Motorola MX-300S PTT Rubber Covers Part#: 3205427C04
« on: January 23, 2023, 12:34:33 PM »

I used to have a large number of old MX-300S Radios and now down to a few dozen that all function but with everything, time had taken it's toll on the rubber parts and I hate to scrap them. I would like to find some Rubber PTT Pads or Covers (Motorola 3205427C04 PTT BOOT SWITCH). If anyone knows where to find then that would be good. I had a friend create a Solidworks STL of the components which are three but the dimensions are incorrect and made of hard plastic not rubber. I am hesitant to move forward as manufaturing them might be prohibitive costwise. It may be time for the Boneyard unless you guys have any input! Thanks...

NOS parts are going to be just as bad.  I found a box of brand new in the box antenna connectors for XTL5000s to connect to XTVAs.  All the plastic crumbled right off when I touched them.

I think you are right! If the radios are kept in a cool dry climate controlled area they last a while. In my garage in the heat and humidity maybe one year at best...
