For years 3546 has served us vintage equipment aficianados well. Unfortunately, largely due to their robbing us CW ops of most of our exclusive 80 M spectrum, the middle portion of the band has filled with nets and hams who seem only interested in collecting the membership numbers of other...

Great idea! Only one comment that is not really worth mentioning but nevertheless: "Why restrict it to just one freq? What's wrong with a band from 3560 to 3599?" This would give less qrm on one freq. 73, John K4ZYF : ps: hallicrafters sx-117 & ht-44 here, solely cw.

There are several great ideas mentioned other than mine. I really didn't think I should have said it but now glad I did. With respect to rock controlled rigs. One on the greatest things I recall from my novice days was when I worked a station as a novice on 40 mtrs cw, in the evening time with an...

I'm wondering if there's anyone here, local(ish) to me, who'd be interested in an Avo Valve Characteristic Meter. My Dad recently passed away and I've inherited it, along with a beautiful CR100 ex-Navy comms receiver. I'll be keeping the radio as I've so many memories from childhood of slowly...

Partial success on this stubborn problem and it would have to be my favorite rcvr too. I traced the thunderstorm crashing sounds down to the 2nd converter subchassis. After I pulled it again, I replaced all the caps and the resistors since it is such a pain to access. I powered it up on test leads...

Hi Gang: This is a brand new CRT for a small scope. It is new in the box with original packing and documentation. I don't need it as I don't have the scope. $25.00 plus shipping. If interested please reply by e-mail. Thanks and 73,

I need tjhe wisdom of the list as this one has me totally stumped. A week ago I posted about static crashes on this rcvr. The collective advice was to check out the stages by removing tubes and then replace the micas (which are discrete components on this rcvr) in the IF cans. Well, the first tube...

I have a very nice HQ-120X Hammarlund receiver that I am restoring that needs a BFO coil. The one I have is open and the break is not visible. Does anyone have a parts radio with a good coil? I will take the whole can unit which consists of the BFO coil and trimmer and the AVC switch, or I...

I've just acquired a couple of Clansman 5.4m masts and, while erecting them doesn't really need instructions, they are so pristine it would be nice to have them "as issued", which I suspect includes a set of "field instructions". (I've some older 27' metal masts with such instructions on a metal...

Just picked up a FT-990 and the lithium battery is dead. Can't find a service manual with instructions on how to locate and replace the battery. Would appreciate an e-mail or copy of the replacement instructions for the battery in the FT-990.

I'm the proud owner of a nice SP-600, unfortunately it is without tags, can someone help me to identify wich version I have? Here below some details: -Non-mil radio no yellow anti-fungus varnish at all; -Disc capacitors, no black beauty; -The antenna connector looks to have been factory modified...

I friend of mine has to rewind the transformer of his Hallicrafters HT-32A, but he does not know the precise AC voltages (apart from filaments of course). AC voltages could be determined knowing the DC output voltages, but it would be safer to take measured data. I wonder whether anyone has, by...

Hi, Vacuumlanders (boat division :-) ) I don't spend much of my time on boatanchors but this may be of interest. While restoring a Bendix RA 10DB receiver as part of a CASM, Toronto, Lancaster bomber restoration project, see: http://casmuseum.org/avro_683_lancaster_x.shtml one of the decoupling...
