    Tiny S.A. Spectrum Analyzer

    I have several CB and a few Ham radios. If I wanted to be able to align them, what else would I need in addition to the SA? I have a BK freq counter and BK 20mhz O-Scope, audio generator, watt meter, dummy load, and multi meters already.

    Hi, I am restoring an old Tram D201 (23 ch with PC boards from late 1976) that I picked up, and want to do it right. I have scoured internet forums and sites, posted questions, and found it quite a task to gather what is needed to tackle this, but I am having fun! RESISTORS & CAPACITORS...

    Tram D201 Multi-section Caps

    I am doing the restoration on a 1976 Tram D201 (2nd version). I will replace all electrolytic caps and high power resistors. What are people using to replace the original Tram D201 Multi-section Caps? I see that Mike's Radio Repair and some others appear to be using new JJ brand caps to...
