Hey all!

I have a Messenger M4V amplifier that I'd like to trade. I bought this amp from a fellow WWDX forum member, Chris S., as a repair unit. The driver transistor got smoked along with the input resistors and the bias choke. I did all the repairs, replaced the transistor, and now it works it should. Preamp is fully functional. I added surge capacitors on every set of transistors to aid with bias voltage stability. There is also a 1/8" mono jack mounted for direct keying.

This amp is physically too large for the vehicle, and I'm looking for something that's smaller. I'm wanting to perhaps trade for a Texas Star 500 4 button, original Palomar (Magnum) 4 transistor, or perhaps a Gray 4 transistor. Looking for something that's 4 transistors, and does 300-500W, ideally.

I'll post pics as soon as they get done downloading. Open for offers. Let me know what you have! Thanks in advance. :)


~Cheers~

No longer wanting to trade, wanting to sell now. Looking for $225.00 plus shipping. Going to post pics here. The top cover has been repainted (before I got it), other than that it's in decent shape.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
  • @ AudioShockwav:
    Wes, it's better if you start a thread on the main forum, more people are going to see your question.
  • @ heartbreaker3473:
    Okay, sorry, will put in a forum
