Hello all,One of our newest SARA members, Maurice Miller, has just passed his Extra exam, and been assigned thecall sign AC1HF.  We would like to congratulate him on his achievement of getting re-licensed after several years of inactivity.Maurice is now working to bring his Hammarlund HQ180 back to life after several years of idle time.He is looking to borrow a tube tester to go through all the tubes.Can anybody help him out?Maurice is reporting that when he turned on the rig on after multiple years of idle time, all the tubes feel warm from the filament heat, but he's getting zero audio output.I know the GNARC gang includes some boat anchor restoration aficionados, so do any you guys have experienceworking on a Hammarlund HQ180 and bringing it back to life?Thanks, and 73,Terry________________________________________________CTSARA mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/ctsaraHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:CTSARA at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.htmlAll posts must be sent in Plain Text, no HTML.
