I picked up a Kenrich Eagle 200 today for free and was tuning it in when it went all smoking. Filled the garage with stink. I don't know what blew, but . . .
Then I was listening to DX on 27.385 LSB on a Siltronix 1011D Comanche, had made a few contacts with it, and was working in the garage when it went dead. Blew the fuse on the back, a 4 amp. Put in a 5 amp. Blew it. Put in a 10 amp, it made a buzzing sound and smoked something in the transceiver. Lights out, a little puff of smoke and I wasn't even keying it.
I am thinking that old tube stuff really hates me.
I picked up the old O- 12 Heathkit oscilloscope at a yard sale for $2. Don't know if it works.
