I had looked and looked for a manual and found others have also inquired about a service manual for the RF-888 w/o any success. Al, you did your homework but - there's always a fly in the ointment, this fly is called, "Panasonic". The saying that a rose by any other name is still a rose doesn't apply to Panasonic radios, even if they look alike. I have the "RF-888", you provided me with a manual for the "RF-888JB" but wait, there's more! There's also the RF-888LP and the Cougar RF-888 and National Panasonic GX-300 - all basically the same model, different circuitry! I had stumbled onto this a few days ago by looking at all the web pages with 888 models, lots and lots of them. Think it was RadioMuseum that showed the circuitry of the GX-300 (888JB) it shows two TO-66 style transistors (2SB473 - Germanium PNP) heat sinked by a large piece of aluminum on one board. The RF-888 I have has two TO-126 style transistors (2SC1568 - Silicon NPN) sinked by, ah, a piece of tin foil by comparison. I think they upper the output wattage for the speaker on those other models. Might I be able to get more gain and up my speaker's output wattage or is this not recommended/easy to do? However, I do believe the manual you found will allow me to adjust the dial scale film on my radio but I will have to look closely at the circuitry before I attempt anything else. Panasonic made some great radios, but each model could have different bands depending on the country it was sold in and therefore different circuits too.

In the past I had followed a Sony radio group but found that the spammers started to out post the regulars by a ton and I stopped using Yahoo. I wasn't going to go from germanium to silicon, just hoped to tweak a resistor or two on the output transistors if they could be driven a bit more. Even the signal coming into them could be raised(?) but that could throw off the circuit, might overdrive the output transistor. Just thinking out loud. I did get the dial drive assembly out thanks to the manual. Now for the fun part, getting all the parts back into the cabinet, it's very cramped in there. The "rust" as the previous owner called it was actually corrosion on the positive battery contacts from battery acid. I used the dremel w/a wire wheel to clean them but started looking for battery contact replacements at Mouser. Plenty of AA, AAA and CR2 contacts but I need ones for for D cells. Anyone have favorite sites for finding various battery contacts? It's the positive side, no springs. The Mouser site uses Keystone Electronics battery contacts. Here's where salvaging parts over the yrs sometimes pays off but I don't have any contacts that will fit this radio in my collection. What cleaner do most of you folks use on the pots and switches? I've been using DeoxIT D5 but see that Nu-Trol is also a fav for a lot of people. I've cleaned the cabinet and wonder if Griot's Vinyl and Rubber Dressing is a good choice for finishing the cabinet? Other choices? njarc-request at mailman.qth.net wrote: > Send NJARC mailing list submissions to > njarc at mailman.qth.net > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/njarc > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > njarc-request at mailman.qth.net > > You can reach the person managing the list at > njarc-owner at mailman.qth.net > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of NJARC digest..." > > > Visit our web site - See http://www.njarc.org > _______________________________________________ > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

And I do know what kind of amp it is. Sears Solid-State LA 35 model 257,14235800 with 50 watts peak power and two 10? 8? woofers. I just don?t know who the manufacturer was and therefore cannot find the service manual for it. The problem with it is that it sounds like a transistor radio running on half dead batteries. It has heavy distortion, like it?s not getting enough power. It also has a 120 cps buzz that?s not from the filter caps. They?re good and the bridge rectifier has all good diodes. I found several electrolytic caps and several resisters that were WAY off ? some over 50% ? both caps and resisters. One would think that after changing all that - - - there would be at least some improvement... NOPE! not one bit ? lol The voltages look normal too, but I can?t be sure without the technical data. Does anyone have a small magic wand I could borrow? 73, Chuck AC2DP From: TrainBee Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2017 11:18 AM To: cpaci1 at verizon.net Subject: Re: [NJARC] Service manual needed for Sears Roebuck 1423 Guitar Amplifier Hi Chuck, I ran across this problem with another piece of electronics. If you ever come across a Kenwood KPS-15 switching power supply, you'll never find it via Kenwood. It was actually made my Samlex. I'd guess if you look over the components in your Amp. real carefully, and the chassis, there might just be something to give the real manufacturer away. Then you'll have to backtrack that information. This is probably the Heathkit of guitar amps, in that your only clue is to match it with photos to another similar amp. That's going to be a tremendous amount of work. I can only imaging the thousands of amps produced over the years and the corresponding variations. If you've got the years narrowed down, then it would make the research easier. So, what's the problem? Is it more than bad caps? If it's transisitors, then take the numbers on them and see if you can cross reference them to current parts. When I was living in NJ, GreenBrook electronics came through for me. Also, HBF Electronics on State Rd. in Philadelphia might be of help. 215-338-1100. (no website) Good luck and 73.

