prc77

[deuceman51]

I just bought my first prc77 radio and was wondering if any of you guys have a good source for parts and accessories. Mine is demilled by removing components, here is the web site on ebay with pics. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ME:B:EOIBSA:MT:11&viewitem=&item=180056739912. I know of pvt jarheads, but does anybody know what is missing in my unit and where I can get a good deal on the missing parts, batteries, mike, and antenna? Thanks.

Good deal on parts? Hmm. Sometime ham radio meets you can find good parts for cheap, but could be hit or miss when it comes to military stuff. Two dealers I'd recommend for mil radio are:

http://www.fairradio.com

and

http://www.murphyjunk.bizland.com

They are not really cheap, but they do have parts that most others don't for green radios.

You're going to have to do a search to find info but Steve Haney in TX and Buzz in Reno both do lots of work on these radios. I think Steve probably has all the modules in stock. He should also have the AM2060 amp and MT1029 mount if you want to vehicle mount the radio. Opcom is a green radio guy and probably has contacts for both Steve and Buzz.

I had some depot rebuild AM 2060's and 77's.

I have some of the interior modules from parted out PRC25 and PRC77 radios... If you know what you are missing specifically, shoot me a PM or post here and I'll dig around and check for you...
Good luck.

NOTE: PRC-77 manuals are hard to come by. That is the serious repair manual with schematics and explanations. It's what you need to fix the rig other than by swapping modules.

If you are so inclined as to do component level repairs, you can get a PRC-77 repair manual from Robert Downs, http://www.wa5cab.com I bought one and am very highly pleased.

I have two. Also a PRC25 and have had good luck with fair radio in the past.
I use one in My 51, M37 tapped off the battery with an adapter from PRC68.com that I picked up at Gilbert a few years ago.
Good luck.
