You'd probably need to replace all the electrolytics... I still have a Motorola mobile of similar vintage (had the 1/2-coffee can contol head, & vibrator PS) on 34/94 that I picked up in Scranton, PA for $25 (with a homemade test set). Still works FB after replacing all the caps. Crystals had drifted a little. The 66-split MASTR II mobile is worth something, though. I still have one of those that I was going to build a 2-meter repeater out of, but no open pairs here in Chicagoland. Maybe someday... 73, George, KA3HSW / WQGJ413
