148 GTL
OK I put the jumper on pins 2+4 and it seems ok now, BUT on a radio check my friend said it sounded fuzzy, I think I found out why,,, transistors 24 + 26 are gone, resistors 130 + 131 are gone. and a wire from r130 the long leg side to vr 10, I have no Idea what that did...
TX EIGHT HUNDRED
Thanks for that info, I tried a lot of searches with no luck, there is no real tech around me within 200 miles or better, and they are not true techs just golden screwdriver turners like copper and H&Y techs. I will keep searching tho! or just do one part at a time?
boomer
OK Thanks for the info, All! I just thought maybe there was something wrong. so all is good, and the amp works great now that the ps is all rebuilt with 7 new Tip35's 3 new 47000uf caps 1 new tip31 and a new low med hi power seitch and resistors..
I have this boomer 500 and it works fine, I just got done rebuilding the power supply side, and when I shut it off, and wait like a few min then turn it on, I have to hit the reset button all the time? now the person I got it from said he had to do the same thing? any one out here have one of...
TX EIGHT HUNDRED
OK so it would be the one farther back. both are 3904's but I tried changing to 2907's but no rec butthere was tx, then I switched them back and when I turn n rec the little relay clicks but no rec. there is 2 47 uf 25v caps there inthat area? 4 4148's also I replaces all 5...
I have this amp here, and I need to find out the pre amp section on it and what transistors are the correct ones for it, it transmits super, but no pre amp, here is some pictures ot it.
What are the Values of the 2 resistors ( Can be seen on bottom pic above for the Low MED High switch? they are brown and has IRC labled on them) I know they are 5% 2 watt. but need the ohms
Thanks, I wired up my silver eagle and it stopped doing it, so I sort of figured it had something to do with the mic since it had to be plugged in to rec, BUT, it didn't do it on my Uniden Washington 5 pin?
so you say just a jumper between those 2 pins?
Also, I had to remove a roger...
Here is a good one for you cobra guru's? When I turn the mic gain on the radio, it not only changes the mic gain, it changes tone out of my speaker? what could be wrong>?
TX EIGHT HUNDRED
Hello ALL, I see this is a old thread , but I figured I would try? Does anyone know what transistors are for the TX and pre amp. I need to get them back in mine, they were missing when I got it.
RGREAT
Thanks, That is exactly what I need.. I have no way in getting pics on my pc, from my cell phone. but wow, that is a resistor huh? color code , just brown.
Boomer Deluxe 500
I just got one of thes amps, and there is a componet on the power lever switch missing, Wrell I have it, but led broke off, it looks like it goes from the medium side of the switch then goed to the board. anyone know what it is? it looks like a load? non color coded...
A little UPDATE
I took the old washington out again and did a little more looking, now on the bottom Copper side of the board where Cap 179 belongs, the guy had it before me put in 2 4.7 caps in a series. ? can any one tell me maybe why this is done. and I need a pic on the bottom where...
Same amp
Hi, I just got one of these little amps, it all works somewhat, but I noticed the LOW/MED/HIGH switch does nothing, it stays the same output of about 115 watts on all settings?
Bad switch?
