Sounds like someone couldn't afford the taxes or some such and just told the city here you go...... City is probably going to sell it or at least the land. At that time they might entertain a bid on the equipment but will probably attach all kinds of strings. You know how politicians gotta do business to make it look like they're actually doing something in the public's interest.

Subject: [AMRadio] Mica vs Paper
Message-ID: <207f879a-8254-a6c3-560a-dd9e98611879@att.net>

According to the Construction Practices chapter in the 1955 ARRL 
Handbook, if you hold a 6-dot cap so the arrows point to the right, the 
upper leftmost of the 6 dots indicates whether the cap is a mica or 
'molded paper'.

If the dot is black, it's mica, if it's silver, it's molded paper. This 
designation is in accordance with the AWS (American War Standards) or 
JAN (Joint Army-Navy) specs.? If the cap has only 3 dots, it is ALWAYS 
an RETMA 500 volt 20% mica cap.
If there are 6 dots, and the upper-left dot is NOT black or silver, the 
cap is an RETMA mica cap.

I am attaching a PDF file of the page which describes these caps. If 
they don't come through, email me at mharmon at att dot net and I'll 
send it to you.

That is very sad news indeed. Never got back out to Dayton in time to meet
Gary, but we talked many times over the air. He was always a gentleman and
always had a solid signal with plenty of good audio.

May God be with his family at through this tough time. Thank you, Rob, for
letting us know.

Heard last night and confirmed this morning that Jack K9ACT had a fire
recently at his QTH.  Jack and XYL Marylin and the house were all
spared along with their livestock (sheep and chickens) but everything
else lost.   If you ever had the pleasure of visiting Jack's QTH you
will remember his very nicely equipped shop with at least one lathe
and other metal work tools, his shack with homebrew 2 x 8000 rig and
other gear and tools, plus Jack and XYL were into beer making, cheese
making, and spun and wove their own clothes with a wool loom from the
wool sheared from their sheep.  All that plus barn and greenhouse are
gone.

Jack reported on the Noon Time Forum reflector that he will be QRT for
a time.  Says that now he knows how TimTron felt after his fire.  I
hope we can all provide Jack with any assistance he might need, once
he is ready to start anew.

Hello All!

I have recently acquired a Globe Champion 350 which will need some 
attention. I have read on many posts about converting the finals to the 
8043/5894 in lieu of the AX9099 tubes. I have seen references to other 
tube final tube mods for this radio as well.

My problem is that I cannot find any documentation describing the 
procedure.? Is there anyone that can provide some insight as to where I 
might find the schematic mod for this radio?

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure but I think Jim W5JO did some kind of conversion to
a different tube but I don't remember what he did.

I recall that Hoisy Hosington w4cjl (sk) used a 7094 in his Champ. I did a conversion too, way back in the early 1980's. I used a pair of 4-65's.




I am not aware of any conversion instructions. Instead, a sense of adventure, a tube manual, and some experimentation is required. The original ax9909 tubes had 12v filaments. Adding a 6.3v filament transformer is easy, with plenty of room.

Happy New Year to all.

I have this Knightkit R55A receiver that seems to be working pretty good now, even though the sens is not that great.  AM with 10db S+N/N is around 3 uv, up to 40 meters, but a detectable CW signal is in the -120dbm range.  The 6 meter band is hopeless. They should have put in an RF amp and another stage of tuned circuits like in the R100, but for 60 bucks back in the 1960's era to a  Novice, was probably a pretty good bet. The MVC position basically grounds the circuit and runs the rig and full gain, but in AVC, it lets that circuit runs the show.  One thing I can say for it, is that Knightkit designed a really good AVC circuit, I can hit it with 0dbm and it immediately compensates and gives good fidelity, where it will block solid around -30dbm in MVC, and why they call it MVC is odd as there is no manual gain control to turn.  This receiver has a 1650KC IF strip, and it does work on the BC band just fine, but wondered exactly what is going on when I tune to 1650 on the AM dial.  Guessing I have the equivalent of a direct conversion radio.

Hi Bob,

Thank you - I believe that Issue was September of 1997 by my friend, 
K9RJ... Well, he was such a nice guy, I think he was everybody's friend. 
When I first moved back to Illinois and decided to get back into AMing, 
he was the first person I wanted to get in touch with again. It was a 
real let down for me when I found that he had passed. I have very good 
memories of Jim and the group on the Midwest Classic Radio Net when I 
first started taking check ins. I think we had only 7 that first 
Saturday, and Jim was one of them.

Anyhow, W5JO has offered to lend some of his info on the 8643 
conversion, and it just so happens that I won a pair just a few minutes 
ago on eBay. Guess I am committed!

Thanks for responding,

Mark

Thanks to those who responded for your input on the Globe Champ 
Conversion. W5JO has offered to send some documentation on his 
successful conversion to the 8643. I am looking forward to that.

Best,

Mark

Subject: [AMRadio] WTB - Johnson Valiant II-style knob
Message-ID: <3237c64e-7565-668f-135c-3773b8f6efaa@att.net>

A couple of years ago, I found a nice Valiant II that someone has 
removed the "Drive" knob from when they replaced the pot.? (They also 
made a mess of replacing the power switch, but that's a different story!).

The replacement pot has a trimpot-style 1/8" slotted shaft which I guess 
they operated with a screwdriver.? I have a 25K 5W pot to replace the 
trimpot with, but I have no knob for the shaft.? This is one of the 
aluminum fluted knobs with the triangular pointer.? I know there weren't 
that many Johnson radios which used that particular knob, but I sure 
would love to find one for the old girl.

If any of you have an extra Valiant II-style knob, I want to talk to you!

Thanks!

Many of you may have known Mike, he has been a regular on 3.890 for many 
years.  You could hear him regularly in the mornings and some afternoons.

We lost Mike Friday to a massive heart attack.  Mike had his first heart 
attack in his mid 30 and had been very careful since then.

The AM community is a bit smaller today and it is a sad thing.

Details for his funeral, if any, are pending.  No obituary has been posted.

73,

Jim

Wow, what a shock.? Mike was a true gentleman, welcoming in newcomers 
like myself without reservation.? He will be missed indeed
