JeffBlan Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Anyone know of a cheap option I could use?I have a Ramsey FM25B that I have used the past 4 Halloween/Christmas season. This year, I fired it up for my Halloween display and I'm getting ALOT of static. Must be a bad GAL5.For a replacement, after reading posts here and other places, I've ordered an EDM-LCD-CS-EP. It may take 2-3 weeks to get my new transmitter. In the mean time I'd like to get my signal working for my Halloween show.I could get a replacement GAL5 from Ramsey but since it is a surface mount, I'm not sure how easy/hard it will be to replace.Whatever I do as a temporary measure would really need to broadcast on 95.5 since that is what I have on my sign.You can hear the music some. I guess I may just have to live with it until the new transmitter arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffBlan Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 The problem is finding one in stock at a local store. I haven't had much luck.I did order the Ramsey parts. Hopefully they will arrive soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrypowerz Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 You can usually sniff out a Belkin for around $10 or so on the 'bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBlan Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yep! I just bought one. At least I will have a decent backup if I can't get the Ramsey parts installed.At least it is the Halloween season and not Christmas!Thanks for the advice!

JeffBlan Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yeah! I received the gal5 part from Ramsey and got it to work again.It will be good to have the belkin as a backup and of course I ordered the EDM.Replacing the gal5 wasn't too difficult. Took a little bit of work to get the old one off. Just have to be careful when putting on the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
