      EBay has lapel mics that plug in your phone brother, clip it to your collar and get the ratchet jawing. 73

    nice old TS ! that hotplate is older than mine. mod v looks the same. I got 2290 X8 100Pf caps . had CW board. and thermal switch for fans. After about a year of new I opened it up made some changes. power wire to 10 AWG OFC X8 . I took out keying transistor and put RCA jack for PTT . took out remote jack never use it. never pot the MOD V on it. bought together. MOD V is my bench amp driver now. I used 10 AWG zip cord. I never got the OEM fan kit. I just stuck 1- 120mm fan on it. I do not drive hard so does not get hot. I took out that thermal switch and put a lower temp NC one. KDS 301 type to drop relay when hot. I did work on a much newer sweet sixteen. was a 2X8 . has a small fuse on input coax . over drive pop the fuse. has 1 fan and a ab/c switch. the 2 pill driver on bottom of lid. just did power wire and SB 350 connector. all customer wanted. that hot plate does not have jack for fan kit and vents on pill side. I think MRF 492 was used may be 421.the TNT 1200 has 10 -MRF 492 in it. 2X8 class C box. so most likely 492 . the wraps and caps . I have fixed a few with DEI pills. 73's

      Insano. Man they getting hard to find. I accidentally walked up on 3 sweet 16s. Bought them for 400.00 each. Hurt my pocketbook at the time. However I sold one for 650.00 and the other two I kept. One I can use base with a power supply I built. The other is in my Ram truck.

    What was rattling around inside the litter modulator and God I hope the owner stayed with the Toshiba final over the 1446. I know lots of people like 1446 finals but I've never had good luck with them. Four amps with those and all 4 would drop watts like a waterfall with in a few minutes.
