Maybe some greybeards on here remember when choke input power supplies were the norm. Every amplifier had them. The wisdom that was preached is that they offer better regulation. I worked on plenty of amplifiers with them both large and small. The largest supply I've ever used with a choke input...

I provide a manual for my amplifiers. But I'm definitely in the minority.

This is why i cant find the heart to work on these things. I think it's absolutely amazing that guys are out there keeping all these old amplifiers running, but I will say that it's definitely a labor of love.

Use a footpedal.

Here is his "current" flyer if anyone is interested. It takes me back to a time before I was around to remember it.

Well, im not saying that one way or the other. They tune, they work, they are safe with big watts. I am happy he still is around. Its cool because hes been doing this for decades and hes a piece of the old school.

Hey everyone. I was able to answer my own question through a friend of mine. He's really old now and he's still kicking but he hasn't been building a lot. But if anybody needs his stuff he still got stuff. I'm glad to see another person didn't get claimed by time. His number is 1 (716)...

Anyone know if Lee is still in business/ building antennas?

Why mess with it?

Maco v5000, shockwave, colossal, mr coily, or any metal sirio antenna

There are alot of ideas here ad none of them good. Alot of bad information from people who are poking their chests out acting smart. A single antenna that is not loaded with a shunt to ground especially in the middle of a roof will always tune to about 1.6-1.3:1 usually around 37 ohms. Move...

Someone was at bullets house

On broadbanded solid state type amplifiers yes.

Please take my money.. lol

I was told a story about a Cobra 29, you were able to broadcast on every channel simultaneously. It's just a goof. Is it as simple as making the pll unlock? Will the radio still function on receive? How would one modify a Cobra 29 to do this?

People obsess about the color of their plates in the tubes. There's nothing wrong with the tube getting red it's supposed to. Its when they get white you need to worry

Ah shit. I liked him

usually when guys lose a tube that diode pops. usually explodes actually. Ive replaced a few myself. that and a new set of tubes fixes most of them. assuming ameritron actually soldered all the other stuff..
