ice and high winds together can be deadly to any antenna no matter how well made.had a v58 here when the halloween ice storm hit in ohio. it killed many antennas around me. the v58 was unharmed along with super penetraters at several neighbors. several antron 99's lost their top sections and...

got one here i dont need.was going to mod for 10m. it needs a speaker,mic,and power cord. tested to tx and rx.has upper and lower switch mods. $50 plus actual shipping. looks fair.

better into a cheap cb antenna to ground than through the house!

you certainly will not make friends with that thing. and i would not leave any vintage gear run unatended standby or not. knew someone who left an old d&a amp on and the transformer flamed out while he was away.about $5000 in smoke damage!even if it does no damage it still stinks.i opened up a...

i wrung off the bolt that holds the bottom tube.guy wanted the mini8 that was attached.so the connector section is now loose.i can post pics for the curious ones here.

chinese tubes are iffy at best and glass encased firecrackers at worst. bet you got a bum tube.had an 811h here i got in a deal where the p.o heard intermittant "ticking" then BANG! had some good used cetron 572b i put in it.no it does not do any more than 811's but the tubes are not going to...

first of all its heater-cathode leakage you want to check for not cathode-grid. too bad you are not near dayton oh. i would check em free on like a saturday when we usually are not busy. i thought of another possibility.as much as folks mess with the insides of radio's you could have a lead...

time to report to the fcc....

i was not going to cut just telescope the section to shorten. got to find my aluminum welding rod and fix the hoop.its been creased and cracked. otherwise attack with brillo pads and install.or maybe swap it off for something i need and let it go into the hands of a cb enthuesiest. i did upset a...

yes but looking at the schematic from cbtricks v12 is more likely. btw i had several of these rigs when i was 12 or so.seems at least one was given up for dead due to hum.got them dirt cheap and fixed them.i remember these had a much better reciever than any ss units of the time.

phillips 55" 1080p plasma. blankets hf with s9 hash.its mine so its off if i work hf.the pioneer is a better set and no rfi.

buying discontinued parts on ebay is a crapshoot at best. as soon as i read this i thought counterfiets.

been like 30 years since i have seen one of these. got it from a local ham for putting led's in his 220 rig. going to shorten it for 10m. any known problems? looks like there is little to fail.

a lot of the audio chain is used in both.the amplifier is the modulator.

check tubes on a good checker looking specificly for heater-cathode short/leakage. tap on the tube as it warms up.or substitute others that are fine in another set. fixed an old yellow machine for a neighbor that had been humming in rx and tx for many years.tech at the truckstop replaced every...

could be a leaky am regulator.

h-k leakage in one of the audio tubes.

a good one i remember back in the day was "doubling your modulation with an audio king antenna" these had a clear loading coil housing filled with oil. despite the claims none could beat the 1/4 wave steel whip on my pickup.. i told one of the idiots that the claim was B.S unless the modulator...

might want to move this to cb. it is a cb amp.i would offer it up to a cb gear collector.its a splatterbox.

it may be a hustler. screw it into a 3/8-24 mount and sweep it with a mfj-259 analyser. at least thats what i would do.
