    RadioHACKtive butcher job.

    Looks like a mosfet conversion was done, which if you read the instructions you'll see that it requires removing most of the aforementioned parts... Besides, most of the "whackpack" junk is done around the regulator circuit anyway.

    Tennessee Walker blows ac fuse instantly on key down

    Is it radio drive only? If so, John's screen supplies are switched on when keyed, Likely a diode in the screen rectifier, which is around the big gray capacitor in the pic showing the underside of the whole unit, or at least it looks that way (I have a 4 tube 400 of his and its in about the same...

    Astron RS-35M Radio Shuts Down

    I don't disagree at all, but after changing out most available components, mine ended up being the pass transistors... You're right it would shut down, if they were shorted, mine must have been open? Either way, replacing them was easy, so, just passing on since I had the same supply.

    Astron RS-35M Radio Shuts Down

    I have the same supply, I had to replace the pass transistors in the back, I sold it a while back but I'm pretty sure the numbers cross referenced to the common 3055 TO-3 cased transistors that radio shack carries, they just pull right out once you take the 2 screws that hold them out, once...

    I have a buddy of mine that does these types of mods all the time, adding extra finals of all types to cobras, he has really gotten into adding and extra mosfet in the 29 lx's with some good results. He's added pills, mostly 1446's but the cost of them has had him to move away from it as of...

    DAK IX HELP!!!!!!

    Thats not a dak IX, I own one and that is in no way one of them on the inside... Looks like a conversion someone did, hopefully it's done enough that it won't take much to get it running... Hope you didn't give much for it though...
