Kenwood TS-830S
My recollection is that the gold label version was produced as an
anniversary promo. I used to own one of these. Joe W5WBR wrote in message ... I hear hams talking about the Kenwood TS-830S "GOLD LABEL". like it is something special...My question is : What does the gold label mean? For several years I worked as service manager for a Kenwood dealer,attended the Kenwood service seminars ,received all Kenwood bulletins etc...Never have I ever heard Kenwood refer to or advertise a gold label edition of the 830..Can someone tell me the true,factual story on the gold label ..TNX W4PQW |

It would be a pain in the neck, you'd pretty much have to swap out the whole power supply. If you had a lot of money or time you could rewind the power transformer to have two 12V primary windings instead of the two 120V primary windings... which would be a massive pain since the primary winding is at the center so you'd have to redo all the other windings in the process. Once you had that you could add a couple big external transistors with a big heatsink to make a simple flyback using the existing transformers. I wouldn't want to try it, but someone out there may have many years ago. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
