Ha guys Thanks for the info and the help.Learned a lot from this post. I have updated the doides and replaced caps.Also the filament mod. added the risistor to the keying circuit.Much happier machine.Someone had put in 26lx6 for the two driver tubes.Onlything left is todo is find the needle in...

I am very pleased this post is still available.I have had my Eagle 500 for almost a year.I run it every day.Had a problem with the keying transister,so far that is fixed.Going to do the resister mid on that.Then my driver tubes were cherrying.That is when i came across the diode.Just trying to...

The pen is pointing the two in question.Yes they have been replaced before.I do know these two have to do with bias.

I have a 1978 Eagle 500. On the power board there are 2 dides psition d2 and d3 .They look different but the schematic says they are both icc 170.Is this the correct numbers for those positions?Thank you for your help

Well changed the caps and diodes.Still has a dip about 3 seconds into the key.Caps are not heating up.I tried.

I have replaced the tubes in this unit with nos tubes.pep 450 to 475.Helped there but still dips.Still has original caps in it.Could the older caps be causing it to sag and come back up after a couple on seconds?

You are the man.Thank you Jeff.73s

Would anyone happen to have a wiring diagram for this unit?

I am running the old girl with a Bearcat ssb and a imax 2000.I get a lot of people saying it is loud and clear.I have poeple close that radio and they say it is clean.I have talked all over the Country and outside so i can not complain with the performance.

Do you have a price in mind?Would you happen to have any pics?Where are you located? Sorry for all of the questions but are a weighing factor.

Can relate to the analogy having been a auto and diesel mechanic for 45yrs.I do like my fingers and heartbeat.Plate tune is the same when it drops.A couple of tubes are very used and discolored.Capasitors are old and i am sure tired.It is operating good.Working on tube replacement and cap...

I have a old fiebird 500.Poid $100.00 for it.Works good pep about 375 with 3 watt dead key.When amp keyed it keys 150 when slumps off to 125 and slowly comes back.Tubes are not top shelf.Is it a tube issue or a capasitor issue.Trying to educate myself.I respect electricity and have proper toys...
