(y):)(y) Glad I was able to help....... Enjoy and good luck.....

I would guess the USA selling price to be north of $6,000 ........ Wouldn't surprise me to be $7,000 or more......

Get the gray, they are the standard. These connectors should be crimped with an industrial type crimp tool BEFORE you add the solder. I have had to repair a lot of them and amplifiers because of an insufficient electrical connection because they were not crimped first. You cannot get a good...

You know, a few years ago I had that same issue with the same meter. At the moment, I can't remember what I did to take care of it. I'll get that meter out and take a look.

Yeah, and with one tiny little tweak, the radio will be off so far on transmit, you probably will need some equipment to even get it close again. Those cans are very, very finicky without a very good test equipment quality frequency counter to let you know where it is........ People that know...

I would say NO. They can't get FCC certification for an amplifier to be sold in the U.S. if the amplifier can operate on 11 meters. Why would you be interested in operating this amplifier on 11 meters anyway ?

Hey David, how are those Toshiba's in the Kenwood ? I hope working just fine. Steve

Thank you David, you're too kind...

PM sent.

I just recently repaired a TS 500V for a good friend out in Arizona. He and I were able to scrape up a good used original set of Toshiba transistors. He had hit his with too much input drive also. Took out the transistors, some resistors, and a couple of capacitors. He is a happy camper now. I...

Yes, and it would have to be the HG brand transistors, The DEI's that Texas Star uses is no longer available........ You can look on ICA Manufacturing to get an idea of the transistors cost...... plus shipping costs.......

This looks to be a later model 500V Texas Star....... The Texas Star amplifiers are not very complicated to work on... Splitter and combiner failure definitely indicates a major failure..... Minimum, its looks it will require a complete set (4) power transistors, new combiner, possibly new...

I may have some that I won't be using....... I'll look..... How many are you needing ?

What is the purpose of these transistors? What effect do they have? The transistors are to amplify the power output.

Can't get those new anymore...... I have tried extensively....... Maybe find a good used one.......

It can probably be "fixed", but you shouldn't have to deal with something like that.......

Sounds like you may have to file a dispute with the credit card company....... Get a refund because of faulty merchandise the merchant will not take care of.

This is what it should look like coming from Texas Star purchased new...... Sure appears that someone had their inexperienced hands inside after it originally left Texas Star facility.......

It is a mobile amplifier. 12 volt mobile electrical systems actually operate continuously from 13.8 volts to 15 volts. I have found over the years that operating a mobile amp in a stationary station works best at about 14.2 volts to 14.7ish volts ...... And all is good at that voltage...

Either would be good. But with either the turnaround will be close to 8 months or longer.......
