[Boatanchors] Lafayette HA-350

[Jerry Ingordo]

Hi Jeff.
The ARRL did a review of the HA-350 in December 1964 QST.  Its worth
reading, quite in depth.
Page 52 in the pdf.

Here's a link

https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-DX/QST/60s/QST-1964-12.pdf

I don't think they had a copy of the manual at the time of the review.

73s.

Thanks, Jerry.

Gotta love it when the block diagram identifies 2nd mixer V3 as a 6BE8 and
the schematic (and in reality) a 6BE6. The two tubes are not even close.

And thanks for the PDF.  It's much better than anything else I've seen ....
And I've seen a lot.

I actually think I may have an original manual somewhere ... I bought an
HA-350 brand new from Higgins & Scheer in Poughkeepsie, NY when I was
working there part time during high school +/- 1969. It replaced my
Hallicrafters S-107 and I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Propagation
was fabulous back then and I worked the world on CW and AM with my DX-60 /
HG-10. 

I now have about 5 of these radios and I'm thinning the herd - but I'll
never be without at least one to use!

73,
Jeff

Hi Jeff.
I have an HA-350 and encountered the same problem with the manual online,
BAMA I think.  Also the AVC circuit was different so I purchased an original
Lafayette manual and it was the same as the BAMA manual.  I did scan and
post it online to the ebaman site.

Good Luck with your project.
