how many watts can i safly put in it & drive it?

I would try to keep the forward drive below 30 watts pep. You could drive it with a little more but it will damage the resistors used on the hi/med/low switch and will over drive the amplifier anyway.

this has 3-srf 3749 & 1 2sc 2879 does this sound right

Not unless the 3749's are a close match to the 2879, no it's not common practice to mis-match devices like that.

can you post a picture of the inside?

That would work if the 2879 is being used to drive the 3 other transistors.

No, thats not gonna work at all. Some one has swapped in a 2879 for a 3749 and thats not a good idea. Good luck with that one. I don't even think 3749s are correct.


" That would work if the 2879 is being used to drive the 3 other transistors."

Say what?? No such thing as a one pill driving three. Sorry.

That would require a very large wattage resistor to balance the output stage with the single resistor, cheaper to just add another transistor.lol

Schematics shown for this amp and I believe dwb showed us 2 show that amp using either sd-1446 or MRF455 transistors so obviously it has already been modified or is another version that we've not seen a schematic for.

I made a 3 pill one time with 3 1 pill sections like the 1 toshiba specs for a test circuit and combined it with wilkinson style combiners.

Similar to what a 6 pill has?

 

[9C1Driver]

Yea, I could have stated that different since a skilled person could build something like that. It seems as a general rule amplifiers have even numbers of pills at the final stage.

Bottom line on that Palomar is none of those pills were there when it was new. I did have a Galaxy 225 once that had two 3749's.

i can honestly say thats the first time ive ever heard of that transistor
but 1 driving 3 REALLY come on that should set off alarms in everyones head as something is AFU
