... Hell, he wasn't even worth his mother and father's time! When they seen that mass of toxicity come out of her puss - they wanted to toss it - but Haz Mat regs prevented it. I am hoping to get down to the bench later on. Haven't gotten there yet. Last night - was wanting to when I came back early from watching the game - but after a few brews - figured I better not. Got busy today with a bunch of stuff. Just now starting to slow down. I don't know where this dude is getting all his stuff - but WOW... what a mess. Miswired, chopped up, you name it. I sure hope he isn't paying any good money for the stuff! I have that mic, the Washington and one other radio to do for them. The rest are done and gone. Thanks for the assist. I am currently working on a friend's TRC-457, that is another restore project. This radio was hacked. The channel mods, and clarifier all hacks. The deadkey was real low. Channel selector is out. Lamps burnt out. I got the deadkey fixed by replacing the final. That worked fine. As I was trying to adjust modulation on my scope, I must have shorted the mic inputs, and lost the output. on AM, I have no deadkey. On SSB, the relay chatters when I key up. I tested the fina and it's still good. This one might be one of those one step up, 2 steps back radios. It is the the only radio I have seen with all these different problems. Vinnie S. Well - the "wiring" was ok - the switch on the other hand - was not. It was flaky. I wired in a "regular" switch - not the "PTT" type - before finding the "replacement" to see what the deal was. The mic worked fine. So - back to replacing the switch (after dinner!). As to your TRC 457, I have one of those waiting. That was the "other" radio I have waiting - after the Washington. I have the "Radio Shack" "Factory" manual for it - and I can't swear to it - but maybe a Sams too. If you need any help from that manual - let me know - be more than happy to help out. I already have the manual sitting on my bench for the 457's turn. This one is "said" to be receiving ok AM/SSB, Transmits fine on AM - but none on SSB. So - we shall see. I've not tested it yet to see. As for right now - "Dinner". Radios can wait. |
