Unfortunately like everything else quality potentiometers have disappeared and whats left of the old quality parts are expensive if they're even available. Shit an arco 425 is $30 if you can find one. Ive talked to countless old school amp techs and they all say the same thing, once the parts...

Its better than it was. Looking at the original rubber insulator under magnification showed several cracks.

Yeah i considered that too and i may still roll that direction. But until then this is what i came up with.

Yeah i looked but it appears to be the same design. So i found an N x so239 adapter and by pushing the center pin on the N side the entire inside slides right out. I have a little more modifying to do but i should have it done tonight.

Well im tired of noise from all 4 corners all at once and dug out a sy4 set i bought used several years ago. Time to put the ground plane away for a while. After stripping it down for cleaning and what not i noticed the so239 gamma stud came apart quite nicely. My issue is the so239 insulator...

I appreciate you helping me out. At that time you didn't have to take on more work but you did and i was glad to help you in return. I was impressed with Dirtys wifi 1600, that amp was nice. Unfortunately i dont know where it is but i could probably find out. 521 had an extensive collection of...

Here's a new mod v listing, just popped up today. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275661838222?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5336136228&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

So i have the 2950 for ssb driving my Peakaboo modded DX500 and the 3300 is a backup to the 955. One of the 29's is a bench radio and the others i have set up for driving different amp, spares or are waiting for mods. The 696 needs ssb aligned and some junk removed before it will be up for sale...

Depends, davemade or davemade mobi aka joe? Not too long ago i saw a very unflattering video of one of Joes new "builders" and it wasnt pretty.

Yep but back then everything was cheaper, hell everything was cheaper until the last election. I find them locally for 100-150 sometimes but the supply of used texas star amps has dried up in the last few years. It used to be they would pop up on my saved searches on several sites daily but i...

Here's one on Ebunk and its less than what id sell mine for... https://www.ebay.com/itm/175585931729?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5336136228&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

He also has items no one else has. When i first went to his shop back in 89 it looked like a hoarder house but that man knew everything he had and exactly where to find it. Hes definitely OCD.

The price of parts are thru the roof everywhere and on top of that suppliers are becoming fewer and fewer. Id suck it up, pay the price and get what i need to get radios back together. I've personally known Ken since the 1980's, i lived just a mile from his shop by the Kalamazoo Fairgrounds and...

As said once by a used car dealer: "There's an ass for every seat."

Looking pretty rough, whats his price and what does the inside look like?

Bump...

Good luck, these tins are getting very hard to find. Ive been hunting for a 250dx lid for a couple of years now. Ill keep an eye out and message you if i find one.

Deadbeat in the deserts problem is too much bad talking others. Its been a couple years now since I bought my d-rail 955 and the only audio complaint i ever got was when i had a dead mic battery. With the echo off people say its like im sitting next to them.
