I cant edit those, I'l have to leave them, here's a short video from earlier today.

I'll have to edit those other posts later....

I'll have to share media later, I'm in a spot with poor internet connectivity right now...

Check it out, I wound my 1st variable indicator. Thanks for the inspiration. I tried to get everything I described above in pictures. "Reader glasses" ...check, "Fat arthritic fingers" ...check, "Harbor freight,cheap ass magnifier lamp" ...check.... I was so exited I made a quick video of...

I have enough old junk that I can't find parts for, but that Stalker-1 in the pile makes this lot tempting. I'm just not keen on flopping down 200 bucks.... Especially for more stuff, the likes of which I'm supposed to be trying to get rid of.... Not mine, https://ebay.io/m/Eew96H

I think the "3.5" in the schematic would be the uH value. I'm not sure if that is from 1 to 3 or from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 ??

Hi Brandon, I gave it a whirl. My fat arthritic fingers and eyes straining with reader glasses through a Harbor Freight lighted magnifier did their best. I had it working until it stopped & I had to press sideways on it to make it work. I pulled it back out and reheated the connections at the...

I found that a Royce 1-632 will also share this same board...

I wanted to check if anyone had a "parts" or "Broken" Royce 1-641. I destroyed T8 in an ongoing attempt trying to extract a seized and broken cup slug. :sick: (A slip with a sharp tool, opend the winding) :mad: T8 and T9 are the same. I cant find a "positive" match online anywhere. Has ETC...

In another post I found the 5555n2 service menu, It was a great help having something to reference. Using that other post, knowing that each S unit is 6 Db away from the next and that S9 should be -73 Db. Chanels 40 to 45 are the AM and FM settings and 46 to 51 are for SSB. I used unmodulated FM...

Cool highway cruise song. I remember UFO would play super loud and clean on anything. I might have pirate shared this one before, If so.... Here it is again:LOL:

Personal mini repeater at one of the tops of the valley? ... Keeping consistant power to it, and the amplifier would be the tough part. Plus it's possibly on someone elses property, so...... I always wondered if a "passive repeater" or some type of reflector could help in these situations...

We all need more Motorhead:

This gave me an idea of who the last owner was. It was covered with duct tape. Did he use a fireplace poker for the conversion? All that's needed is grounding the top pad. I removed all the "whatever that was" and had to ground the pad at the beginning of it's trace, because the pads were gone...

Thats for the V1 models with internal adjustments. There is still good info in there though.
