Headset Help

Hi Folks:

I need some help with my CB / Headset project. I have it pretty much completed. From a 90 I was able to acquire a complete CB and radio system which I have been wireing and mounting into my 84. Has been an interesting project and I feel fairly successfull. All is now working except for the drivers headset. I only get sound from one side. After much deliberation and head scratching not to mention testing and testing I've narrowed it down to one pin in the cable that comes from the radio inside the fairing to where I plug my headset in isn't working. Cleaning etc fails to get it working sooooo

Does anyone have one of those cables they would be willing to part with??

Or you can order a new set of amp to headset cables (J&M YV-41), from Sierra Electronics for $51.00 USD + shipping. They will ship USPS to Canada.

If you buy that, it looks like you'll be getting both front and back,,,,,,hummmm maybe 2 sets would be a good thing, one for you and one for some friend of yours??????????

Thank you Rocket for your reply.

I am probably going to go that way. BUT just before I do that I have one more thing to try. In that box of stuff I also got another extension with two plugs on it. I was considering cutting up the cables and combining into one good one with solder and shrink tubing. I don't know if breaking the shield in the middle like that will have a negative effect. I'll do that before Wednesday and try it out on the way to your place then I'll know.

I like the idea of new ones though and I could get the clips that hold the ends at the same time. Plus it looks like they have caps on them to protect when not in use.

Wow GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!must be work to do today!!!!!!

If you break the shield it becomes useless, it needs to be continuous or it is no good and the wires will pickup static, the broken shield is probably worse than no shield at all.
