Also Marconi I have read the manual numerous times and checked the measurements more times than I can count and also the continuity and it all checks out per the book.

    Who is the expert around here on theses? I had this one up a few years ago and dropped it adjusting on it and broke a few pieces. I got the bright idea a few weeks ago to resurrect it and I remember why I was glad to take it down before. Thing is a pain in the butt to tune, can it be...

    Pulled the Sb525 out and if I am testing it right it shows bad, so where is the best place to get one or the substitutes of 2sb809,bc327,bc328,bc666,bc638? Dont really want to make a $25 order or deal with the ebay clowns for a $2 part. Thanks, Greg

    President AX-144

    Yes it is marked but TR44 is not marked TR42,43, and 45 are all right there. Guess thats why I was having trouble finding it. I really appreciate the help.

    Just looked at the AR144 I am using for reference and it has the 1012 in the spot mine has the 2245.

    President AX-144

    I cant find a 1012, just the 473 right next to upc1182h

    President AX-144

    Well changed out 473 and still no AM audio.
  16. RT2020

    President AX-144

    Yeah I was looking at the wrong transistor, I found the right one now it is 473. I am gonna take one out of the working AR144 and put it in mine to see if it works, I'll keep you posted. I guess the 1012 and the 473 are the same part?

    President AX-144

    OK TR44 has roughly 13 volts on all 3 legs TX and RX. TR34 has about 12.5 volts on the middle leg and 1.0 volt on one outside leg and 1.6 on the other TX and RX. That tell us anything? TR34 bad
