Colt Midnite special

I looked at the t=240 d schematic. I believe ti is the same rig.
Someone tried to re wire the power plug for the rig and wired the 120vac into the 12 vdc pins.
Needless to say the rig is a parts rig now.
sucks as I am enjoying bringing the old cb tubers back to life.

Feeding 120 AC into the 12 volt DC terminals will destroy the DC switching transistors on the back of the radio but I doubt it would take out the power transformer before the 15 amp circuit breaker would pop. It may not be as far gone as you think. It may still work on AC when wired right.
My thoughts also. I wired it up according to schizo, the channel indicator lit up. Was able to rotate from ch1 to ch40 but no tube filament were lit. So just turned the variac off and put the covers back on it, sit it to the side.
That one will be a project for this winter when the days are shorter. Summer time in Florida, the bike and the beach takes precedence.
I did pull the tubes and checked them on the tube tester, no filament lit there either so it will be interesting to see what I find when I get around to it.
