I had a small police department ask me to fix a GE (PE66?) handheld
that fell off the top of a cruiser during a hot pursuit. The potmetal
case was so full of cracks that the entire radio could be twisted.
There was no way that piece of junk could be fixed. There were no new
cases, and no spare space inside to repair the thing. Most of the
antennas had lost the rubber covers from their being used as handles.
