Mallette 4587 Posted February 5, 2014 Hard to tell from the small image, but can it do a UV201? Dave Quote Link to comment
minermark 20383 Posted February 5, 2014 Hard to tell from the small image, but can it do a UV201? Dave Just got home and its in the back of the truck, ill know in a couple of hours. It does need rerpair, should be no biggie, I planned on that. Quote Link to comment
minermark 20383 Posted February 5, 2014 it list their replacements, that must be a 40s 50 s tube, my guess. Quote Link to comment
minermark 20383 Posted February 5, 2014 Im finding at the moment, I cant do Chit, I don't have an old tube....dam. Pulled the main face panel off, looks brand new inside, i'll be dammed if im going to stick in one of my KT88s from my amps just to see if this works. Ill go to the swap meet this weekend, get some tubes to run known values with. We have Denio's swap meet in Roseville, one square mile of rows, and rows of everything you can think of, besides iv been hankering for a CornDog and a six dollar Budwiser lately.

Mallette 4587 Posted February 7, 2014 I've about 12 UV201s and never found a way to test them. They LOOK good, but the only way to fire up the old radio they are in/came with (there were a sixpack of possibly NIB tubes in the battery compartment) is with a 90V DC power supply. Don't have one and they are NOT cheap. Dave Quote Link to comment
