I have a 142gtl parts rig if that will help, I can get a pic of the switch if you want. Edit, I just looked, it is a SR 209. Need just the switch or the board/led too? I haven't taken it out yet.

When the silkscreen shows a circle around a thru hole and a line protruding from that to the other thru hole, doesn't mean the component is left out or jumpered, but the device is instead installed on end. Bingo.

Yes, I have all, not sure if they are good or not, but if you pay the shipping you can have them.

I might have what you need, let me check and see. Brandon sent me a 2510 parts rig and I have taken all I need from it.

Can I get a date on this 148? White power plug, probably the cleanest inside I have seen for such a vintage. Pll says 7728, so was this made in 1977? 83002566 s/n, so 1978?

I couldn't say on temp, I do a 3 count with a micro torch, flame almost touching the slug, then put the guide on and shove a stick into it. I give it about 10 seconds to cool. When in the groove I can turn them out quickly. That's the plug of a common 12 volt wall wart, the hole is perfect. I...

There is a bit of a learning curve, if you mess up the tip, clip it off and try again. I went as far as fabricating a tool to hold the heated slug and guide to keep the sticks straight. I might post it up one day.

Thanks, I will try it out in the morning. I haven't noticed any oscillations but better safe than sorry.

Given the additional shielding and intentional stage gain reduction, I would agree with you. Seems they put it all together and realized they had a problem. What value would you guess?

Thanks Dan, I found that on cbtricks. I'm looking for the schematic for the IRF520 PA board, it's a replacement board for the obsolete 2290 PA board. The 2290 board schematic is listed on cbtricks also.

Yes, a large green mylar, can't see the value tho.

I had to repair some burned traces on the PA board and 1 of the 520's in the final spot was toast. I also had to repair a few traces on the main board. Back together and I see ~105 peak watts on AM, that's good enough to call it. No overheating and a quick alignment, she's back in business. I...

I talked to the guy, he said there was a smd "diode" on the regulator trace that came off and burned up on his iron tip. I see a place marked for a capacitor, c339 that is missing. Maybe that's what he means. I can't find it on the schematic so have no idea it's value. I circled the location I...

I have never received any response from a company when trying to get info like that, I guess it just goes to file 13, but I will try. Thanks.

It's the pcbx-1026r1 as listed above in the screenshot from strykers page.

It looks like they removed 3 capacitors and left 1. Also, added some resistance across the output of the input transformer that goes to the bases (gates) of the finals. All I can find is an old listing as a Stryker replacement board, no pic or specs. Someone removed the original transistors and...

Update, I finally got some time to look at it, and this PA board is rough. I'm not sure if the guy used a soldering iron or a branding iron. I can't find this PA board on cbtricks, they show the single 2290, not the quad 520's. I would like to see a schematic, I think there are some missing...

Not a question, more sharing and documenting what needs documented. So, a guy who I do repair work for, actually a few guys all recommended me to this one guy, they gave my info to their friend who has this radio. He called me out of the blue and asked if I repair radios. I asked who he was and...

There's a lot of greats there, and I had no idea Steve Martin played a banjo!

Thanks! I forgot, I really need to print these TIP equivalents out, I have plenty of them. I think I have asked before, maybe it will stick this time.
