I copied and pasted Nomads info into Word, and saved it as a Doc file for my 3 layered backup archive.

Great start ! As another hoarder, I also took it upon myself to arrange these files, enhance, plus crop to save file space.

See attached PDF for detailed info...

This particular 3 digit LED was salvaged from an old Kidde Nighthawk carbon monoxide alarm. Most of these carbon monoxide alarms start to signal “error” after about 3 or 4 years and need to be replaced, but IMO the LED readout is worth saving for various projects. I modified the following...

The Hygain 3077 is the first version of the Hygain 7 series (crystal matrix board). Although they're similar, there's 3 of them. The 3107 is the latest 02A PLL version. RV2 on page 2 of the pg21 - pg43 pdf is the modulation adjustment. Be sure to make a note of all the screw locations and the...

Spot on! Be very careful if you decide to test for heat with your finger on that back transistor. I had a customer burn her finger while she was removing that Pace. We never sold those, but only had taken a few of them in for parts on a trade deal. I remember trying to modify one using the push...

I recently screen captured this CB radio from the movie “Death Race.” The Hallicrafters Littlefone CB-3A was a popular 8 channel radio made back in 1962. I recall repairing and wiring a D104 desk mic to one of these for a friend.

I can’t remember what particular mic that I applied this mod to years ago. Anyway, I removed the existing contact assemble, and replaced it with a set of similar long bladed contacts taken from and old telephone relay. Those typically had stacks of multiple NO and NC contacts. I removed the...

Google turned up this location. Mike's Cb Sales & Service (920) 490-7640 2050 Marlee Ln Green Bay, WI 54304 Photo shows this is a ranch home in a residential area with no antenna in sight. Who knows?

Agreed..I replace them with an electrolytic only as a temporary solution, usually when I don’t have an exact replacement in stock. For the time being I wouldn’t worry too much about the stability of an AM only radio. It’s not SSB where drift needs to be kept to a minimum.

IMO There is a list of things that need to be done first to that radio. The corrosive glue needs to be removed. All the electrolytic caps need to be changed. Besides a thorough visual inspection, the glue and caps should all be taken care of before the power is employed. A new power plug and...

Did you try keying another radio nearby on the same channel to see if you get a meter deflection?

A modified version of a comic I saw on the web. A “caveat emptor” warning that should apply to anyone seeking an honest and reliable repairman. I may make some additional changes at a later date....Possible QSL card....LOL

Interesting post! I just had to research that behemoth a little further.. This is just a few links about the Rugby station's tuning inductor...

Tom tried to follow and be cool, but I think Janis schooled him with her energetic action.

I found the content of WBCQ “The Planet” to be a very diverse. Nowadays, I ‘m not enthused to listen very long with shortwave broadcasts that often fade with audio distortion. Unlike collecting QSL conformations like I did in my youth, I’m now interested only in their content. After looking at...

I noticed that CBtricks has a rather poor copy of Sam’s #207 for that radio. I have that book and will post a better version when time allows.
