Lafayette Dyna-com 23 schematic


Can't remember if that's the one with plastic screws holding down the two audio-power transistors. We adopted the habit of putting a 1N4001 rectifier diode in parallel with the thermistor "TH" in the schematic. The cathode of the diode goes to ground. Found that this prevents the audio transistors from overheating and melting the plastic screws. The transistor pulls away from the heat sink and thermal runaway follows immediately. Another good reason to make sure you have the right size fuse on these old radios.

Dan: I just bought a Dyna-Com 23 and I should have it a few weeks. If there are other pages in the document you have, would you be able to post them if its not too much trouble ?
Sincerely

Dan: thank you very much for posting the pdf of the remainder of the info on the Dyna-Com 23. I hope the odd ball final transistors are good, 2SCF6 and 2SCF8. Never came across JP transistors with such a short number.
