MY LOOSECANNON MADISON HAS ARRIVED!

[G GOLLY WAlly]

First thing's first. Thank you again Loosecannon for your hard work and amazing job you did on my radio.
Now some before and after pictures.

Before

Notice the black electrical tape everywhere, it's even being used to hold the lights for the meter's. Like Loosecannon said this thing had been rode hard and put up wet, no telling how many hacks had been inside this radio, he definitely had his work cut out for him.

After! The picture doesn't do it justice, he told me he considers what he does art, well believe me, THIS IS A PICASSO!

No electrical tape! The channel 9 button now controls the dead key, low the light off is 2 watts, high light on 4 watts. Then on the inside is a knob where I can adjust the dead key to 1 watt if need be. It has I believe he said an amber lens over the frequency counter, and this thing is so quiet you can't hear a thing when turning the channel selector. Loosecannon is going to add some more pictures of the build for anyone interested. I may be bias but this has got to be one of the best Madison radio's anywhere, Loosecannon is the man!!
Almost forgot he also rebuilt the Turner Super Sidekick and matched it up to the radio.

Well he seems to of cleaned up the insides really well. Its a real neat and tidy picture you've got there Waldo. Best of luck when you are operating the radio and I wish you many years of enjoyment modulating through it with your Turner Super Sidekick and score many a QSO both Stateside and Worldwide.

Thank ya, I'm proud of it, it really turned out to be more than I expected the only problem now is I haven't scored any coaxial for the antenna the only one near me, (45 miles) can't get it until Monday and I have to leave out for work Monday so I've got a new toy and can't play with it.

It's on the underside, it's an 8 amp supply, the radio only draws about 3 so it just lopes along.

 

[mrgumby]

I like that. What kind is it?

I don't know, Loosecannon would have to explain the details, the only reason I knew it was an 8 amp supply is he told me, I basically just told him to do whatever he thought was best and when it came time to pay, I would pay. Sorry I can't give anymore details but 99% of what he did is way above my head. I just pay to play.

Leave home before it’s done. Leave home before the other half of the gear arrives.

Sounds familiar.

I'm sure it does Slowmover, you're only home a couple days a month. what do you do when you order equipment Slow? Have it sent to a Luvs or Pilot somewhere along the interstate.

Wow man that finished product is sure nice and tidy. Loosecannon did a Picasso masterpiece with all those internals too
