Pearce Simpson, model Newport 120...... Schematics?
With broken heart, I've probably thrown away 10 or 12 of these when I quit
my marine electronics business. Now that I want to return to real Ham
radio,
and have no transmitter, I'd like to convert this old rig into an 80 and
40
meter cw rig. (just the transmitter) Should not be too big of a project,
but
having a real schematic (or one that's fairly close) would make memories
return like magic!

Weren't those around 2 mc for the old marine frequencies? It might be a lot
easier tuning one to 160 meters than trying to get it up to 40 meters.

Yes, for sure! And some of these true boatanchors had MHz taps on the
coils (some call them inductors) switched with the channel selector switch.
I haven't had time (I'm retired, you see) to look inside yet. 160 meters has
so much local noise around here, in addition to needing more real estate for
antennas, that I'm thinking 40 is so much quieter, and half-wave antennas
will fit on my lot in any orientation.

That marine transmitter was made to connect to a short antenn. So 160
meters would be easy.

I am looking for 1 of those pierce simpson cb tube radios. Anyone have 1
around?

look for "Pearce"

You can usually find those radios quite easily. I see lots of them on E-Bay
at times and at Hamfests, Flea Markets and Yard Sales. IF it is a schematic
you need, I may have that here.

Yes, it is just the schematic that I seek. Pearce Simpson Newport 120.
After tossing many old marine AM radios away while I was in the business, I
suddenly had a desire for one. This beautiful specimen I have was at a flea
market. I kept going back and looking at it and wondering If I (Cheapskate,
1st Class) should spend $20. The attendant finally said, for gosh sakes,
mister, here, just take it! I don't want to lug it home one more time
anyway!

I have a few "old" schematics, but not sure what models they cover in total.
I'll look for it and get back to you.

Thanks, CLF, I'll keep my fingers crossed!
