Pearce Simpson Simba SSB 23 Channel

Ranch55,
With any luck, one of those out of spec caps was causing the issue.
Only time will tell.

Merry Christmas!

Well okay, the owner has the Simba SSB back at his home for a couple of days now.
He says the radio is operating better than ever since he has owned it.
I hope that replacing the mechanical relay, relay socket, and all 34 of the electrolytic capacitors cures the intermittent problem he experiences with the DC power fuse blowing. ( that issue never happened while on my bench)
I operated it for a week on my bench with no issues at all. Talked local and DX on it.
I really do not ever want to see that radio again.
