Realistic TRC 100B

[Dovebar1]

Hi, I have a Realistic TRC 100B I recently purchased online. Just asking if anyone here knows what the RS part number might be for any external microphone for this unit might be?

Also it came with original leather case, it is in good condition except where antenna is it has a small tare. Any leather conitioner that could be good for this case?

I have enclosed some photos . Need to clean battery case.

Thank you, Jim. PS. Have tried to post photos but get files too big have to try later.

@niceguy71 is our resident handheld CB expert. He should check in soon. If anyone here knows, it's him.

If the leather is still soft and pliable, a light lotion or cream will do the trick. If it's stiff or cracking, a heavier conditioner is needed. I like to do a few applications of either product with a couple of days between to soak in well.

If you don't have a photo editor app on your phone your might have to email the photos to yourself, then save them to your computer. Open your favorite photo editor. Somewhere in the menu will be a "resize" option. Select that and make your images smaller, then export or save as .png or .jpg. A typical good size for this forum is 800x600 or smaller.

sorry guys,............ after all the great build up.... I don't know... guess I'm no handheld expert.

most of the older handhelds used the same 5 pin din mic that all the radio shack CB's used.... but not that one.

I believe it takes
Microphone Input Plug Size: 2.5 mm mono (sub-mini jack.
Speaker / Earphone Plug Size: 3.5 mm mono mini jack

so you would have to find a lapel mic with two separate jacks.

finding an Ear piece will be easy... the mic? I don't know.

you "might" be able to cut the jack down the middle of this...and get enough slack to work.....on this model this MIGHT work

use white vinegar to clean any battery corrosion .

to resize picture.... open the picture on your computer... then right click it and click resize until it is under 2.0 MB ... I normally do 1.6 MB ..... after you resize it save it and then you can post it.

good luck.
