    What electronics have YOU fixed lately?

    Re-cap and re-meter a Royce 1-621 base 40 channel. Was given to me from a family member that cleaned out an old department store in my town. Wood case and chassis is in good shape. No rust. DK 4.5 watts and swing a huge 6! Only one problem.... the meter pegs right when keyed. I see no VR for...

    Astron SS-30 Switcher issue

    I have the same switcher here just with meters also. Got it new. Hash all over the place on my TS-570. Still have not investigated it yet but I went with a MFJ Mighty Lite switcher. No noise any where I can tune. I just need to modify the fan to run on a thermal switch as it runs all the time...

    President HR2510 false swr readings

    The 2510 would benefit from the glue removal inside and also a complete replacement of the all the electrolytic capacitors. These radios are getting to the vintage state. I would say the 2510 puts out more power on AM as to compared to the little P300. So... more power out =more power...

    Trc 431 issue

    I would bet some if not all electrolytic capacitors need replaced. Also possible the voltage regulator in the power supply section went south.

    What electronics have YOU fixed lately?

    I also have a Philly 148 that has glue. The glue looks like it has never seen heat or any signs of eating stuff up. Still a nice yellow mustard color. Unreal how "virgin" that radios is. And yes... I will remove said glue when I can get around to it.

    Damn Chop... good one there. I have 2 - 2510s that look similar. Gonna give it my college try before condemning. If no go, hopefully recoup by parting out on the bay maybe..?
