Ok here is a audio clip of my tram titan 2, like all things, it sounds better in person or over the air......

Nice looking Titan eastside! my water/videogates are all in MP4 videos, so I would need to redo the gates into mp3 files so I can upload them, I will try to do that this weekend so you guys can hear this good sounding radio. I prefer the tram titan 2 for everyday daily driver radio, and the...

I am looking for a Tram Corsair mobile that is the matching radio to the titan 2. That mobile tube radio has a collins filter in it. I want to use it in a mobile down the road. I cant go back to plastic radios, I hooked up some cobras and galaxys the other day and I cant stand the poor receive...

Well unfortunately we will never be able to talk to each other because I am located on the north side of detroit subrubs and I do not get out more than 10-12 miles locally but I get out great on DX. I only have one tram, my mint titan 2, I am not a guy with a house or garage full of radios...

This information posted about the use of the collins mechanical filter in the Tram Titan 2 is incorrect, I just want to clarify this in case someone is trying to gather info about this great radio.... In the Tram Titan 2, the AM 455khz IF strip consists of the Collins Mechanical filter feeding...

I will look out for you on ch 20. where are you located? I know the guy you bought the tram off of. I am looking for schematics for the original tram titan for a final tube upgrade to boost the power to hopefully what I get from my titan 2, dead key about 3.5w and swing to 14-15 watts. It...

My 100% stock Browning Golden Eagle Mark 2 receiver does not use a OB2 either, it uses a 1N3005 Zener diode regulating the voltage at 108v instead of the voltage regulator tube, if you have this you dont need the ob2 tube. Also, you can pull the 6BE6 tube (V12) as that is only activated for SSB...

my member name is my handle. I am all around the 23 channels and I don't have a specific standby so tell me what channel you hang on and such and I will be waiting for conditions. I watergated this radio and amps again today and it sounds incredible, so much smoothness, fullness and depth but...

I am done replacing parts until next week when my 6GM5 audio tube and 10w power resistor order comes in. I still have a bunch of other caps to do yet. So far since I have replaced all these parts, I have noticed that when the volume is turned all the way down, I hear ZERO hum and almost zero...

BTW, you can get all the parts from mouser. I would include some Type 47 bulbs on the order as its always good to have a few extra around. My parts order came in today and I replaced about 30 capacitors so far! more to go, but that is another day. I recapped the audio mic, AF and power...

His picture must be tricking our eyes, The resistor is a 1.8K Ohm 2watt resistor. It is in parallel with a 4uf grey capacitor. This is on the output of the transformer audio circuit that drives into the AM plate/screen circuitry. This could be part of the whole audio issue in the first place...

clarify audio section. Did it smoke another power supply resistor or something somewhere else? If you can take a pic and circle it I can tell you what you smoked.

This morning I replaced the rectifier bridge in my tram 2 that runs all of the high voltages, which is a epoxied block made up of (4) 600v 750ma diodes, I replaced it with (4) 1000v 3000ma (3amp) diodes. This bridge is like 4 times the stock current rating. The things I noticed since I turn the...

BTW, the 300ohm resistor you smoked is right on the relay contacts 3,7,11 so most likely this what a direct result of the relay cleaning and the relay not being in sync. Here is a pic of my Titan 2 sitting on top of the Davemade 300 amp unregulated power supply (I have two of these, not using...

I am placing a tube upgrade order for the 6GM5 audio tube, which I can't wait for, and a bunch new tubes across the radio and also I am replacing those 3 power resistors with 10 watt versions to give them more headroom and will run cooler.

That black part is a power resistor that someone else had installed. it needs to be a 300 ohm/7W resistor, my underneath pics show mine. I felt my resistors after I disconnected the power and they were very hot. Also, the voltage inside ramps down fast after you disconnect power, so if you wait...

Todays Update: I bypassed switch that the output goes through on the back where the dummy load is, the contacts were all black. I noticed I got 1-2 more pep watts from radio after this, before it would whistle to 12 watts pep and now it goes to 13-14pep, drives my amp 10 watts harder output...

The odd looking resistor should not be odd looking it should be like the other two. look at my radio internal pics for a reference. Someone must have changed it prior. It should be a 300ohm/7W. You most likely will need to replace the other two resistors as well as they are also in line after...

ahh, did you key the radio down after you cleaned the contacts? You need to do this as mine had no receive and acted funny when I turned it back on, keyed it up and fixed it immediately. if you shorted out one of the relay contacts temporarily somehow that could also cause the issue, if the...

Long Resistors by where you plug in AC cord? This is easy fix, those are on the main high voltage power supply rail, 100ohm 7watts, 150ohm 5 watts, 300ohm 7 watts. If these are smoking you most likely will also need to bypass the large 40uf/40uf/40uf capacitor with 3 caps underneath chassis as...
