Random Radio From The Vault, Will it Work ? Smoke Alert
Very interesting from Barry G4DIP 😊
I am a little late to the party , but throw my name in the hat ...... I like that lil scope ...
Nice repair and overview Buddy handy if you can't have an antenna farm in the yard. Always a pleasure to see my Grail rig in use also (Kenwood TS-2000) one of these days , but my TS-520s will have to suffice for now.
More fun stuff.. I bought another unit as a spare on sale for $46 which I noticed had a complete redesign of the PCB relative to the unit shown in this video. Looks to be substantially improved and with some opaque FMD (who?) SOIC microcontroller directly on the board. This particular unit has an AC mains SPST switch which definitely seemed like an improvement though obviously an afterthought as the rear was drilled out to accept a round 20mm switch. Well until you realize the switch opens the neutral not the mains hot line. This is just a copy of the original DIN connector (wrong choice of gender) design where when hot air or iron is disconnected you have 24VAC or 120/240VAC sitting on those pins to accidentally meet the user. So rather than move the SPST on the neutral to hot I picked up the same switch in a DPST version and rewired to switch both AC mains. Another thing is those "couldn't possibly be made cheaper" screws threading into the ABS case were starting to stress discolor it which IME eventually fractures the ABS. I drilled out the holes and epoxied in brass insert nut to mate with M3 screws. I suppose that should be done for the front PCB and transformer mounting as well but I stopped with the case alone.
Se substituir o trafo por uma fonte chaveada não melhoraria a estabilidade ?
Awesome fix, thank you for sharing! Wondering if the SWR was high on 75 meters (~minute 38) because the antenna length hadn't been adjusted :)
Nicely done buddy! You are the antenna man, nice repair!
I love it, making what the manufacture could not make properly.
303 stainless or make an insert of 303.
Nice video. I fixed one a while ago where the bottom half of the antenna was full of water. The motor was rusted past repairing it so I bought a similar replacement motor on eBay and swapped it out. I then soaked all the rusted parts in vinegar overnight and turned out great. The rest of the antenna just got a good cleaning since it was still in pretty good shape half way up. It works like a champ now.
That's why they call them "binding posts!"🤣
"Fix it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without" I sure appreciate your skill set, Buddy! The "Dyno Cams" sticker on your toolbox reminded me of my Karting days 😊 We're kinda cut from the same stock...
Oh yeah, built many kart engines in the past. I was a certified WKA tech guy at the local track for 7 years. Also ran stock. super stock and limited.
Excellent, Buddy. Nice repair job. I had a Webster Band Spanner on the truck for a while. I thought the Tarheel was basically a copy of the old Band Spanner until I watched your video. Thanks for sharing it with us. 73 de K7RMJ Frank
Thanks Frank, The Tarheel is a different design. Very simple made.
Nice video Buddy, I always wanted one of those but the cost wow Great mobile antenna if you have room to mount it. Local ham here has one on his car roof with a magnetic mount that has 3 magnets. Just hope he doesn't drive with it on.
Very expensive for sure. I seen those mag mounts. May be ok for the smaller versions but this one is quite large.
You remind me of Mr. Pete! Or Keith Rucker! Before you got there, I was thinking to myself he needs to bore that out and put in a bronze bushing and thread it. That's exactly what you did. And I learned that just from watching CZcams videos. I am not a machinist but I love watching machinist videos.
I watch both of those guys, along with Abom, Blondihacks, This Old Tony and a few more. I could have made a new piece but thought it be simpler to repair that one.
Nice job breathing life back into that antenna . Now it will last . Great video !
Thank you, now have some fun using it.
Uggg, those antennas. It's always corrosion that kills them. May you and your family have a happy and safe 4th of July. p.s. A very high Q on that antenna. 😳
Thanks My B, I agree. Have a great 4th my friend,
Brass is a perfect choice.
I think it will last longer than what was originally used. Thanks
Thanks!
Thanks you!!
Brass vs stainless steel = potential dissimilar metals problems. Dissimilar metals in contact becomes a battery. Just sayin' ...
A stainless-steel insert may have been better. But have none on hand.
Grease the threads?
Yep, thought I mentioned that.
Nice fixes...
Thanks
Brilliant solution Buddy. Good thing you're a mechanical wiz as well!
Thanks my friend.
