    is it a grant or cobra

    I would say that radio was born a Uniden Grant xl. Seems like a lot of work but maybe the front face got damaged beyond repair at some point and they had a parts cobra available. Who knows really

    Cobra 148 gtl SSB Audio Flutter Malaysia Model

    What’s the history of the radio as in any mods tunes or final swaps? How are you powering it? If it has a tiny power cord you might be starving it.

    Delta Electronics DSP60M for $189 yes or no

    I am old school and really like my Astron 70m and 35m. If I was going to get something else I would get a Mega Watt, several locals have them and they work great.

    Best Small amp selection for SSB

    They should all be good for that. There are probably several other good builders out there, I just listed three off the top of my head.

    Best Small amp selection for SSB

    At this point there is no way I would pay 505 bucks for a new Texas Star 500. Your best bet is to contact Carl built, hopper built, 307 amps, or another builder and have them make you an amp. Yes it will have 4 HG2879’s but it will be just fine. Just my opinion.

    My Palomar 200 lives again !

    Interesting, it’s a 1x4 transistor amp but the model name is Palomar 200. What finals are in that? Glad you got it back up and running.

    Magnum Deltaforce Power Output

    I would not assume you have a bad final, these radio's are getting up in age. Might just need a good cleaning of all controls and re-check the alignment. Some times the VR pots can go bad as well. After that might be time for a re-cap. The old 1969 finals are very robust compared to new mosfets...

    Looking for info on Texas Star 350DX

    For decades the DX350 and 350 HDV are all 2 pill amplifiers with 2879 finals. They are what I have heard people say is a passive class AB that when heated up drifts into more of a class B operation. Some of the older models before they were called Texas Star said Bi-Lateral on them. If the...

    I am looking for the PTT and lock buttons in black for an Astatic 1104 desk microphone as pictured.

    I think this exact topic came up before. At this point some of these small plastic hard to find parts might have to be 3d printed.

    Galaxy DX-98VHP

    You do realize this was 8 years ago, and the post just above yours says SOLD to Eastside. That means a forum member named Eastside bought it.

    Texas star dx 500v

    On my Madison the audio is to tinny with a D104, I switched to a Turner Super Sidekick and that works well. The Uniden/President Madison is such a great old school radio. A DX 500v is perfect for that Madison I bet, nice.
