I think only the very early Centurions had the vacuum relay. Mine and later models have relays. Replacing it is not too hard. BTW I had a similar problem with mine and TT had me put a jumper across a

Hi Guys, I am looking for someone who has interface the 'Rascal' to the 565. My friend is the one that has the 565 and wants to get on RTTY. The Rascal Interface with it custom cable for the 565 seem

That is very good Jack, the problem is that I am not the owner of the Orion but my friend W0TT is. I am trying to get him on RTTY. Maybe you could send me a note off line on what cables you are talki

I got my Centurion about 4 years ago used off of QTH.COM. I paid $1300 for it. The build date was 1996. I have not had a lick of problems with it. It still has the Emiac tubes in it. I still ge
Rich I don't have one for sale but I have experience with both. I had a Drake L4B and a Drake L7 amp. Both built like a tank. But as years when by, my rigs get newer. 1st was the Kenwood TS-850S/A
At home I have a Centurion 422 Amp built in 1995. I bought it two years ago for $1300. I drive it with a PRO3, and during last weekend contest ran about 750 watts output. The computer keys the amp, a
A week or so I mentioned that the Break-in CW stopped working on my 422 TT Amp. The my CW keyer keys the amp and the amp keys the PRO3. It has been working since I got the amp about a year ago. I don
I hate to interrupt the forum with a real TT question, but here go's: I have a 13 year old TT Centurion Amplifier which I have own for about 2 years. I have it hooked up in break-in mode with my IC-
Kris, I had the same problem on 40 meters but the fix was easy, I just added a random piece of coax, about 14 foot because that is what I had, and then I was able to get full power on 40 meters. "W
thank you for your input Jim. But the TT 422 does not use a vacuum relay. It uses two fast relays. It uses a driver transistor to drive the relays. This transistor is located on the QSK board. I was
I have always had a Drake TV-3000-LP filter in line at my shack. Then I got a Icom IC-756PRO-3 transceiver. It took me a few months to understand why I never heard anything on 6 meters? I knew me r
I have ordered from this supplier for some LED'S for my HAM IV control box. Very good service and worked fine. BTW, this is a web only store but I found that I was a store front within walking dis
I have an older Centurion 422 Amp. About a 1996 build date. My Plate Voltage shows 2800 Volts no load. The manual said it should be 3100 Volts. One of my buddies, K2DP, just replaced his transformer
Thank you all for the nice reply to my questions regarding the HV on the Centurion. Richard was nice enough to send me a photo of his 422B showing the 3100 V. 1. I am using 230VAC in the shack. It wa
There is a very good video of Hallicrafters building the BC-610 on the Internet. Too bad I can't remember where. But it was a B&W video made by Hallicrafters. Joe K0BX, now back to TT According to th
