Ralph, it's Dan/N4VET. If they have run out there is a guy on you know where that has them for Heath and Collins he may have them for TT. You will have to look for him under Collins. Also, just a tho
Alan, if all else fails, Krylon now makes a spray on paint for plastic. It works great. The product is called Fusion. Just be careful when you apply and take your time so you do not get drips. Like I
I am changing out some 2 prong (non grounded) plugs with three prong (grounded) plugs on some equipment to make the equipment more safe. I have been told that the black wire should go to the fuse sid
Ed, I have a Corsair II that has the same type of switch. I have never been able to figure out how to do this and would be interested in any off list replies to you. I will keep my eyes open for any
I notice lately that a lot of replies are being made off list and direct to sender. I don't know about the rest of you guys but I to read the responses if not of a private nature. I learn a lot off t
Well, I like them and had them all Drake, Collins, Ten Tec, Atlas, Heathkit. As long as they are not newer than 6 years. Or, not a Collins KWM-380. The KWM-380, as some may recall, was the last, grea
I am working on a Corsair II that needs the brown plastic front panel replaced. It is the part through which the display can be seen. I have called Ten Tec and the part is no longer available. Does a
Astron did change the negative post but it was only done to late model supplies. The way to check is to place one probe of a DVM on the post and the other to the case. Check for continuity. It will d
Sounds like the reply I expected from TT. You will find it without TT help. Check all the cheap stuff first before going to the finals. Check voltages etc. Just take your time what's broken can't be
Find out what the finals should draw. Look in your manual. It should tell you at such a 100w 18 amps. That is just an example. If finals are bad you get like a 20 amp+ draw at say half of rated outpu
If you can set the meter on the rig to show how much current the finals are pulling at the point that the supply trips you will know if it is your finals. I ill guess that the rig puts out 100 watts.
Take off one leg of those diodes and check them to see if they are open or short. Check the ALC section of the board. Don't go adjusting pots. Check for bad components first. You don't want to add to
Craig, check voltages going to and from that diode and check any resistors for value. If all within specs the new diode should not blow again. May have been just bad luck or some kind of surge. Welco
That is the way they are. If they can't send you a part they offer to fix it for you. The problem comes in the shipping. UPS and FedX are not to careful especially this time of year. Thanks for follo
Bob, this is something you could probably do yourself but not only will you need a VTVM but an RF probe and most of all the Ten Tec alignment process to null the carrier. I don't think TT will give o
That would be the WWV reminder. It happens at 16 past each hour. Lets you know that WWV is transmitting propagation information. Dan/N4VET _______________________________________________ TenTec maili
I am using a Shure 526T Series II mic with a Corsair II. The mic clips signals if set over a 3. Here is question. On all amplified mic I have used in the past if you turn the mic gain all the way dow
I do not know if this will help. I have an OMNI V and the instructions are the same as far as turning down one pot and then the other for minimum current. In the OMNI V they are pots R11 and R21. But
Well Bob now you know why I have never run a Ten Tec rig without an Airpax. Small price to pay for the protection it provides. People say no need for them. Could be that in an ideal lab setting your
