That's what I'm hoping. Going to get on that when I get home from work

No time for that yet! Lol still gotta figure out why close signals over drive the rx. I'm sure some of y'all could've had this thing going in no time, but it takes me a little bit. Thanks again for all the help

Forgot to mention, I got this radio back out the other night. The locals were dead so I needed amusement. I replaced every cap in the rig. The audio chip, voltage regulators. Well I was looking thru the board at a light, following traces. I know, cheating but it helps. I noticed a spot that I...

I forgot to repost, got the trimmer in and presto! Tunes like a champ. Wish I could find a different kind of tuner to use but it works great as it is. Thanks fellas

A question.. would this need to be built on a circuit board? Obviously to keep it neat. And I'm assuming you would connect to the incoming so-239 then the relay. It can't be that simple, I'm missing something..

For now I will leave that to more qualified hands. Screwing with my maco's is one thing. Screwing up a Heathkit is another lol

Yeah I didn't know if someone had a circuit that could be used in place of the foot pedal. Or if I could incorporate the pedal into my mic somehow. Keying a mic and remembering to mash a pedal is like rubbing my head and patting my stomach while chewing gum. I'm gonna forget to do it lol.

Yeah I've been researching online and found several of his products and mods for these amplifiers. I'm going to order one of the supply boards. I also saw mods like soft start and hard key?? Unsure of what those are. Thanks for the help!

The wife bought me a heathkit today for my birthday. The unit is in really good shape cosmetically. Still has a few original caps, some replaced. Someone put new 1/2 watt resistors in place of the 30k 7 watt, smh... and that board had been hot. I've seen replacement power supplies online, are...

That's exactly like mine, but have the white face. It's a strutter. I will say, after @nomadradio helped pinpoint this for me, replacing the coax in the amp is a good idea. I lost my drivers, high side, and couldn't figure out why. Nomad mentioned the coax gets really hot in that area...

I kinda figured that was the problem. It was all to pieces when I looked at the leaves in it. Now I have a really dumb question I'm sure. When I took it out last night, I looked over at a parts rig and took a air tuner out of it. Capatence was way lower but the tuning was so smooth. I can't find...

My Maverick has decided to acting up lately. The one of the load controls on the finals is an arco 304 compression trimmer. Lately, is decided to start arcing within itself. Between the plates on the trimmer. Just as I get it loaded for max smoke, it arcs and power drops out. Does it badly...

Yeah I'm following this one too. I've got a 250 that won't key up after replacing the keying tube with a known good dozen.

Mine did the same thing. When the preamp was engaged it kills rx. Nomad sent me a relay of his that should've worked to fix the older relays but apparently mine is dead. I've replaced the transistors, diodes and caps on that board as well. I don't really need the preamp, my Dwight and Cobra 1000...

i like my 300a for the same reason. very easy to tune and has great audio with my cobra 1000. even with the high side out, it still does well.

$40 for shipping??? thats just ludicrous!

Well just put in 8 strong 6LB6's in and it does the same thing. Time to flip it back over I guess

I will gladly buy a couple of them. How do you want the money? Also, I forgot to mention in the last reply, once I got it keyed up and went to tune the amp, I had zero output. No biggie, didn't figure the tubes were any good. I put two strong 6LB6's in for the drivers and was about to start...

Well it's not just a matter of paint. They took and cut the sides off and put new sides on that are louvered. Just looks nasty the way it's done. Since posting this, I bought another 750 for parts. Has potential to be restored for sure. But it's gonna be a parts rig. Has good tuners...

That's my favorite chassis to mess with, I own probably 20 939-959 radios. I used to do the npc on all of them. I've opted now for the speech compressor from top gun. To my ear, it sounds better and has more punch than the npc. I still take r264 out and replace with a diode, but to my ear, the...
