two bolts that go through nearby. The hinges seem very strong but a complete pain on top as you can't use the space lol
