I've found the easiest way to install the new face is. Hold it on the far left and right sides. Shoot for lining up the LED holes. Then the rest should fall in place. There is a little wiggle room on the switch holes. Due to the nuts. Also a light spray of water from an old Windex bottle will...

I've got what I call a pride puzzle! It was given to me by a good friend. And I'm really a fan of these dx300 amplifiers so I must bring it back to life! So far here is what it's missing or will need. Missing both transformers. Missing plate choke. Missing meter. Missing main relay socket on the...

He also has the stock replacement for the Al-1500 a little cheaper. But I wanted the black blower thought it looks better and more cooling. https://ebay.us/m/sTh5Aq

Nomad the blower is the upgrade for the Al-1500 ameritron . The best price I've found is From Tom at CTR Engineering. Here's his Ebay link. But I bought directly from his website. Same price but at least it saved him ebay fees. https://ebay.us/m/fWF3zF

Yes these smaller ones here fit radios with the 6pin white molex plug. With a little filing of the corners. https://a.co/d/9xKMYLp

Boy does this fan blow! At 56cfm it should keep the 8930 very cool. Got the new face vynle installed. This one got the bias adj on the front band switch. Someone had removed the band switch. I prefer it on the back as I set it and forget it! Notice the extra board in the bottom. Installed...

I use alot of these. https://a.co/d/3awIX6a

I believe that is what some call a Chestnut. Seen some called a farmer John

Got the new blower mounted. Took some nibbling to make a square hole. I really hate to do this but in the end it won't be seen and will be a big improvement in keeping the new 8930 tube cool. Used a sheet of 1/16" virgin teflon as a gasket and to cover the original hole. No need to seal the...

Did they do the full mod on the channels on yours? My friends radio acts just like you described. But his only had half the channels. Had no lower channels!

I've used this same dayton blower over the years. I'm sure i first heard about it from you on wwdx. Takes care of the noisy blower problems. Just doesn't push enough air for me. I get long winded. May have to order the one I posted above and see how it works out. Too bad I couldn't find a...

About to bring some new life into a couple old Pride Dx-300. Love them Nomad boards! Just wondering if anyone has tried to use a blower like used in the larger Ameritron amplifiers in a Dx300. Looking at the size in the diagram it might just be able to be made to work. 35cfm is better then the...

How's the AM swing from a low carrier?

Rick the guy has it listed on Craigslist now. https://stockton.craigslist.org/ele/d/tracy-glen-11-meter-linear-amplifier/7693177325.html

Wow my old thread from years back. I wish I would have never sold that old glen renegade 2k. Oh well I now own two glen custom 2400b amps. But boy oh boy that Renegade would look nice next to them.
