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.

Yea looks like they are down to2290’s https://www.rfparts.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=2sc2290

OMG I thought that rocket box crap finally went away. For what they want for those on eBay no thanks.

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.

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.

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...

Here is their web site. https://www.lightningantennas.com/ The forum does have a private message option, just click on a members name and then click start a chat.

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 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.

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.

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.

It's a great combo for sure. You do have to credit a good bit of that audio quality to that high end desk mic you are running. With that mic you could run a Uniden 122xl and a KL203, people would swear you were on a 7300 or 2995.

The 93T is way too hot for any amplifier with a driver stage. That radio has a single 2290 final, it was one of the early higher powered radio's back in the day. To make it work with a 2 pill 2879 amp you will have to keep the power dialed back. A class AB or B biased 4 pill from one of the...

Wow, great job but it’s too bad really to see all this surface mount crap these days. Just take me back to do the 80’s all over again.

Plug an external speaker in and see how it sounds. Haven’t run a stock radio speaker in 20years.

Agreed

Think what you want, it’s a super rare RCI radio. In today’s crazy E-bay world that is a 500-600 dollar radio. Is it worth that, no. Will someone pay that, yup.

Best bet would be to send him a PM, if you click on his name you will see it was last year when he was last on the forum. Since this post is 8 years old in todays’s market that’s probably a $600 radio now. Good luck.

Steele here is an old thread talking about the channel king mod. https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/uniden-980-ssb-crowdsource-the-frequency-mod.153090/
