I made a recent comment as to how well my PARAGON II has been performing over the years then Friday evening there was a "pop" and a dimming of the 961 PS red light and that smell of smoke. Removing t
Alan I was looking at some Achieves and found that Jerry, KG6TT had a similar problem with a 962, in Dec.2004. He used a Radio Shack #276-1185 Full Wave Bridge Rectifier, 25A for $3.29 at that time.
CAREFUL ! The 961 and 962 use completely different circuitry. Make sure that bridge is the same or equivalent before installing it. The 961 did indeed use a bridge but the 962 appears (from the schem
Hi, I suggest that you should check the electrolytic smoothing capacitors, and the pass transistors for short circuits before fixing the bridge rectifier circuit. 73 Tim gm4lmh On 21/09/2014 03:30, A
When my 961 bridge rectifier failed I replaced it with a KBPC3510 - a drop in replacement rated at 1000v 35A. New cost here in UK is £2.40. No other components had failed on mine, but it would be wis
Diodes don't usually fail without a reason. The reason is often a failure of some other part. Yes it would definitely be wise to check around. When my 961 bridge rectifier failed I replaced it with a
The PIV rating on the original component is marginal. 73 Bob, K4TAX Diodes don't usually fail without a reason. The reason is often a failure of some other part. Yes it would definitely be wise to ch
This is one of Ten Tec's bad habits, going back as far as the late '70s when my Titans were designed. It doesn't take much to take out the discrete transistors in the keying logic boards. In two of m
