Palomar 300a amplifier
- Thread starter Tweetybird
- Start date
Those are the values called out in the schematic. They will work fine.
Mine were replaced by the previous owner of the amp. They are radial capacitors and are 120uF @450v.He was "inventive" about getting them mounted physically.
The picture below is from Nomadradio's post in my 300A "rehab" thread. This would be the only solution I would consider if the relays are bad.
If either or both of the white-plastic "R50" relays has gone bad, we have a drop-in solution for that one.

I have 18 guage 600v 150c braided wire. would this be suitable for the old 22 guage replacement? I have the teflon coax and will order the coax connector on the back.this is fun
I don't see any reason that wouldn't work. I used what I had on hand.
It kept my costs down.

Doubtful you will find those relays new.
A suitable used??? They are too difficult to remove and replace just to "try out" somebody's junk parts.
My opinion is Nomadradio's replacement is a best bet.

This is a repair/modification that I did on a Palomar 100 amplifier last year to replace the same relay you are referring to........
It is the small relay ...... Worked perfectly .....
I did find new ones. One amp I dont know nomads replacement relay number
.. do you hard wire a dpdt relay in ? I thought the original ones are better if new ? If they are I will buy three more.for the skippers
Thanks for helping out .an overhaul is way better than trying to find out what's wrong with a fifty year old amp.
Certainly more than one way to skin a cat, or to replace an out-of-date relay type.
Our method is just the least labor intensive, IMHO.

Buying two in one purchase is slightly cheaper. http://www.ebay.com/itm/113755358802?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
