RM Itlay power connection

[86lidewell]

Here's how I cleaned up my DC input power. Seems the pin terminals hold the connection better and less danger of shorting since these connections are so close. I tried solder on bare copper, but they still came loose eventuality.

Very nicely done, where did you get them from?

Didn’t know you could do that with a 203!!

Doesn’t look like a 203.

look at the last picture. It has the part number and the seller. These work for all the RM Italy amps. Any larger gauge and they wont fit inside the holes.

Just messin’ with ya! I need to do several of those. Thanks for thread + info.

Just curious, the 503 says it does 450w peak on sideband. Does it do 450w peak on AM too?

Shade…I don’t know about SSB but the 503hd does 300 on AM…I doubt seriously the 450 number. I have two 503hd. On NIB and the other seldom used.

I’ll post pictures (in an hour or less) of output on the Telepost LP-700 of the 503hd output on AM and SSB…also of the KL-703 all into a dummy load

Ok as promised…here are the specs for KL-703 into my DL 2.5k Palstar dummy load running off an Astron VS70M power supply. All readings taken at 13.9 volts. Up nex KL-503hd

Here are the KL-503hd numbers.

Hey, didn’t know you’d found a 703!

Very nice as presentation on these two amps, thanks!

The OP work of power pigtail (best practice) is well-illustrated.

Nicely done!! I'm digging your lp-700, top notch report and equipment.

I'd settle for the lp-100A for myself

NON INSULATED PIN TERMINAL

Have asked at WALCOTT, HRO and a couple of shops thinking I might find on shelf
