Shawn,

See above - just had one completely rebuilt for $642.

Well, not new or fancy or digitally integrated, but is a solid NAV-COM that gets the job done for VFR/IFR.

A new digital nav com would be roughly 10x that price installed. (GASP!)

I am sticking with the older radios as long as possible as a strategy to keep flying!

Are you selling this or for your plane?

Shawn, this is for my plane...

I keep THREE of them and two are operational in the aircraft at all times, with the extra always either ready to go for a replacement, or being repaired.

I tell you this so you can perhaps BUY one that is not working and send it in for refurbishment - bottom line: it is worth it to do so as another option.

Newer radios are fantastic with all the glass panels and gizmos, but these older radios are perfectly capable of VFR and IFR flight!

I'm stickin'!

So, the TKS MX-300 saga continues, but ends on a HIGH note.

Ellison Avionics Services out of Waco provided outstanding service and pricing.

This is my new "go to" place to keep my three MX-300s working in my plane (2 in and one working spare).

The turn-time was fast - maybe 6 weeks, and the price of $642 for a full overhaul was very reasonable.

These are still very reliable VRF/IFR comm-nav radios.

I'm stickin'!

My panel upgrade begins next week and if all goes to plan I will have my MX 300 up for sale shortly. Unit is in very good condition and works flawlessly. Tan faceplate. Will post more details and pics in the next couple of weeks.
