Dr. Duck's Quack Shack CB Radio Repair - Walsenburg, Colorado

[sweetgyy]

cool idea but a bit cramped hey

[zeekzilch]

@sweetgyy

I agree - cool idea!

[TheZeke1974]

I have purchased several items from mr Duck on Ebay and he is top notch!! :-)

[zeekzilch]

@TheZeke1974

Glad to hear it! He seemed like a good guy when I met him at the time of this video!

[TheZeke1974]

@zeekzilch He is. He sent me a mosfet kit for my Cobra 29 and it didnt have the final. He sent it later on free of charge....

[zeekzilch]

@TheZeke1974

I wish more businesses would operate that way! I drove through Walsenburg this past weekend but didn't see him set up in the same place. But, I kind of expected that as it is winter and there's a lot less traffic through the area.

[paraglidermx]

@zeekzilch Haha,,nice little set up man!!Makin the extra bucks!!!!

Hey Bluedogg,,he had your meter!!!

[TheZeke1974]

id be the same way if some goof ball blazed into my house and wanted to video my CB shack unannounced! LOL

[zeekzilch]

@TheZeke1974

In defense of me (the videographer) I first asked permission to create this video so it wasn't the big surprise it may appear to be...

[TheZeke1974]

I think this is the same guy thats selling mosfet kits on EBay.

[sparkyrocky12131963]

the guy needs to be more friendly

what the heck no emial no address

would not trust him with my radios

even if he was a AAA radio repair tech.

[zeekzilch]

@sparkyrocky12131963

He may have been a bit uncomfortable with me rushing in to video record him? But, of course, I

always ask permission first. Either way, seemed like a nice operation to me!

[frostbitewinterwind]

I've known some very good tech's in the last 36 yrs of this hobbie and the two greatest one's were both just like this guy...word of mouth business...To say you would not trust him because he does'nt do what everyone else does!! is too harsh for me..What I would do is ask around to some of the guy's he's worked with...and see what the word of mouth has to say...shooting skip..up on web site's ...I'm sure you would find his customers...But wait that's Old School too..that might not work for you

[torch39]

Man! He looked like a Cat at the end of a shotgun!

[zeekzilch]

@torch39

I'm not sure what you mean? He looked okay to me!

But, I just drove through Walsenberg again (mid June, 2011) and didn't see him there this time...

[TheZeke1974]

@zeekzilch Like a deer in the headlights...

[zeekzilch]

@TheZeke1974

He looked pretty relaxed to me - drinking a Coke and leaning back while I bugged him with questions!

[royalbrainwave]

That is an awesome radio repair shack. Love the alternator with gas engine charging system.

[zeekzilch]

@royalbrainwave

Yep, I think it's pretty interesting shop he's got there!

[travelodian]

Dr. Duck is a very good person. I know him personally. There are still a few mobile cb shops around our country. Many do very good work. Do not judge a book by it's cover. Sometimes small businesses would rather concentrate on the quality of their work rather than the large overhead that comes with a large shop and curb appeal.

[zeekzilch]

@travelodian

I agree with your explanation about a small business engaged in quality work - thanks!

[rick123579]

it looks to be a great radio shack .for truck drivers who need repairs,tune ups etc.

[zeekzilch]

@rick123579

Yep, looked like a great idea to me, too!

[cabreradnvr]

I've met the " DR.", He's a good dude just try'in to get buy in this economy. He does Quality work and is the only tech within a hundred mile diameter of his 20. For all you Truck Drivers in need of a tech to get you back on the road Quickly It's the DR., That will get you rollin. "302 SIDEBUSTER" Denver CO. Oh yeah, He's located in Walsenberg CO, at the watering hole.

[zeekzilch]

@cabreradnvr

Thanks for the info - the DR seemed like a great guy to me, as well!

[mrbreeze732]

That was scary. Was that on our planet? They have not gone to that bathroom in 15 years

[EmpireLS56KW]

The Cobra 148 GTL-DX needs Snake medicine.

[zeekzilch]

@EmpireLS56KW

I heard that the GTL-DX is an all time classic!

[EmpireLS56KW]

@zeekzilch You head right about the Cobra 148 GTL-DX that it is a classic that it is.

[EmpireLS56KW]

You need a Rig Doctor to keep the ole Rig going!

[TheZeke1974]

This is a hoot!!! A mobile CB hack shack.....

[zeekzilch]

@TheZeke1974

Yep, I found it to be pretty darn interesting myself!

[infowarguy]

I wonder if he cuts diodes, resistors, caps.

[29pu04]

is he paying his taxes i guess not he was upset about that video lets see if the goverment catch up with him

[zeekzilch]

@29pu04

I have no idea what his personal tax situation is. My guess is that this business' income is relatively low compared to expenses but that's just a guess!

[minimaluhftv]

Cb "11meters" is alive people it never died. Here in Miami we have a great radio repair guy he does all ham gear and of course CBs. He enjoys working on CBs though.

If you want his contact info drop me a message and I'll send it to you.

[cleanrf]

Oh my, another rolling radios CB shop. A legend in his own mind with a set of lips that keeps everyone coming his way.

[zeekzilch]

@cleanrf

It appeared to be an honest operation to me!

[jonindiana]

This is to funny.First off the guy is using a Dozy Meter.How about a Signal Generator,a Bird Meter,inventory of parts,and a good 100MHZ Scope?Come on dont play CB Repair with stuff a 13 year old kid would have.

[zeekzilch]

@jonindiana

I don't think everything he uses in his shop is visible in this video.

[K9FON]

AHAHAHA!!! thats funny! A CB shop on wheels. LOL. The owner looks and acts rather sheepish about being recorded on camera. Hes proabaly ashamed of his "shop", LOL

[zeekzilch]

@K9FON

I think he was mostly annoyed that I interupted what he was doing...

[nimbledagreat]

Wow lol

[dorslv]

Another CB radio CHOP SHOP!!!!!

[tonyvlx]

Lets see a video of your new shack.

[zeekzilch]

@tonyvlx

I'll try to video record his shack the next time I pass through southern Colorado. Right now I'm spending a ton of time in Western Colorado...

[zeekzilch]

@paddyotay

I agree!

[drduck101]

Got a new shack and set up solar panels.

I'm still in the same location.

Dr Duck.

[zeekzilch]

@drduck101

Excellent - I look forward to stopping by again later this year!

[radionut63]

5 stars from me, i think this is a wonderful idea! I have never EVER seen a repair shop on wheels like that, pure genuis! Way to go guys!

[zeekzilch]

@radionut63

Seems like a great idea to me, too!

[Froggy19510]

Today Colorado Springs CO. Tomorrow Las Cruses NM. We rip off the other guy and pass the savings on to you.

[M70ACARRY]

I think he was ashamed of his shack.

[VictoreCelia]

cool

[OH2FFY]

He didn't seem very interested at all., and it wasn't like he was under the hammer with lots of jobs to complete on his bench.

gW:-) OH2FFY

[zeekzilch]

I agree - he didn't seem too interested but he did give me permission, a few minutes earlier, to record this video. - WBØJNR
