Just wanted to say thank you to Jim K9AXN, Walt and the rest who
helped me along the way!? ?The radio is finished and really runs
and looks great!
It was a massive amount of work to get the rig back to factory
specs:
New caps in radio and PS
20 something resistors changed in radio and PS
Mica Caps and caps in VFO changed.
Carrier Null circuit had to be rebuilt with all new parts.
Ceramic band switch BLOWN to bits. Had to take it apart, drill
rivets and replace contacts (NOT FUN)
Impossible to find NPO trimmers located and replaced.
Mechanical gears on VFO off alignment (another fun job)
Annoying 40 cycle offset on TX fixed
FULL alignment.
Cleaning of chassis, panel, knobs.
Tubes replaced
Fan serviced
Cabinets stripped and powder coated.
All new SS hardware.
Had new P2000 rear panels made at a sign shop.
Its very stable. It does not require adjustment of VFO in an
evening of use.? If turned on and left to run 20 minutes its back
exactly to the cycle it was when you turned it off.? Remember, I
have two SR2000s. The second one should be finished this week. I
am waiting on parts. It had the exact same treatment.? One will be
sold.? I don't care which one I keep. They are the same. If you
want one please let me know.? Its in PHX AZ and I would hate to
ship the PS. I guess it could be done somehow.
Some videos of it running:
