    Blue"palomar"skipper 2 transistor amplifier Low output

    So i have a blue"palomar" skipper 2 transistor amp that is very low on output. Starting on low.med,high to max it goes from 10w to 20,30,40 and max out about 50w. When testing it SWR was good and it did not get unusually hot, and both transistors got warm. At first i thought maybe one of the two...

    Looking to modify a relay for D&A

    Hello. I am looking to replace a hard to find relay. The correct relay is a Potter & Brumfield KA14AY Relay 12volt a/c. The problem is hey are crazy expensive. However i can find a Ka14ay 6volt a/c version so my question is can i just put a resistor inline to make it work in place of the 12v a/c...

    Lost a legend- Vin Scully- RIP

    I spent my first 19 years in the SFV and grew up listening to the nightly games on KFI640, On my little blue Admiral tube radio. Vin was the man along with Farmer John hot dogs, Walter Alston, Wes Parker, Don Drysdale, Jim Lefebvre And so so many more of my childhood hero's. What a sad sad day.

    Resistor in D104 mic

    Ok so i dug out one of my old D104 amplified mics and it seemed to burn thru 9v batteries rather faster than i remembered, So i noticed i had a 1/2watt 47k in it, so i thought i would swap it out for a 1/4watt 33k as i was out of 47k's and it seems to work fine. Is there any reason that it is a...

    Am-Comm Penetrator 1000 Base Linear Amplifier

    Well that could be, but that amp cant do 600 by itself. many people use a smaller amp to drive a larger amp.

    Am-Comm Penetrator 1000 Base Linear Amplifier

    Thats almost funny! Please do not belive some of the stuff you read on ebay,'Even more from people trying to sell things. 100 watts sounds about right drive it with 30 and bad things will happen.

    A couple of questions on Transistor amplifiers

    Well there was 2 caps that got so hot they melted the solder and fell off. They are ok test wise, I just wanted a find a schematic for it or one that is using the same design. It looks like one i have seen before but I do not have to have it as its pretty much a simple design. I just like to...
