[AMRadio] WANT to buy SX-71 White Dial version

2010-05-03 Thread Les Zwiebel WB6ORZ
Wanted: a nice SX-71 white face model or the name of the seller of the radio as pictured in the Hallicrafters Photos section at the Yahoo Hallicrafters Group. That picture was taken at recent Bucks County ham fest. For sentimental reasons I am searching for this model. Tnx in advance.

One of the best sources for high voltage E-Caps and other HV capacitors for feed-thru and bypass -that I recently found for recapping my Viking II and 75A-4 boatanchors is www.justradios.com They have a very large selection encompassing different types, sizes, and working dc voltages- and the

Good input, Carl - I don't think they can make disc caps. The hope is to have tubulars made with axial leads and the foil end marked. My recollection is that the right side of the printed label is the foil side, but it shouldn't be difficult to add a paint band to the label screen. They would be c

Well, as I mentioned Larry, we're looking to get them *produced* by a capacitor company, not to sell them. This means another source for Tom or anyone else to possibly use now or in the future. The way I look at it, the more sources we can have producing these discreet components in a surface-mount

Hi Todd and All, Instead of re-inventing the wheel why don't we use one of our own who is already in the business? I refer to Tom N0JMY at Hayseed Hamfest. The name does NOT reflect the quality of his products. He is building custom electrolytics but certainly could come up with a list of com

Todd, Looking at my old Fender Guitar amp schematics, etc., I would add .022, and .047 for sure. Perhaps .0022 and .0047? AD5HR, Jon --- On Mon, 5/3/10, Todd, KA1KAQ wrote: > From: Todd, KA1KAQ > Subject: [AMRadio] Request for Most Common Capacitor Values to be Reproduced > To: "Discussi

+/- 20% Modern material will make the capacitors smaller than original so I would suggest to go with only 600V .001 .0022 .0039 .005 .01 .022 .039 .05 or .047 .1 .15 .22 -Original Message- From: amradio-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:amradio-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Todd, KA

Todd, you may not be aware that there are a number of such sources already on the market. Most cap values are available already. The issue is that these axial caps are expensive. So if you could get caps for reasonable prices you would help the market. -73- Peter K2LRC www.k2lrc.com In God We Tr

Sorry for the multiple list posting, but time is short and max input is desired. Got a call from a friend this afternoon who is talking with a capacitor manufacturer about producing some caps for the radio, guitar amp, and audio crowd. We've talked about this in the past but never got to it. Now i
