Have you checked with Radio South.
Back in the day, they were the "go to" for radio repairs

They still around?....back in the day they 'hot rodded' my 3EGX and made a lot of improvements to it, especially range.
Worked very well with one of those short, loaded heli antennas.

I wonder if there are any of the clear plastic doors for the 3pb that break off the lock tab hiding anywhere in the world?

Grimracer · Sep 23, 2024

well.. you will have to keep checking the vintage forums.. that system came out in 1992!

Grim, do we have to call Futaba USA to buy the 400mm antennas?
Couldn't find them on the website.

yes.. they dont "sell them" to the public however.. (Unless that policy has changed, call to check that out).. I dont know the current status of that.. (FCC stuff from there point)
