This is another Regency MT-5500 Marine Radio I picked up. No mic, no power cord, and a broken squelch control. I pulled the front panel and replaced the squelch pot, wired a mic to it, fabbed a power cord, and gave it an alignment. Works great, another marine radio ready for a boat!
I've been in Amateur Radio since 1974, and still find new and interesting things to do. I like to build, restore, and operate on the air.

Regency MT-5500 Marine Radio
This is a Regency MT-5500 marine radio with built-in weather radio. I picked up a few of these and am slowly working my way through the pile. I had to pull the head on this one and replace the volume control, and wire a mic to it. Otherwise, it was in pretty good shape. 25w output, good receiver sensitivity, a solid rig.