The mgr. date is around the early 70s (69-72). I heard somewhere that many of the Sears guitar amps may have been made by a company called Dana Electronics ? or something like that. There are no stamps, tags or markings on the chassis at all, Only the tag on the back of the cabinet (see attached) I did find a schematic identified as ?Sears Silvertone Model 1423? (see below), but this is not to the amp I have??? 73, Chuck From: TrainBee Sent: Monday, January 09, 2017 9:57 AM To: cpaci1 at verizon.net Subject: Re: [NJARC] Service manual needed for Sears Roebuck 1423 Guitar Amplifier Chuck, Chances are that someone else made the Amp. Is there anything else on the chassis that might help to give us a better clue? Can you narrow the manufacture date down to a decade? If I had to guess, it just might be a Lafayette from the 1970's. Does it have a Jensen speaker? This might be some help... http://www.silvertoneworld.net/ Good luck.

Sears guitar amp Message-ID: <9AAD5554-1D8E-4214-B1D2-CB2A88E280DF@optonline.net> Sounds like a shorted output transistor. Is the hum still there with the volume control at minimum? If you can determine the output transistors' leads, measure the voltage across the emitter - collector leads of each transistor. The output transistors act like a voltage divider, so you should measure 1/2 the supply voltage across each transistor. A shorted emitter-collector will have 0 voltage across it, and the other transistor will have full voltage. However, if it's a base-emitter or base-collector short this method may not be conclusive.

Here is the solution. [Post] Just a simple loop. What threw me was that I was looking for what I thought was a more complicated dial string set up. In the photo you will see that there is a HOLE that the string runs through going from the drum pulley to the band selector pulley. That hole exists on both sides of the radio chassis I thought it was just the way the radio supports were made. The other side (Right) has no string going through it. I was able to find a Silvertone on youtube that with the automatic dialing. I froze the vid and was able to barely make out the string pattern and it going through the hole. I enhanced the pic, edited and blew it up. Btw I used a rubber band from a vcr instead of string. Worked great, no slack to contend with.

Venezuelans: not so active, especially on 750. Usually strong, but not there the past two nights. Thought I heard Radio Rumbos (Venezuela) but couldn?t get a clear ID. R. Reloj is very active and easy to ID. Found the stateside stations to be a little more elusive. KXEL is strong, but the Florida and Texas stations haven?t been so this week. Some interesting low power stations near me with great programming, but not much for the DX aspect. All in all, conditions are not that bad. Not as good as it was the week before the contest, but that?s the way the signal bounces?

All the tubes have good filaments, and both transformers checked good, after a minor heart failure. My heart sunk when I measured the transformers, as the both appeared to have both windings open, 225-450 megohms. However, they're not. The leads for each winding do not come out on same side. So they both have a 4.2K and a 1.15K winding, phew! The rear of the front panel also has the holes labeled, matching the front, in addition to the word "Carnival". Perhaps the same panel was used for different models? Also, you'll notice a crack on the left side next to the "Horn" label. Fortunately the crack does doesn't carry through to the front. Just have to be very careful not to flex the panel. With this and your information on to more detective work. Thanks again.

