- Time to put this old girl down. Not Worth Repair. The radio is worth more to me as parts, sad to do away with a nice looking rig, but with no service info and low AM audio, the 121 has gots ta go.
The 121 is also known as the CRT Ulysse, Dirland SS3300, and Super Star 3000 if not mistaken.
Chassis....... EPT 120112Z
A good parts box is a blessing! I met my best friend and teacher because I needed an IF filter transformer for a Navajo a guy gave me when I was a kid. His extensive parts box had it. That was about 1976 and we’re still best friends and I’m still learning from him. Many of your methods are the same as we do. I guess technicians everywhere do what works best. (Such as using heat sink grease to polish plastic meters and windows🤣) Great video!
Parts is parts…. You gave it a fair chance. I’ve got an old connex 3300hpzx yard sale special that’s got a similar issue. But for $5 it’s worth it for parts alone
Saved those parts don't throw caps parts 390 wagonmaster you don't know there's be shortages on electrictrics parts the way things happen don't throw your TVs any thing runs on electrictrics reuse parts on repairs on your cb radios.

I got heard UDX-99 today on channel 38 LSB on my shortwave radio it's around 4pm my time.
I am only hearing stateside AM signals on 26.805 do far. Yesterday I was hearing MR. 'CORNBREAD' on ch 28 AM from Carolinas, and somebody talking with 2112 on ch 11 AM...
I hope you find another superstar cb radio.
Question how similiat is that radio to the superstar 3900 Minr recieves well and talks great but after running a while she drifts real bad. are some of those componets similiar to the 3900?? I ask since ive not seen any like mine here in north fla..Thanks..
They drift as then warm up and cool down, older ones are not so bad. The newer RANGER made EPT3600XX are the bad ones drift wise. Cheaper components are used.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hello wagon master,, I got a 148 gtl from eBay last year for $60 when it came the only thing left for them to put in this poor radio was the kitchen sink, Roger beep, Echo, variable power, silly channel mod, 5 pin switch to 4 pins limiter clipped, I put it away for a while, I now start removing all the nonsense hoping I can get it back to life . I now know why it was for parts or repair
For parts or repair on Flea Bay often means a piece of junk. Much of he time the seller knows that too. He hides behind that For Parts or Repair to sell garbage.
@@jamescrabb8766 very true,I kept passing over it,I did order a face plate with new knobs should be here soon , next on the list is a cap upgrade kit
@@maninthevan53 Good luck !!!
I know it's late but do you still have the front bezel face plate ? If you do, I would like to buy it from you. I'm restoring my SuperStar 121 and my face plate is damaged. Thanks.
Shoot me a email udxcbradio at yahoo dot comm.
still hungry for chicken legs..... Nice "part out rig", hate to put down a good or decent radio, but comes a point....lol was yrs ago feeling with alot of 70's radios.... (Midland/Uniden audio chip)
Maybe you can recapped your other cb radios some those parts.
Surprised you couldn't find info on it being that it's a rci board
Since this video I have pulled and used parts from this rig that has helped me out in a big way. So being that radio was a dog and not really needed, i'm super happy with the outcome.
Cheers
Bummer. Cannibalize away!
