i can relate! Good luck in your search for a good tech. 73, Brett

That's a REALLY nice old rig. I knew a guy back in the day, friend of my Dad's that ran one with a Big Bertha or Big Momma (can't remember which, but I think it was an Avanti base load antenna) and Penatrator amp. My Dad had an amp just like it, kind of a Petty blue with a remote control head...

I have an LDG Z-11 Pro that I've owned for about 10 years, and now pair it with my FT-891.. Yes, a bit noisy, but it does have a bazillion memories and seems to be bullet proof. I also have a Palstar AT2K, and love it. I have a cheat sheet that I have the positions for different...

Couple more inside pics..

I used to have one that came in a much bigger rectangular box with power supply bit it poofed on me. Couldn't remember on the tuning part. I have no idea if this is ab biased or not, as I read the later models were. Thanks for your input, much appreciated! 73, Brett Also the old one...I...

Hey everyone, Looking for a user manual on this old amp I bought years ago. Found some stuff on CB tricks, but not what I need. I vaguely remember there being something about tuning it internally, and seems like it said it had filtering for 10, 15, and 20 meters, but I could totally be off...

Yes, we figured that out. My contact kept saying the owner was a ham ip, so he thought it was for ham radio. Probably could have converted it into something I could use, but the elements were that old split type, and not a very heavy duty boom, either. Oh well, you never know what you...

Haven't gotten to see it in person, just have the picture. Hopefully will get over to see it tomorrow or next week.

Well, I saw the twinlead, but as big as it is was thinking 6 meters, which I think is close to where channel 2 was. That's kind of a bummer. Lol

Hey guys, I met a guy this morning that said he had an antenna he wanted to get rid of. I didn't see it in.person, but he sent me this pic. Anybody recognize what it is?

I always thought SBE rigs were really cool. Hope you get this one going. Isn't this the big base station with wood case, tons of switches, and knobs, and LED's over every switch? Seems like I remember drooling over it in one of my S9 magazines back in the day. Pictures? 73, Brett

Some Icom rigs use an electret mic circuit, and the impedence gets a bit wonky with certain mics. I would check that.

I was NOT happy when I rented one one time. Couldn't mount my mag mount for a road trip. 73, Brett

Very common with that rig. Worth fixing though.

There was a guy south of Dallas that was authorized. Apex?

Icom lists the HM44 with that rig as an accessory on the website products. I'll be darned if I can find anything on that mic's wiring, though. https://www.qsl.net/icom/download/mic_ref.pdf 73, Brett

In this age of 3d printing, you'd think somebody would make a big batch of these. I need a couple of buttons for my old President Lincoln. Good luck, Brett

If I remember right, he had a real motor with chain drive at the base. 73, Brett

Was it Triple 9?
