[Motorola] Vintage Motorola Trans. / Rec. separate Chassis....30D???

[Geoff Fors]

The last two piece mobile radios made by Motorola were the Deluxe Line, as 
in FMTR-30D which had an FMR-13V receiver and one of several possible 
transmitters, all using dynamotors (unless AC base station configured) such 
as FMT-30D or FMT-25V.   But those use an 807 in the PA stage.

After that the only two piece sets were the motorcycle radios to 1958 and 
the Stan-Pac railroad radios, but the railroad radios were in a steel rack 
without cabling between the decks (there were sockets and built-in harnesses 
in the rack.)   The motorcycle sets were in black gloss boxes about 17 
inches long and used strips from the 5V, 41V or Twin-V mobiles.  If it's a 
motorcycle set, don't part it out, those are almost extinct today.  I still 
haven't found the a receiver box for the example in my "museum."

Hello Group,

I acquired a Motorola low band FM transmitter and receiver, in separate 
chassis, connected together with with cabling. Got these from a Ham friend, 
about 40 yrs. ago. He had modified the units to six meters. These are too 
ancient to restore, but I am tempted to part them out.

I am after the possible model # and any documentation, so I can identify the 
power transformer(s) and various other components. I believe the 
interconnect cables are salvageable.

I have no idea if parts from these radios are collectible. I think the 
xmitter uses one 6146 for PA.

I guess any model numbers from that vintage would get me started.

Oh, BTW, I have a Motorola FM digest (Red Book), but this type is not 
listed!

Can anyone lead me in the right direction?


Regards,

Tim
