I put on my seatbelt, mask and rubber gloves and accessed the Service Menu (Safety First) by holding in the Menu & Mode buttons. Let go as soon as you power it up, then hit each button next to them moving down the line starting with DW. That will land you in the Service Menu. You should see FM...

Maybe someone would just appreciate you just posting the answer instead of boning about a long lost thread and good luck sorting thru all the BS to find it again.

Of all the videos on YouTube, you had to pick the one with the most hated moronic person on CB in America. Do I need to mention his name?....................

Fast forward to year 2023... Toshiba 2879's are so rare, builders are ripping them out of perfectly good older amps, especially the beat up Texas Stars you find at fleamarkets and hamfests. They then test them, clean them, test them again and post on eBay for $125 a pop. Meanwhile, other amp...

Glad you took the time to look up my name on QRZ. I hope you learned somthing.

Not clueless.....not my fault that Mother Nature finally gave us Floridians a break and he completely disappeared off our scope (as did Hard Drive). My comment was reiterated from another poster who said the same thing. If indeed Timmy is still doing his thing and you live nearby.....well...

Nope, just my stated opinion, and we all have one, don't we?

Nobody of any integrity wants to see rude or ignorant comments from the peanut gallery on their YouTube channel.

I did not just fall off the back of the turnip truck...been doing this since 1960. BBI does better and neater work than ANY other amp builder and I'm staring at about a dozen different amps by various builders as I write this.

I think somebody saw it coming and bought up all the Texas Star parts they could get their hands on and are sitting on them waiting for us to start crying.

From all your posts, I take it you like to stir the pot on the airwaves as much as possible.

Well, they make man-diapers for incontinence, but what other amps are you referring too? He knows amps, both CB and Ham and has plenty of videos of him restoring them.

I am not here to defend Lester, but I have never had an issue with his shipments or builds. He does state that 'Custom Orders' will take longer to address than standard orders of gear he has already modified and tuned. He is a retired US Navy Electronics Tech and knows his stuff, unlike the...

When you mention BBI, you should slightly bow your head in respect. He is a God among Amp builders. That is not just my opinion.

As closure and watching how Karma works, little Timmy, the 1111111111111 guy, finally got busted a few months ago and you won't be hearing from him anymore.

That is a good thing. Seems every time I try to research something about older equipment, the threads stopped years ago and nobody has updated them since with better and more proven information, especially about amplifiers.

No, it does not.

That wattage is stated as "input" wattage (a ham term) which translates to actual RMS wattage out to a dummy load as 100 watts on low and 500 on high. You may get slightly different results depending on tube life and meter differerence.

Does anyone know a good source for the "Trombone Capacitor' (variable tubular capacitor) used in the final tuning stage of amplifiers? I have notice they are being used alot lately by the big builders and seem to make a world of difference over standard PF capacitors and give much better...
