I keep hearing about people puting in the "C" versions to get more power and they keep blowing them. The standards you can get away in most of the time just replacing the Toshibas but not with the C versions they are a totally different item.

The problem i see is that the case is 3D printed and its not a good job. back maybe my first month using my printer it had lines like that but to me i would not sell a print job like that until i learned how to print with out the lines like that OR fine sand them out which is not very hard.

As with most projects I have not gotten around to putting a power supply together and do some testing. I will post results at that. Time. Of course life does get in the way of hobbies.

And it works well doing this!

First thing is the Raiders "normally" do not use 6LQ6 tubes, They normally do not have tubes that use plate caps on top. they normally use 6JR6,6JG6,6JT6 tubes or similar. I have seen a few that have been modified to use 6LQ6 or 6KM6 tubes but none of the half dozen that i have had came with...

I will do that soon. First i am replacing the OLD electrolytic capacitors before i fire it up!

And here today 2/23/2024 i just unboxed a belive it or not a NOS Sonar BR21. Its crazy its close to pristine.

Question, Is there ANYWHERE that i can confirm that these transformers are 100 amps? I was able to find some but would like to verify the amperage. Anyone have any links to verify?

FYI if you look a the date you might notice the post is 7 plus years old.

I have and use once in a while a Regency Imperial and a Imperial 2 both have DSB and they do work and sound great. I have heard how they sound, I do enjoy my fetish for old tube gear

Still hoping that you can post a picture of the single tube and the double tube so I can tell between them.

FYI Icom Inc. announces that the IC-PW2 Japan version has been shipped from the factory. The IC-PW2 USA and EUR versions will be released around Spring 2024.

Thank you very much for the explanation! I have run this original Avanti Astroplane for the last 8 years. I bought it new and for me it has worked amazingly. I was looking for the patent for the Astrobeam hoping to find enough details so that i might try to build my own.

Probably a dumb answer but if you have the correct Ham ticket use it on 6 meters?

Hello I have a question that i noticed in the original patent for the Avanti Astroplane. On Page 6 under section 10 which i highlighted in blue it talks about efficiency. My question for those who understand the details about how antenna theory is By removing the top hat does that make antenna...

Hello I am trying to help a friend, I know i read a post a maybe a month ago about how to release a tunable core that is stuck. We know how easy they snap and he is restoring a FT101EX not that the radio is relevant. SO if anyone can help with the best way to get this loose please respond and...

So friends and my wife think i am crazy, I have been looking for 8950's and 6LQ6's and a few others for the last ten years or so. I have 24 of each enough that will last my lifetime and more for my collection of sweep tube amps that i have and keep on buying. It is a bad? habit that i have from...
