NCL2000 Owners
 

Hi all concerned:

I'm interested in reading about fixes, work-arounds for 'unavailable' parts,
and so forth. I'm aware of the stuff Rich Measures (google him) has on his
site.

When were the first and last series lots made?

73 & TIA,

Dave, N3HE

Can't say about the first lot but think that the last lot of them was
made around 1977.

At the Boxboro Mass ARRL convention around 1975, National had a
display booth.

At the time they were still offering the NCL2000, the NCX1000 the
HRO500 and the new HRO600 (with cesium atomic reference oscillator
option - very impressive).

After the factory bankruptcy, one of their former engineers,
Maximilian Fuchs, bought out the lot of NCL2000 spare parts and may
have even assembled a few more of them.
Until around 10 years ago, I still saw his ads for NCL2000 parts and
service in QST.
I don't know if Fuchs is still alive....

Fuchs had also designed and marketed a product of his own, the "VOMAX"
split band microphone processor/compressor.

He's shown on the ARRL's TIS webpage, as follows, so it looks like
there's a good bet he's still at it. -Ted, W1XO
