ok looked up the unit here is what he said.... "The important solid state rectifier modification was done making the tester much more consistent and eliminating the need for that big #83 rectifier tube that keeps the unit hot all the time."

Hello Chris, what do you mean by leakage ?

Been thinking about this repair for a while and I realized that I could just put a wire through there is there any reason a stranded wire cannot replace a solid wire ? https://www.flickr.com/photos/152106896@N03/54255811940/in/datetaken/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/152106896@N03/54255614988/in/dat...

Hello guys. Purchased a new to me tube tester B&K dyna jet 707 . Been having fun doing the testing. one of the problems with buying stuff like this is you may have to refurbish it before you can use it. I purchased this one because the guy said he had gone through it completely and did a transis...

William, IDK so strange, I watch a lot of these auctions and this should have been gone long ago. 13 weeks now.

Hi Mogul, I know bad math. Stereo seems like two but in this case three. Its because of the selector switch in the imperials and concert grands . in this case it would be switch position B.

Hi William , Here is Seans console just like the one advertised. They put the AMP 182 (30 watts) off to one side, but wouldn't the wiring been cleaner if it was on the other side?

Hello Guys, This looks really nice and complete with a matching speaker

Hi guys, Saw this on the other side of the country from here. looks nice.

It looks to me to be a original Ebony unit because the rear and inside are black from when they built it. It has the remote chassis, So it's a 59 or 60? it still has the magic eye. My ebony continental looked dull like that until I cleaned it really well and polished it. The top glass is gone which ...

Hello all, Dont know what to think of the grill cloth but could be a really nice unit.

Hello guys, Here we go I got the CG back together and the fasteners I needed Plugged it in and it worked for a few minutes then turned off ! After a bit. I realized it was a power issue and the PO had installed a fuse holder in the power supply A gmc 10 amp so off to the hardware store. Installed it...

Hello guys. so in my defense its been forever since I soldered something, Here were the issues. I ended up taking a file to the tip and then I went and got the rest of the supplies and put the tip in the flux while it was hot and then put a nice smooth coating of solder onto the tip. I guess it's ca...

Hello Guys, Today I broke out my grandfathers soldering iron ( big Weller gun with he 2 prong tip) and was installing a power cord onto the power supply of the CG. I had to solder two wires end to end. First I tinned both wires. then I tried to hold them together and with the iron and solder togethe...

Hello Guys I received the .75 Barlow lens today and installed it on the microscope. It seems to be the perfect magnification 3.5 x 45 now. It should give a lot of hours of fun.

Hello Guys, I drove to Nevada and picked up the components of the concert Grand. Steve was really patient and we finally arrived (this trip a friend helped me with the driving ). Today I unpacked the components and started to install them. When I disassembled the stereo there was a mismash of screws...

Hello, yes that's exactly what I am saying. An example was when the the eye tube in the old chassis of the ebony continental was fluctuating you guys immediately nailed it as a B+ issue and it was determined to fix it before damage was done. That was a newly recapped amp and 5401 preamp ! I think I ...

Hello guys, I have sent my stuff out to several different people to be worked on, And I have realized that each one has fixed them just enough to get working. They dont stay working long ! That got me to thinking about just replacing every component in the amp. I mean literally making lists of each ...
