what amp is this

need help finding parts?

OK I have determind it is a pal321... I need to find the transmit parts, I think they are the ones that have the check mark by them.. I cant find a 22uhy and a 10 pf. the cap is the green type not a disk.. I accidently on the 4148 crossed solder from ground to the Emiter on the 2905 and when I switched it to Operate it keyed, but didnt unkey so that told me the relay is good. it just wont key up after I fixed the short. I replaced so far the 2905 and both 4148's and I put in 4002's wher it shows 4001. I have no idea where the 4005's are?

need complete board?

I need the small board in this amp, I brought it to a tech here and he messed up a few traces, it stopped tx and rec, and he couldnt find a schematic and there for gave up on it, anyone have one of these amps that has other problems that tx, and would like to get rid if it, Please let me know or if anyone can rebuilt this board let me know, was told a foot switch would work and is a easy fix, but I would like it to work correctly!

I was told this was the skipper 300, but it is not! the skipper has 3 relays and this one has 2. and this one has the 6LX6 tubes in it. It says SCP and I cant find any info .. it has stopped keying up and I feel it is to do with the 2 relays on that small board.

here are what pics I have

I also have a Palomar 321. Most recently I came across what appears to be the same amp marked SCP. Where my front panel is tan and my meter has teeth on the scale. Finally my 321 uses 2057's. Very confused. The guts as well as the cover and the rear panel are IDENTICAL. I saw this SCP sell for over $400.00 on E bay with 43 bidders. Cannot find any documentation on mine. Was Palomar bought over or merged with SCP or vice-versa ?

I have a Palomar 321. Another curve ball. Mine uses 2057's. I recently found on e-bay a Palomar SCP forsale This except for the front panel color Mine tan the SCP white, the meter mine has teeth getting wider as it ascends the SCP has numbers, and the SCP logo. (SCP Stam COMM product) the amp is identical. The GUTS are identical as well as the cover and the rear panel... all the same. Why the mystery ? Was Palomar bought over by SCP or was there a merge or vice-versa. Also the SCP I saw on e bay uses 6LF6's. Why the differences does anyone know? Finally, cannot find any documentation on it. Sorry to go on. Just confused !

Best,

When these amps were produced, it was very common for them to switch tubes.
They just configured the amps to whatever tubes were CHEAPEST and most available.
Many diagrams simply do not exist, as they were never produced.
That was the way the market at that time was operated.
Crank'um out CHEAP and FAST!
One must also remember they were dodging FCC regulations on the production of ANY brand of amps that would operate on the CB Band as it was, and still is illegal by FCC rules.
Therefore it was not uncommon to produce a group of amps under many various nameplates,(still true today) to try to hide who the actual producer was.

Ok so from what I found this amp is from the late 1960's, fairly early in palomars tube amp production so you may not find any info. Best bet is to buy a parts unit on ebunk and replace the board. I would suggest finding someone who can disassemble the box and make a complete schematic.
