Re: New to me TR7
|
Guys, Thanks for all the great responses! I can't wait to get into this. I'm the type that if I don't have time to atleast put in several hours over a couple of days, I don't start. That's why it'll be a couple weeks until I get started on it. I'm still gathering?opinions etc. Yes I do have a service manual. It's digital, not a book. I have repaired stereos, and just yesterday a 2 meter radio by cleaning plugs on circuit boards. I remember in the 60's and 70's my Dad taught?me... if you're fixing a tube radio, first thing?is to take out the tubes and reinsert them and see what happens. I can't tell you guys how many times that worked! Same idea with the plug in circuit boards. Second simple thing I've seen many times is cleaning a band switch and/or other switches like craig mentioned about the PBT switches etc. My gut feeling with this is that it won't?need much?to get it going. When I first got licensed one of my first ham friends had a TR7 so there's always been a place in my heart for these and always thought it would be nice to operate one. It took 30+ years but here it is! Yes even at 67 years old (or is it young) I still am like a kid at Xmas time with a new radio! 73, Bob W4JFA On Tue, Mar 18, 2025 at 8:01?AM Jim Shorney via <jimNU0C=[email protected]> wrote:
