w9cll, yeah I just looked that up like 3 days after I posted it... Sad to hear and see it really.

Damn OldTech03... them gaming PCs could support a Flux Capacitor! Seriously... I think they would work for some LDMOS bricks. May do some price checking...

I wouldn't mind a dual LDMOS unit if I could justify the support equipment.... Like the 50v power supplies and liquid cooling.

More like the gold mine! He has a lot of time and money in that beast. Still fun to see him build it!

I was going to suggest a dirty potentiometer or VR. Seen it happen a few times. Couple of sprays with DeoxIT F5 and bango... problem solved!

Need more info..... Does radio do this with the Mic gain turned all the way down or off? Does your watt meter needle bounce from 1/2 to 12 watts without speaking into the mic? What mode does this happen in? In AM, watt meter needle should go up to a fixed number like 5-10 watts, (this is...

Out of a Subaru?

Andy, I would say this is an older rig, probably used. I have 2 here. They are the LE, (limited edition), black face with Night Watch. It says Limited Edition vertically just to the right of the channel selector. And the OP is correct on the gold/sand colored cases. In my opinion, these look...

You mean 77-250CXL. I would think you see 4-5 watts deadkey and 7-10 watts as you talk or whistle into the mic. That is, if the radio is new out of the box with no mods or golden screwdrivers been inside.

I did a restore and re-cap on a 1992 Technics SA GX330 home audio receiver. All 112 caps replaced, new thermal compound on all parts that had it and thorough cleaning of the boards. Also re-soldered every pad with some good Kester 60/40. In process of mounting the new Orion 115v cooling fan...

I thinks I got a green dot floating around here some-wheres....(n)

Now if I just could afford this....:eek:

A good video on VFD problems. Not working a radio but the fundamentals are the same.

I grabbed a Weller WE1010NA this summer. ESD safe and temp controlled tip, heats up to 715 degree in 15 seconds. Many adjustable parameters like idle down time that drops the temp when not used for an adjustable amount of time= save tip life. However it only came with 1 chisel tip and the...

Thank you gents. Will look into them with a closer eye. I am also in process of re-capping an old 1992 Technics home audio receiver that we use at work. That thing has many a bad caps! The Vloss and ESR on almost all of them are horrendous to the point that the voltage regulator sections to the...

My 2nd JFK, which is pristine in physical condition, has a bit of noise coming out from speaker even the squelch is all the way up. Just sounds like background channel static. Not really noticeable unless it is in a quiet room. Now I have not done a recap or alignment yet but I don't think that...

Neat!

Thank you for the update Low Boy. It's good to see solutions are found and posted to possibly help others.

I am loving this thread! think I have 10 or more old school President rigs sitting here. Then add on the 2510 and 2600 I have Chipswitch-ed and recapped with the corrosive glue removed! What really blew me away was the swing on my 2 JFK radios! Dead key 5, swing 35.... Next on the list will...
