NOS SS 3000 radio for sale on the bay from Japan!

[loosecannon]

well here is one of the rarest radios around, and it's brand new for sale from Japan.

This is the one with the dual TDA2003 audio amps in it.

these things are apparently audio beasts.

I just want someone to buy this one so they can make measurements for me so i can fix mine LOL.

anyway, if your tax return is burning a hole in your pocket, then you might like this:

I see buyer's remorse coming. Just AM/FM and no side band.

 

[loosecannon]

im sure there are plenty of AMers out there that would love to have one.

im really just shocked to see that someone in 2019 was still sitting on a case of these.
this is seriously one of the weirdest CB chassis ive ever come across.

its like they combined a cb radio with a car stereo amplifier LOL.

this is the basic circuit they used for the AM modulator:

I had one radio way back that had AM only but had FM Stereo built in. You could listen to FM music and the squelch would break and you had CB audio coming in. I think it was a Kraco brand.

So that means that it is loud as hell? My finger is on the button, I hope i don't slip and accidentally buy one.......
How old do you think these are? The sn on the one in the picture has a really low number.....

They have Warehouse finds every once in a while when they reorganize the stock and move an item that there is an excess of stock due to low sales or over ordered.
At some point in time an inventory check brings out the ghost stock and items like that popup. There have been Motorcycles I would have paid a King's ransom for if I had found out about them in time. I saw a bike shop UN-crate a brand new 2010 Honda Goldwing and I snapped it up. I owned it before they finished getting the crate off of the bike. Drove it 20,000 miles and traded it in 2015.

 

[loosecannon]

ive honestly never heard one, since mine is still in a state of relative disrepair.

however, the transformer in these things is MASSIVE, and from what nomad says, it will do a real 40 watts+ PEP. the entire purpose of designing this particular chassis would be for super loud AM audio.

they will be old, like from the 90's, so if i bought one (i just can't bring myself to pay that much for a radio right now) i would re-cap it.

I have a thread on mine somewhere on the forum, so you can see pics of the inside.

Any idea how to do the 11m conversion? CBTricks doesn't have it. They have the 3900 would it be the same? My button pushing finger is starting to itch.....

STM,
Looks like from the ad that Band "D" is 11 meters.

73's

Well I went and did it. It will not be here until next month. I wonder if Klondike Mike has a kit for this? Will post updates.

 

[TheRealPorkchop]

Mr Big Spender, yes sir!! You da man!!!

Now when it gets there make sure you post lots of pictures of the guts and lets see what it’s made of.

Full reports please.

Bypass and little caps in the audio chain and that pig should push some BASS

Will this turn a Cobra 29 into an SS-3000?
