    A while back tx star got busted by Bbi using fake Toshiba 2879 transistors, Lesters custom also offers the Chinese Toshibas as an upgrade. What do we know about the source of these parts and what about the performance? .

    SB220 voltage and tune sparking.

    When I got my sb-220 It had been arcing on the previous owner. What was required on my unit was a thorough cleaning of the tune capacitor with a jeweler's file where the plates had melted and swollen from the arcing.

    Now if we had something like a switchable channel guard crystal filter that would be a good use for that switch. The Gnf just sounds bad.
