Yes, it sure was

This radio is working great, again thanks for the guidance.

AHHH ... Actually I think I dated alot of girls LIKE her in the 80s .... but I dont remember her

Made a few contacts today NE Arkansas to San Diego the 142 seems to be working good. Its raining .... cant plant oats in the rain ... LOL ... Well maybe wild oats

I have found massive amounts of static ever since I converted the garage lighting to LED. Mess's with CB and stereo when the garage lights are on, maybe inherent of LED or might be just the china garbage we are forced to endure. I don't know which it is but it is bad.

I will keep an eye on it. The radio seemed to tune up correctly this evening, working properly, made a couple local contacts (trucks passing thru cuz that's all there is at the moment) .... seems to be good and stable. In the other room idling away right now. Thanks for your assistance it is...

Holy cow .... That girl really knows how to choke it down, at least most of it ..... LOL .... ANYWAY, Yes, I replaced all electrolytics and tantalums with Sprague Vishay parts of equal capacitance and a minimum of 35 Volt rating. As for the 1419 .... after reading all I could find about this...

Using chassis as ground the red power wire at the main switch says 13.83V

This is the power supply in question, from what I read it is intact. Lots to digest I will have to read it over again.

Amazing what can be done with these little devises. What purpose does the 1419 serve in the power supply, I would imagine a regulator as well. If the 1419 was found to be unreliable in the AM circuit ... is it also unreliable in the power supply? Would seem like it to me.

OH Dude .... you dont have to hide in the bushes .... LOL. Like I said I think I asked the question in the wrong way. Post #19 was actually 2 questions, 2 things I was thinking about with morning coffee, it's actually MY bad. I should have addressed 1 topic at a time, but sometimes my mind is on...

I think I asked the question incorrectly, in my case R193 is called out in the BOM as 10Kohms and TR41 is 2SC1969-B I have confirmed that R193 is in fact a 10Kohm resistor and Tr41 is in fact a 2SC1969, so the BOM and the radio are a match. But after tracing the trace with a pencil the exposed...

I do have a couple quick questions before I head out into the world today, first after going over the alignment instructions I see a point where I am supposed to connect the oscilloscope to the left leg of R193 but when I look at R193 it is in there backwards to the top view xray of the board...

OK I bought a resist-O-cabinet a few years back (I restored a few tube radios) which was full of all kinds of stuff, everything was labeled and both zener values were in there. I don't know any history of the previous owner but that's whats on hand, trying to use the thing I have available. The...

OK, I will do that .... sounds like good advice. Also concerning the the zeners, is using a 600W better than using a 1.3W ..... is it like increasing the V rating for capacitors,

Well here I am tinkering again, figured since I got sorta caught up again I would do the TSB 1226 on this 142gtl went to replace D60 with an 18V zener and found that there is no D60, I mean the place is there but it appears that some where along the line it has been removed. So I assume I should...

BLA BLA BLA .... spent 2 solid hours tellin every body they were off freq. and he had all the best equip. LOL

I landed on ProbeMaster ..... hope it a good one, at least they say Made in America

The correct manual showed up this morning .... Very informative, heavy reading ... for me. While going thru the setup instruction I noticed that when moving one of the probes the trigger light was going on and off, I suspect a broken conductor in the coax. When I went to look for a pair of...

absolutely amazing skip, had a great contact with Missouri this evening on 19 AM ... Sounded like he was in the room with me .... about 600 miles I think, way good ....
