[AMRadio] Question about Seller of Viking II's on the Auction site
Hi all, First off, If this should be posted on AMSWAP, My apologies. I was unsure. Ok... I see two Viking II's for sale on that famous auction site. The seller is Radio-Mart. Am I remembering correctly that there have been problems with him? I really would love to have Viking II. It was my first radio when I got licensed. Besides, it would be nice to put on AM. But... I don't want to shell out all my disability money on a pig in a poke either... The auctions end in just over 5 hours... What say you all? Should I go for it?

I remember (back in the day) going into one of their stores and asking for something like a 12ax7, 10uF/450VDC electrolytic and a 50K Rheostat and the clerk would return in seconds with what I wanted and he didn't have to think or ask anyone where or what they were.

Re: [AMRadio] Getting on the Air - May 2008 QST
Hi Joe, and to all the AMRadio members, I agree. Amateur Radio has been hit too many time with the Dummy-Down Stick or Nerf Bat. I got my novice ticket on May 14, 1984. At 49 years old, I too am a newcomer to this hobby. My very first rig was a Viking II. And the rcvr was an HQ-129 with a 110V Dow-Key. Lotsa voltages there that can kill ya. Hell, you could die from a heart attack from carrying one from the car to the shack! But... I learned about high voltages. I learned Ohms Law and understood it. I had an elmer who instilled homebrewing into me and made me appreciate what we were doing! He taught me respect and reverence for these things. I love the smell of tubes! Today, Amateur Radio has become an appliance hobby. You goes to the store, you pays your money and you walks out of said store with an Appliance Radio that you plugs into your 12 VDC Appliance Power Supply and Appliance Antenna which you just took out of the box all assembled and tuned. Then you makes your very first contact with another Appliance operator who just did the same thing. No tuning, WTF is an SWR? And, what do I do if I have one? (seriously, I heard a young GENERAL say that to me.) Load and Plate? Whuts dat? B+? Is that a new Vitamin Water? You actually use that big heavy monstrosity? Why? You know THE CW? All of these things I have heard from the mouths of the new Amateur Radio Operator! Now don't get me wrong, I am happy when I hear of another person joining the ranks of Amateur Radio. I am pained however when I learn that the same person passed his test by sheer memorization and no learning! No love and respect of electricity and its fundamentals. NO FREAKIN' CLUE!!! I am proud of my daughter Sarah who presently hold her Tech. She was sad when they did away with the code. She wants her General. She loves boatanchors. In fact, her favorite thing in the shack is the National NC-125! And she is coming with me to Near-Fest and is looking forward to meeting the AM crew (especially TimTron) Proud I am!!! And while I am ranting... What the hell is up with Radio Shack? I remember I could walk in there and buy a 100uf 450VDC Electrolytic right off the rack and maybe a 6AU6 and a 12BY7. Plus, the guy working there knew what they were and what they were usually used for! Plus, the ENTIRE WALL WAS COVERED WITH ELECTRONIC PARTS. Now they are tucked away in drawers with the entire area measuring 3'x3'x3' and mostly LED's and maybe a few fuses! SAD!!! And, you don't want to start me on the whole CW thing. I know that would stir up some serious Sh... err Stuff... For crying out loud people, Learn about what makes our hobby special. Learn to use your brain!!! Seek out the old timer, He can open the door to great aspects of the hobby. All ya gots to do is walk through and open your eyes and ears! Regress a bit and embrace the possibilities. Oh, I am no longer a member of the ARRL. I gave up the privilege a few years back. I remember I used to soak up every issue. Even before I became a ham, I would go to my elmers and he would give me a years worth at a time. This was when they were smaller in sized and packed with real content! I hate the direction they have allowed amateur Radio to be taken. Elitist bunch of bureaucrats! Go sit in Riley's lap. How do ya like me now? Ok, I guess I am getting old and buzzardly. I apologize. I too hate to see where our wonderful way of life is headed! Oh, and I too play the guit-fiddle and work on my amps. Ya wanna know what is on my bench at the moment? DX-100 (Recap, retube and Timtron mods,) SX-42 (Recap, retube and align) NC-183 (Recap, retube, align and new paint) BC-779-A (Just got it. Retube and maybe recap and align in it's future) Softrock40/30 TXRX (New kit. Hey, I like the new stuff too!) De k2ki SK. Flame all you want!!! Joseph Bento wrote: The Getting On The Air column by W1ZR. Vacuum tube based equipment is far too dangerous to consider for a first rig, and building your own equipment apparently isn't even a consideration any longer. If it uses tubes, GASP! High Voltage! We can't have any of that! Also, avoid gear older than 8 years, because you might not be able to get it repaired. I hang my head in shame over what has happened to this once great hobby where people were somewhat technically competent. Those that lacked technical skills at least learned a bit of theory to at least have a basic understanding of the operation of their equipment. At 44 years old, I'm a relative youngster in ham radio. I build and restore vacuum tube equipment. I also play the guitar. The electric guitar fraternity seems to embrace homebrewing far more than the amateur community does today. Most good guitar amp designs are still vacuum tube based, including modern designs. People regularly modify their amps or build clone designs. Yes, high voltage. You learn the proper precautions.

Re: [AMRadio] Progress report on my DX-100
Hi Tom, Thanks... Well, the nicotine actually preserved the radio. :-). It came off NP with Windex with Vinegar. The chassis is another story. The copper cladding has been eaten away from something that spilled inside and was left to do its damage. I think I am going to take it down to bare metal and spray it with something. As far as the sticker is concerned... Get your hands on some Goo Gone. Wal Mart sells it as well as many other variety stores. Apply it to the sticker and let it set for like 30 mins or longer, the sticker should get translucent. Then scrape it off with your fingernail. Use nothing else as it might scratch the surface. Rinse-repeat until all traces are gone. Then clean with Windex to get the Goo Gone off. I am reworking much of the rig. Solid stating the PS and revamping the Mic and Modulator sections as per Timtron (WA1HLR). As I work on the electronics and do the WA1HLR mods, I am re-drafting the schematic. Once I am finished, I will make it available to the public along with Timmy's mods (After he blesses it for human consumption that is). Good luck with the DX-100, they are a great rig! 73, cul...

I would like to have someone run down the major differences between the two models. I am interested in the MAJOR differences and how they affect the performance of each. I am not trying to necessarily own the ultimate of the two, but need to know what to expect from my old R390/URR and whether I will be happy with it in my Amplitude Modulated station.

[AMRadio] Recapping a DX-100
Hi everybody, I recently had a DX-100 fall into my lap. Cosmetically it is immaculate inside. Outside needs a little soap water but there are no scratches or wear marks. AND... No hack jobs or extra holes drilled into it. It came to me with the enclosure too. My questions: 1 - Has anyone created a recap/mod kit for this? The radio needs a recap plus the mods that are posted on the Intraweb. :-) 2- Any good sourced for tubes? 3 - Are there any suggestions as to what the caps or other key components should be replaced with?

[AMRadio] SX-42 Donor needed
Hi all, I originally posted this in the Boatanchors reflector and know that most of you's read that forum.

The shaft is snapped in half with one half missing. A front panel and some knobs would be useful too. More knobs than panel. Anyone have a carcass kicking around with these parts? Let me know please.
