I wonder if it's the same guy, I think his cbtricks profile pic was a frog/bird thing. Message sent.

Is he here? I remember him from the cbtricks days, I remember him as the most helpful and a great member back then, very friendly and helped me out in the beginning. Sure would like to know he isn't SK. I hope he is well.

My nerd within just came unglued...

I like it... Sounds kinda like...

I did this, it's not a flasher. I think you guys have it figured out. Thanks.

I pried the cardboard out to reveal another cardboard layer with rivets.

AI Overview "A layover to catch a meddler" is a phrase used, particularly by parents to children, to mean "it's none of your business" or "shoo," essentially a polite or humorous way to dismiss an overly curious question. It's not a literal term for an airport layover or a real trap, but a...

I had to Google that, showing my ignorance.

Huh? Lol.

Cool relay, only thing I can imagine for mounting is perf board on a bracket.

Reads 14nF either side. I wonder if there is any added inductance. I may have to break it open. Still, it looks cool plugging into a giant wire nut. No ground and no polarization however. I thought it would light up when plugged in, but no.

Maybe a filter, I always find odd stuff. I can check if it has any capacitance.

Looks like a large wire nut line extender, but idk... Anyone have an idea? I could crack it open, but don't want to break it.

Like I said, disassemble everything, clean and replace then reassemble. A rebuild is exactly what is needed. It won't be quick or easy. I think he thinks all I have to do is solder it back together and bolt it up and have it ready within the week. I built an 11 meter, single pill amp about 14...

Well, I couldn't get the amp to power on. No big surprise, I didn't expect it to work, given the rust and busted components. Back in the box it will go. And the kicker is he will get mad that I didn't fix it and that he wasted money on it, but that's his problem. Don't pick just anything up...

Thanks The other units I have fixed all had power supply issues, a bad rectifier, melted lm723 and the like. If the amp checks out, I will fit a switch mode in it. Thanks

Yep I imagine that comment is accurate The stuff nightmares are made of, I think of that scenario often, causing much grief and anxiety, because folks are like that. Fortunately, it hasn't happened yet, but I still think about it.

Through digikey, just to get the power supply side 10-8, was about $88, new caps, new 50a rectifiers, new tip35 regulators, name brand parts, tariffs, tax, shipping and all. I told him and he asked if I could rip out the power supply section and mount a switcher in it. Sure, if we can find one...

Right! And you know what? I can fix it, I know I can, but I don't think he would like the bill because I cannot just slap parts back together and call it good, I'd pull everything apart, clean it, replace the bad, test it and reassemble. It would become a refurbished unit when done, and I don't...
