There are bogus Amphenol connectors out there so be careful. If the barrel is crosshatched but smooth its not right. It will fit most so239's but there are some it will not tighten down on. The problems ive had are with the Silver plated model number 083-1sp-1050 connector fitting on some export...

Hopper has a good rep from what ive seen. Id feel pretty confident hes doing what he should. Man, a 32 pill is just a lot of hg's to try and make happy lol. Ive cut myself off transistor amps at 16. If i want more I'll spring for tubes simply because its less parts to fail.

I too hope they get your amp straightened out soon but 4 weeks and still checking it out? Not knowing who the builder is i have to ask if he has a supply big enough to fully test a 32 pill? I personally wouldnt want an hg pill amp bigger than a 2x8. I just dont believe the the pills workmanship...

Another issue no one brought up. Rule of thumb is 50 amps of supply for each 2 pill section. To run the amp and the 98vhp you should have a 250 amp supply or bigger.

Your problem probably lies within your service and your 100' cord. How many amps is the breaker for that circuit? How many other appliances are using that circuit? 100' cord is just bad news. Your outlet needs to be within the supplys cord length, no extentions. Your supply really needs a...

Meh, dont hate the guy cuz he's getting his prices. Hate the douchebag willing to pay that price. Ive done similar with radios on ebunk. My grandmother was a fairly accomplished author and im now collecting one of her 4 book series. A lady on amazon has a copy of one of them for $49 plus...

Ive been buying stuff with toshibas in them...

Yep, very late though it never hurts to ask. The antenna specialists models generally don't last long. Your best bet is to set search alerts on ebay and be ready to pay.

If needed i have a parts radio that worked fine, it just had an led out on the channel selector. Let me know if i can be of help.

I lived 2 miles from kens for 20+ years. Kens is one of the reasons i got into radio. Hes definitely a pack rat and throws absolutely nothing away. His shop back in the day was so packed full of stuff you could hardly move around. If you needed something obscure you could bet ken would have at...

I have a feeling that the only cord you're going to find will be a 2 hole plug that fits the 2 ac pins with the 3/8" spread as described at Kens. I dont believe youll find that 5 pin plug unless someone here has one squirreled away. In any case call Ken and he'll know what will work.

Heres what i found at kens http://www.kenselectronics.com/lists/pwrcord.htm CEA-CRST-AC fits Hitachi-5: Cobra 85, 86XLR, 135, 135XLR, Sears 562.3820700, Penney, RCA, Zenith

Bob and Tom was a great morning radio show. They would keep me laughing from Kalamazoo to Chicago all week long. The list of skits is endless. 9/11 screwed all that up.

Im gonna leave this here

Here is what i found and where i found it: CAM 89: Modulation - Add a 1k resister in series with C110 AM Power L13 L12 L9 https://www.qsl.net/k1usb/tune_up.html

First, welcome to the forum. I have to agree with Nomad. That radio is 50 years old and will need a total refurb to be an everyday driver. If you're looking for more power think about connex, galaxy, stryker or ranger. My pick today would be stryker but that's just my opinion. This is not a...

Not meaning to hijack Mr Malones thread so do you have any use for a sine wave generator?

153 mudduck radio... He had nothing but good to say about my d-rail 955 until I told him what it was and then plugged his ears with it until he changed channels...

I generally dont scan docs like this. Usually what i do is take pics of the relevant pages or sections and post the pics. They're usually of high enough quality for folks to see to make their repairs. Thanks for sharing your collection.

The problems arent the builders. The problem is there's more than one way to build transistor amps and most builders /repair people dont agree. The other issue is the rf devices builders have to work with today. They suck compared to the old Toshibas. Stay with hg and screw dei. If i were to...