Caught a woman speaking Spanish on both freq's, sounded like the same voice(?). Then heard a man's voice on both freq's but the signal from WSCR Chicago buried 670. Tried nulling Chicago out with some success but could not confirm the simulcast signal on both freq's again. Around 12:40 I heard two Spanish stations on 670, tuned to 600 and there were now two Spanish stations there. Finally grabbed a second radio and hoped to hear the same voice/music on both freq's as you pointed out. For a moment 600 had music coming in pretty loud before it faded and I think I did hear the same "horn" sound on 670 after 600 faded. Frustrating with so many stations trying to claim the same freq. But this may be the 1st time I've logged Cuba in ages. No go on 750am, Toronto 740 and Atlanta 750 were too strong. njarc-request at mailman.qth.net wrote: > Send NJARC mailing list submissions to > njarc at mailman.qth.net > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/njarc > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > njarc-request at mailman.qth.net > > You can reach the person managing the list at > njarc-owner at mailman.qth.net > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of NJARC digest..." > > > Visit our web site - See http://www.njarc.org > _______________________________________________ > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

I fabricated dipoles cut to resonate at the TV channels on which I'm broadcasting. Obviously VHS is the best choice for vintage sets, but I also chose channel 16 for my flat panel sets in the belief that there wasn't much going on on that frequency around here (I could be wrong) and that my dipole would be a more manageable size than a VHF one. Later on I realized to my mild embarrassment that a VHF antenna isn't going to take up appreciably more room anyway.

I rescued it from a barn in 1963. At that time I was able to get it to work, but a few years ago I turned it on and the plates of the type 80 rectifier started glowing, so I quickly turned it off. If I pull out the 80 and turn it on, all of the tubes light up. It at least needs new filter capacitors. The chassis is rusty and the tuning knob does not turn the tuning capacitors. When I was in High School, I used to fix vacuum tube radios and later TVs, so i could probably get it to work, but at this stage of life we are trying to reduce our possessions. Do you think that anyone at the New Jersey Antique Radio Club would like to have it? Thanks, Robert Wilson -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Unlike some of the other items from the ?Mad Man?, I think he wanted to make a lightweight car that would compete with the Corvette. Never saw one in person, but I?ve seen them go across the auction block for in excess of (6) figures. Corvettes came out in 53, and were six cylinder until 55 when you could get a V8 (265 cu. in.) at about half way into the model year. There were a few other companies trying to make light weight cars in the same era mostly with fiberglass or stripped down metal bodies. I believe the ?Muntz? was the only aluminum body of that era.

Unfortunately, I don't have this in my Philco Service sheets file. The Rider's sheet seems to be missing the version I have. There are factory installed parts that aren't on the Rider's sheet. Would anyone have a Philco Service Sheet for the 49-909 code 121 or a Sam's sheet 2-49, Set 55, Folder 17? My area of trouble, so far, is in the IF, Det and AVC section. I'm trying to find out what should be connected to the + end of the 2MF cap coming off of Pin 2 of the 19T8. There is a 200K 1W resistor, but it's not on the schematic and, by all appearances, is factory installed. Thanks in advance for your help.

I want to replace the cloth but, try as I might, I simply can't figure out a way to remove it. So, if anyone has ever done so, I sure would like to know how. Thanks very much.

See: http://rtm.ar88.net/resources/miniA/ We're expecting upward of 80 kids. They will be divided into two groups, that will rotate through the two 1-hour exercises. There will be 10-12 subgroups for each exercise. What we need: *Manpower: * * We need a few more assistants. Ten might not be too many. No special skills necessary. * These are smart kids. They follow directions, and are fun to work with. *Hardware (loan): * * Digital AM portable radios for the Listening Exercise * Simple analog FM portable radios for the Transmitter Exercise. * Tool Kits: Long-nosed pliers, diagonal cutter, tweezers. (They're just poking parts into the solder-less breadboard.) Obviously, the best situation is if you can volunteer an even's time and bring equipment. Let me know via email, but call if you need to discuss: 908-892-5465 (10AM - 10PM) Thanks, Al -- Al Klase ?
