Dave, I would like to buy all four of those TR1985 series radios from you.

Hi wonder if you managed to source the TR1985 radios as i have 4 that i am looking to part with.

Cheers Dave

Dave, I would like to buy all four of those TR1985 series radios from you. I have international shipping accounts and ready to buy.

Please PM me.

I’m still hunting 🙂

I was able to get my hands on a TR1987 and while I was able to make some discoveries with the components, this model isn’t exactly right. Apparently I need a TR1985 or 1986.

If it comes down to just finding parts, these are the parts I am aware that I would want:

1: The filters on the back of the case

2: The items in the following photo:

That photo is one I found online, not of a radio that I have.

Here you can see those items on the original screen used prop. The photos of the prop are on the left ( “pink-ish” in color). The TR1985 is on the right.

This shows how those items are different from the TR1985 to the TR1987:

Thanks to anyone who can assist.

It’s all good Bruce! Thank you so much for helping. I hope to begin getting them prepped and attached to the landspeeder here soon.

Yeah, if you happen to stumble on anything else please let me know. I wish I could come dig around in your barn but alas… flying over from the U.S. isn’t like riding my bike down to the gas station 😉

Sorry it took so long – I was concerned that they wouldn’t be in good enough shape, but they look fine compared to the original prop!

If I find any more, they are yours. I cant believe that in a whole pallet of radios, there were just two left!

Bruce

Thanks Bruce!

I got my crystal banks:

I am holding the part next to a photo of the original, on the back of Luke’s landspeeder from Star Wars:

I might be up for finding one more of these and possibly a whole radio, or two.

Another friendly bump, in case someone can help me find these.

I really would love to have these for my project. Someone just take my money 😉 hehe..

Which band or frequency will this TX on?

Thanks for the link. That does seem a little steep.

I’ll keep it in mind but will probably keep hunting.

Try John Birkett Steap Hill Lincoln he has plenty of said items for sale and at fraction of the above price, Near new PTR175’S bagged and tagged £25!!!

There’s a TR1986 currently for sale for £99.99 on ebay – item 141053464935.

Still hunting, in case someone can help me find one, or possibly two of these.

thanks.

Friendly bump….in case someone stumbles on to a couple of these 🙂

thanks

I got to thinking. I know a few people in Europe. If shipping to the U.S. is a pain, and that’s why I keep losing contact with folks, perhaps someone would be willing to ship the items to one of my friends and they could ship to me?

thanks,
Cal

Awesome. Thanks!
I don’t need the crystals anyway so … perfect! 🙂 The units don’t have to be functional at all either.

Shipping might be a stickler. I’m in Colorado / USA (zip 80538)

I would love to see some pics if you have them. I am interested in two units or at the very least possibly one full radio and a 2nd crystal bank / change drum assembly. Or at the absolute minimum I would like two of the crystal bank / change drum assemblies. If you could share some pictures of that assembly with the cover off that would be awesome. If your radios are in pieces I would like at least some of the innards.

Please feel free to send me a PM and we can maybe move the conversation to email?

thanks again,
Cal

I have a few of these types complete but no crystals will make sure they are 1985’s where are you based.

I’m still looking for these. I have had 3 guys now tell me they have them and I try to give them my money and I never hear back…it’s so weird 😉

Anyway, I’m bumping this up to see if anyone can help.

thanks,
Cal

Bruce, I’ve sent you an email 🙂

Dave, please check your pm’s and let me know. I don’t know how else to contact you. thanks.

Thanks Dave,
PM coming your way 🙂
