Greetings all, As you may recall I posted here a while back about a Delta II I picked up from an estate. The SK's son mentioned that 15M (VCO 3?) operation was intermittent when I was in discussions
Joe, Just an ohms check may not be enough. You may be dealing with an intermittent breakdown under high voltage. A "hi-pot" (high potential) test with an insulation tester etc. would be the only way
Joe, I'm hoping some of the other guys who are more "amp-saavy" than I chime in, but you might be able to do a "cheap & dirty" test of the transformer this way. It would be somewhat subjective, but d
Per Carl - note the word "intermittent." That would account for the seeming randomness of the blown fuses. I think dealing with that word in relation to electronic devices may also have something to
I think what Darrell is saying is the reason that the early Omnis and Corsairs continue to be popular: they feature RX performance which is still "plenty good" for non-DXers/contesters like myself AN
John, I'm not quite ready to go the "donation" route when it involves a for-profit company, and I'm not in the market for a new rig, but might the new owner be interested in working with small invest
Rick, I'm with you on the "too many features." While I haven't owned or used a K3, one of the things I never cared for about the K2 was the "one way" filter selection: it cycled through the filters w
My recently acquired (from an estate) Delta II/536 exibits intermittent operation on the 14.5 - 21.5 MHz range (VCO 3) and has also gone dead once briefly on the < 7.5 MHz range (VCO 1.) The SK's son
Dave, The "48057 Unknown" is possibly the stock 4 pole 9 MHz 2.4 KHz BW unit used in the Corsair and/or Argosy per an old post on the reflector: -- Ten-Tec IF filter data Model Number / Stock Code /
TNX for your willingness and efforts Robert, I'm good at coming up with ideas but not always so good at putting them into practice HI HI!! Hopefully this will help us "die-hards" keep our vintage TT
Robert, Just a couple of comments/wish list: how about including categories for complete rigs for sale/wanted instead of just parts? Also, could you add model entries for Argonaut (505, 509, 515), Ar
Before you get too far with that maybe we need some consensus from the group as to what radios belong to which "family"? That would make the groupings more intuitive when posting/searching for an ite
Robert, Have you ever thought of giving lessons on customer service? There are a lot of companies that could benefit from having your attitude and approach. TNX/73, Al
That could be read several ways. I'd take it to mean that she has an _inventory_ of his ham gear on her computer. If that is the case, that's an excellent move on his part. (If you want to know why,
Just a note of caution here: the breaker is a delay 51 trip curve. Here's the pertinent info from Airpax's data sheet on the breaker in question: DELAY CURVES 400Hz, DC, 50/60Hz Delay Curves (typ) A
As long as one remembered to back off the drive a bit and run the rig at ~80-90% output, I'd think using a 15A (preferably still instant trip) breaker might also be an option for the older rigs since
May be apples and oranges, but I had an issue with a Corsair "back when" where the RX on 40M would die after about an hour of operation (as you will see, this would have affected the TX also.) I call
