This is a Great site. Progress and one question on my Valiant Restoration.
I bought an assembly manual and started from the back and completely
disassembled, bagged, & tagged & tested all components down to the bare
chassis in reverse order.
Now I am starting from the fromt and it is starting to come together
Had to spot weld the chassis corners. I think the chicken banders
actually used it as a Boat anchor.
I have now cleaned chassis and installed all new tube sockets and
terminal strips, and have just about finished building a complete new
wiring harness.
This is where I need some help.
The specs in the assembly manual calls for 10 ft of RG-59 coax 75 ohm.
I would like to find the miniture type. Regular RG-59 is too thick &
stiff to work with in there
The original harness contained coax without any plastic sheath. It is
about 1/8" diameter and very flexable
Does anyone have some laying around they want to sell, or where can I
buy some?
There are 4 coax leads hooked to V-12,, First & Second Audio
Any recommendations as to what type coax I should use and where can I
buy it.
I also have a working Valiant in the shack and doing a little cleanup
and re-tubing and replacing R-13 before I put it on the air.
This is my GO TO site for info on my projects.
Many thanks Frank KI0RQ
