Wow. Very nice!
I would like one of these for my CB40F.

I can certainly make one for you. But, my shop turned into this today:

Everything was moved out to the garage so I can finish out the inside. I estimate about a month down time. I do have one project that will be ongoing in parallel but nothing new right now. If you are not in a hurry I can get to it in November possibly.

I drive a 40. I'm never in a hurry!
That shop looks great already.

I have been keeping busy on the electronics end too Russ

 

[CruiserTrash]

That’s a nice looking space!

here is to keep you interested while you wait Russ ........

My electrical solder is rosin core. Why can't I find rosin flux in paste or brick? Does "regular paste flux" work for soldering electrical (rosin core) solder to steel and brass (sometimes I want to keep oxidation down as I heat things up before I melt the core of the solder for flux, akin to a pre-argon purge with a TIG welding method)? Basically, I can't tell what the difference is between sweating plumbing fittings, and rebuilding an automobile?

How can I determine if a mid '70's computer is functioning?

I'd like to resmog with the VSV valve for just fuel tank vapor functions.

First time seeing this thread! Great stuff and good to know for recommendations when people need repairs.

Does that unit have a AM orange indicator Russ ?

 

[ToyotaMatt]

No AM indicator at all on these. The only indicator is the stereo lock light. They are a small grain of wheat bulb, almost always blown. I replace them with an LED.

i love the fact that i am able to slowly JEDI Mind Trick you to accept the ways of the LED , and it's working ..........

I am betting you can fix my premium factory sound system in my 86’ mini truck? I think the issue is the power/volume knob.?

 

[desmocruiser]

Yes should not be a problem. No guarantee on cassette deck, depends on parts.

Excellent, I will be in touch. No worries on the cassette player even though I have an awesome REM and U2 collection somewhere in storage!!