Thank God all my antennae are all fixed length. I know of several guys who run those Tarheel antennae. Now that's a great fix for that known problem with the Tarheel. That should be a permanent fix. Only mobile I talk is 2 meter with a small dual band, mag mount on the SUV with a Yaesu hand held & 20 watt amp. Cheers & 73 from K9POW in eastern TN
Thanks my friend. If I ever find me a small HF rig I may go back to some mobile work. But it may be useless to do since my longest trips mobile is only 15 minutes at a time these days.
Does it have WiFi in the menu to hook to and view ,check the menu
awesome video
Thank you nice job . 73 28:41
Nice look little scope that would very handy especially when you have small area to work in
As always your videos are great. I could really use the pro scope. My old Tektronix 2213a has almost completely died. The trace function went out and I'm down to guessing at the calibration. Take care everyone and have a safe 4th of July.
I literally took mine apart as you did and followed your guidance step by step. This sort of video is very handy to use as a guide. I’d love to watch you recap the capacitors and see how you do it.
Hi Radio Shop guy. I hope you had the chance to fix this monster. Just some tips to you. This thing is from the 60's. Means all switching is mechanical, using relays etc. I would recommend to clean up carefully every single relay is on there. In the power supply there are some, in the RF lines and in the display unit are like 10 of them. Several years of inactivity and inadequate storage are causing corrosion in contacts. It's just the first thing I always do to vintage electronics.
question do you have to neaturize the tubs when they are replaced?
They're about 39 years old have one and still use it, great radio
I have 3 or 4. A early serial 101 no letter that is the best working one ive seen. Ive got a 101b but letters are flaking off. A 101e missing 10m xtals. A 101e with some weird demodulator mixer board. I have a original silver trim 101fv no B letter vfo. Probably pretty rare as ive never seen one ever before. Have the yo100 but cant figure out why theres voltage on the chasis. The yc601 in your video looks odd like a inbetween version...love these but i prefer the ft901dm or 101zd or ft102 for tube hybrids. This station looks super clean
Thanks for this informative video about the Sencore CB42 CB Analyzer. The concept at the time was to provide the servicing technician of a CB radio to hook up the essential cables to the product, and then conduct troubleshooting tests from the RF input to the power transmitter output to the antenna, with some twists of the appropriate dials. Such was called a "systems approach" for troubleshooting for finding the problem fast, rather than the parameter measurement techniques of Tektronix and Hewlett-Packard instruments of the time. I wrote the operations and some of the maintenance portions of the CB42 manual.
The carrier board
You did it again splurged i know the temptation as I am guilty just have to watch out for the wife she thinks i am obsessed. Great video
Excellent video, Thanks for your wealth of knowledge and experience on these older sets.
Thanks
Damn, that gear is totally mint, credit to the owner
Agreed!
GREAT BUDDY, that was fun, Great looking rig. Dave W4GSM
Appreciate that Dave
Beautiful, Very envious, I collected a 101ZD Mark 3 in Mint Condition, Sadly no Scope which is on my Wish List. I do not normally post as you are obviously busy, but I do love your posts, Great Work Man. 73
Thanks for stopping in and posting. Good luck on your scope hunt
Excellent device! Unfortunately, many people do not understand that any vintage device needs maintenance before turning it on and using it.
Yep, anything that age needs new cans
One reason why I do these videos is the share
GREAT RADIO AND VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING--@@!!!!
Thanks for watching
Love the 101EE that was my first radio I bought one that needs a lot of work eventually get it done but will be referring to your 101 videos to make sure I don't miss anything :)
Good luck on your project and thanks
@@TheRadioShop Thank you
The MDS M Pro works better than I expected for this price range, great review. Please add me to the give away list.
"Unless you're a technician, I don't suggest just plugging it in and turning it on." Amen.
get the variator out for sure.
@@george-ev1dq i think you mean variac
Pretty radio! Great job, looking forward to the next video.
Thanks!
I have an ALC/IC/PO switch from a 101
I recently had to go on eBay to purchase one of those.
Im sending you one also...plus a few parts@@TheRadioShop
@@lrspahn1974 Thanks, if you need my contact, it can be found in the description box.
I love old radios much better than the stuff nowadays
I am with you on that.
Big and chunky, easy to use unlike todays sets which are wonderful but too small to be useable with their tiny little switches and multi function buttons. My favourite receiver is the old Sanyo RP8880 from 1978, so easy to use , read and understand.
Yes I have the same set up here and worked on the FT-101E. Took me a while to get all the accessories but was worth it. Love the radio and should use it more than i do. To many transceivers and a little radio shack makes for not easy access to them. Thanks for sharing and will be following the next FT-101 videos.
Thanks for sharing. I know what you mean. I have very little room and need to expand.
