Blackcat630, is that an 8100R below that Kenwood???

I had a 5010 at one time and I kinda liked it. It held up decent in my 1st truck and talked well. Heck... I even had the 3010 version. Like, 20 yrs ago. HATED that rig. Sent it to Solder Joint in Cali for an oscillation repair in the RX audio. Never was fixed. CPU clock speed noise I was told...

I agree over priced for what it is. I have no intentions of buying one as I have plenty of gear that can lay it to waste! Just caught my eye and wanted to hear others take on it. I didn't even know it was that old of a rig! LOL

Yup. Strip it all off and on with the Kester no clean.

I loathe lead free.... wretched scum... Hahaha

Good to hear you got it going! Cherish them easy fixes for sure!

Maybe give that 455 filter a tap on top with a capped pen. Not very common failure point but I have seen it.

I too remember the days of 5-20 watts barefoot with my Imax omni hitting South America and such..... sigh....

I snagged a lightly used Pelican from garage sale. Use it for my electronics repair to go kit and occasional step stool! LOL

I really wish The Chipswitch was still available .....

Good looking girl for sure but like nomad said.... age of the internal components. I would pop the hood and look for any electrolytic caps and such. Maybe pull 1 out and throw it on a component tester to see if the value has degraded. May be other parts in there that time is unkind to. I had 1...

May have some chassis buzz on start up! LOL

Hey I have seen those....not in person tho. Nitro Knobs.... Nitro Knobs... we don't need no stinking Nitro Knobs!!! We got Nitro Face!!!

Hahhaha... I don't think so anyway but sorry if it is! I should not condemn so quickly but I am kinda OCD about things looking and being "tidy". Even if I or anybody else can't see it. It's not like this was a quick fix on the fly to get by......

SMT echo in that box maybe???

View at your own risk...

Hi fellas. Check VR1 with a meter and make sure it changes in a smooth linear fashion. I had a 29LX that had no rx with static only and that crap plastic VR was bad. I didn't have a replacement on hand so I measured a known good VR in another LX and just used regular resistors in the range I...

I have fixed several 88's with the long box by recapping the counter board and moving the PCB ground wire from the box to the rear of the main PCB.

Slowmover, I think I will just rent out the HAARP complex! A few million watts can't hurt!
