I just got an R46B speaker to go with my SX101A. It needs paint, both in
the silver and the gray areas. Does anyone have a color match? Are there
decals available to replace ones I might paint over?
Also, this one has a switch connected to a board with a toroid and
capacitor. Anyone know what it's for?

The SX-99 has a 455 KHz IF. The 100/96 are at approx 50 KHz. Won't be the
same.

They are different. The 96 & the 100 are the same part # 54B053. The 99 is
part # 054-200051 which translates to # 54B051.

Is the BFO coil on the SX-99 the same as the BFO coil on the SX-96 and

Never heard of a WRL Globe Chief 90B. The Globe Chief
90 with the "flat" type cabinet (no overhang) and the
black meter; the Globe Chief 90A with the overhang
type of cabinet that started with the black meter and
then the clear plastic meter; and finally the Globe
Chief Deluxe. I would definitely like to see a photo
of any 90B.
The WRL advertisements in the various magazines went
from the 90A directly to the Deluxe. The 90A came out
in early 1958 and the Deluxe came out in 1960. Like
most of Leo's transmitters the 90A was on the market
for only a couple of years. He changed model numbers
almost like some people change socks!
Now, the Globe Scout had a 65B model that had 160
through 10 meters. It was replaced with the Globe
Scout 66 which was in the same cabinet as the Globe
Scout 680 and 680A both of which covered 80 through 6
meters. However, the 65 series, 66, and 680 series
used a 6146 in the final.

I'll go along with that. I bought a scanner over the net and the guy
shipped it in a box that was about an inch larger than the radio all the
way around with some Styrofoam peanuts around it which had shifted by
the time it arrive to the point that one end of the radio was entirely
unprotected. It functioned but had a broken plastic fold down foot.
Since then I specify that I want the equipment double boxed or the deal
is off.

Well I don't currently own any REAL radios. You know, the kind that
glow in the dark. In addition to the SX-101 I also have a hankering for
an SX-42 and if I get real brave I may go shopping for a complete
station. SX-101 / HT-32 / HT-33 all on one table. Of course that would
mean some additional support beams on the first floor under the shack.
Especially if I round it out with the SX-42 for general coverage.

My Globe Scout Deluxe also uses a single 6146 in the final.

I just received an S-107 MkII in rather poor condition, and have started to
repair it. A particular problem is that it is missing the 3rd.
IF transformer (T12) Part #050-300242.
Does anyone have a spare they'd like to sell me?
(Oh, and let me just vent about the seller of this receiver, who
shipped it in a box barely bigger than the cabinet, padded with
a few sheets of rolled up newspaper. Of course a couple of tubes
were smashed, and the case was bent. And she claims that "the
Post Office recommends newspaper as packing material"?!)

Yo Homoiothermous Homo Sapiens!
I'm back, so suck it up and shape up! I notice the 'Pond Scum Six' society
of
misanthropic malcontents are still loose upon the planet. Their insatiable
passion for pettiness, shameless pilgrimages into pilfering parts from the
digital watch still worn by a SK and flim flam lip waving to help super
inflate
their over blown Ego's which look like a pregnant Pumpkin expecting
quintuplets,
for like a funky foot fungus contracted from those sneakers you swiped from
the
Jock Shop hangout that digitally keeps a precise count of how many minutes
of
work you avoided this week by spraying the time clock with Free-Yawn Free
Plumber's Helper, you still can't pass 'Hitting The Urinal, Not The Wall
101'!
CROAK! There is hope! These six made the Ginnis book as the 'Worlds Least
Liked
Substances' by being denied admittance to swim in a sewer treatment plant
tank!
CROAK!
Remember the Pigeon nosed and snot kneed mortal who posted this:(He really
is a
cool dude, just got a few little genetic things he needs to evolve out of
during
the next forty reincarnations!)
Another picture of Max HB9RS at the ET3RS SR-500 console station was found
in the August 1965 QST on page 82. Shows the SR-500 console which includes
the SX-100 RX, HT-30 Exciter, and the HT-31 amp. There is a piece of
Collins gear on top and a great picture of HB9RS at the mic. Next to the
picture is a shoyt of Max standing on top of his tower below the 3 el 20
meter beam. Seems to be a three or four sided tower (maybe an Aerometer).
Bet Max won't stand on top of a tower now HI.
Still the only station I ever worked using the SR-500. I did not work Max
but visiting fireman Rundy then W3ZA (later k4ZA) who worked for Westrex
installing telephone and communications equipment.
Rundy was home based in Beirut then and I also worked him as W3ZA/EP, FL8ZA
(J28 now) and several Neutral Zones in saudi Arabia which have been deleted.
Reading these old magazines is great stuff especially the pictures even for
me with poor eyesight!

Dave, no offense old friend of the blind wand waving Magi with the lit

anytime, anywhere, and save a lot of cash on those unsterile cotton balls
with
Boll Weevil dung on them and fake wood sticks made from recycled tongue

Now HB9RS, Dr. Max dropped me an electronic Lily Pad alert that flipped me

Two digitally remastered audio segments of the incredible interview with

try

I will be on the air, or hanging from the stupid tower by one leg because my
foot slipped while trying to figure out which piece of 9913F feedline goes
to
the 20M double bazooka, at 1622 UTC, or 12:22 PM EDT. The pre-Net will
commence
at 12:45 PM EDT, (1645 UTC) and the Net proper at 1:15 PM EDT, (1715 UTC)
The frequency will be 14.293 MHZ usb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and
Frog

I just noticed the time. I am either up pretty darn late or up awfully darn
early! Whichever, hear you later today! Be there and be a part of Halligan
