Well, 2+ years later and round 2 with norms. Sent an email almost a week ago with no reply. That place makes it hard to spend a couple $K's Took me a few as i guess i deleted some old emails and didn't remember this thread until i did a little searching. Looks like ill take my business to DX...

Posting here also in case some folks dont look at the hambone buy/sell forum. Looking for a T2X Rotor. If you have one that needs a new home please let me know.

I like wegawatt supplies for running radios and accessories like fans but they dont hold up well running in parallel or running amps. Ive had one for 3 years that runs my 955 and a few fans and i love it.

On the off chance someone here has a T2X rotor that needs a home please let me know as im in the market.

Last time i shipped my 955 for a mod it was $32 from Florida to Georgia usps priority, another $32 back and that was over 2 years ago. Gotta be near $40 now Why is my keister sore?

Apples and oranges. We're not driving 1000 packages at once so the cost comparison isnt valid imo. The problem for me comes when shipping prices inflate when fuel prices rise but never deflate when fuel prices drop. Seems to me shipping companies are screwing the consumer.

I know it's a little old but ive seen where usps is now charging extra for boxes over certain sizes. I do all i can to avoid shipping anything large. Parcels that are longer than 22 inches but less than 30 inches will see a $4.00 surcharge. Parcels that exceed 30 inches in length will incur a...

Unfortunately like everything else quality potentiometers have disappeared and whats left of the old quality parts are expensive if they're even available. Shit an arco 425 is $30 if you can find one. Ive talked to countless old school amp techs and they all say the same thing, once the parts...

Its better than it was. Looking at the original rubber insulator under magnification showed several cracks.

Yeah i considered that too and i may still roll that direction. But until then this is what i came up with.

Yeah i looked but it appears to be the same design. So i found an N x so239 adapter and by pushing the center pin on the N side the entire inside slides right out. I have a little more modifying to do but i should have it done tonight.

Well im tired of noise from all 4 corners all at once and dug out a sy4 set i bought used several years ago. Time to put the ground plane away for a while. After stripping it down for cleaning and what not i noticed the so239 gamma stud came apart quite nicely. My issue is the so239 insulator...

I appreciate you helping me out. At that time you didn't have to take on more work but you did and i was glad to help you in return. I was impressed with Dirtys wifi 1600, that amp was nice. Unfortunately i dont know where it is but i could probably find out. 521 had an extensive collection of...

Here's a new mod v listing, just popped up today. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275661838222?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5336136228&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

So i have the 2950 for ssb driving my Peakaboo modded DX500 and the 3300 is a backup to the 955. One of the 29's is a bench radio and the others i have set up for driving different amp, spares or are waiting for mods. The 696 needs ssb aligned and some junk removed before it will be up for sale...

1 955 5 29's 1 2950dx 1 ranger 696 1 pc78 1 pc76 theres probably a few im missing, oh yeah my connex 3300 lol. Hows that 138xlr?

Depends, davemade or davemade mobi aka joe? Not too long ago i saw a very unflattering video of one of Joes new "builders" and it wasnt pretty.

Yep but back then everything was cheaper, hell everything was cheaper until the last election. I find them locally for 100-150 sometimes but the supply of used texas star amps has dried up in the last few years. It used to be they would pop up on my saved searches on several sites daily but i...

Here's one on Ebunk and its less than what id sell mine for... https://www.ebay.com/itm/175585931729?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5336136228&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

He also has items no one else has. When i first went to his shop back in 89 it looked like a hoarder house but that man knew everything he had and exactly where to find it. Hes definitely OCD.
