Hard to believe that this thread started was back in '11! Was looking over the archived bits of the old post which causes me to ask a few question. I have recently acquired a BC-230 and would like get it on the air. This is what I have to work with: 1-BC-230,2-VT25 (801's), 2-6A3's, and 1- T/U C-383 4.0 to 4.495MC.
Can the C-383 be adjusted or modified the cover the 80/75mtr band? Or will I have find the appropriate coil set for the band? Do the 6A3's seem like good replacements for VT-52's?
I know that AB5S was working on some other replacement tubes to use and can up with the 6AQ5 as one that workouted fine were there others?? 5763 and 12BY7's I think where mentioned. Is there a source for the power plug?? I could probably make one up but if I can buy one that would be better. Where can I find a good copy of the schematic??
Tnx for your help especially Dave AB5S
And if anyone has a spare t/u 80 or 40 mtrs
Would like to hear from you. I have some spare
SW-3 coils maybe was could swap??
