TRAM D201
What's wrong with my TRAM D201? When I turn on the radio, the meter pegs over to the left. My receive seems to be ok once it warms up and I can hear all the stations that I can hear on my other two solid state cb's. Is it a good call to say I need to order all new tubes or is the money better spent towards an overhaul since it is old? I think Barket's wants under $150 to ship them all to me. The transmit sounds ok but it does drift a lot until it warms up all day. My TRAM D201 is clean inside and out and would consider it mint.

If it never has been done replace all the caps and the Resistors that test out of spec or look burnt from heat.Doing that and a full Tube replacement will make your radio like a new one and will last another 20-30 years.
All radios tuned by the best me.
