Can anyone recommend a place that can "hop up" an old Sears Roadtalker CB Radio?

I have a 1979 Sears Roadtalker, SSB, Base/Mobile CB radio. The radio is in exceptional condition and is installed in a Marmon Tractor of approximately the same year. I do not want to change the radio to a newer more powerful model for sentimental reasons. I am trying to find someone to work on it. Maybe an old radio tech with parts available. I want it to sound better and obviously be more powerful and I am willing to pay a fair price. I have been to at least 20 radio shops and they only want to work on new products. Any ideas??Can anyone recommend a place that can "hop up" an old Sears Roadtalker CB Radio?
Any modifications to CB radio that teke their power output over the 4 watt and 100% modulation limits are forbidden by FCC regulation.



Here is the applicable regulation:



Any modifications that make the radio do anything over and beyond what it was designed to do are also forbidden by regulation.



Sec. 95.425 (CB Rule 25) May I make any changes to my CB station transmitter?







(a) You must not make or have any one else make any internal modification to your CB transmitter.



(b) Internal modification does not include:



(1) Repair or servicing of a CB station transmitter (see CB Rule 24,



Sec. 95.424); or



(2) Changing plug-in modules which were certificated as part of your CB transmitter.



(c) You must not operate a CB transmitter which has been modified by anyone in any way, including modification to operate on unauthorized frequencies or with illegal power. (See CB Rules 9 and 11, Sec. Sec. 95.409 and 95.411.)







----------------------

As an amateur operator you must be especially careful. You could be subject to the loss of your license. An amateur license does not give you special priveleges on CB. They are 2 different services, each with their own regulations.



Why not just stick to the ham bands? They are certainly much more fun and you can do all the enhancements you want legally.
