Anyone have a Triplett 801 VOM with the manual. I need a copy of the manual and will pay costs.

On one of them, the internal VFO was worse than usual in that it would hop around like FSK. The problem was the tuning capacitor rotor contact to ground. I spent days messing with the sliding contacts (before my short range vision flew the coup), and other aspects of that tuning condenser. At one point I was so PO'd that I took channel locks and mashed it as tight as I could while venting my frustration. As expected all the plates were mashed together since I willingly destroyed the condenser in a fit of rage. This was not a high moment in my ham radio career. I looked to see what I had done, and on impulse I grabbed a large flat blade screwdriver, and pried the stator plates the other way. I did this without care, or precision since my anger still had not subsided. Then to my astonishment, the plates looked aligned! Further inspection with good light, and the plates were perfectly aligned. So I turned on the G-76, and to my surprise the FSK habit had went away, and the dang thing was stable! A True Story!

The vfo seems stable, but it's a bit touchy to tune as its got a little knob. The transmitter (and receiver) audio is somewhat poor stock, but can be improved a bit with the usual tweaks. I got it as good as its likely to get without serious tube and iron changes, and there is no room for other iron. The transceiver is quite small, about the size of a shoe box. I used to have 2 of them, and they seem indestructible, swr? who cares, rough handling? who cares! We used to use one as the night before the hamfest campout rig. Throw some wire into the trees and talk! The receiver is quite good, it uses a 262Khz IF, and has parts on the IF cans to tailor the bandwidth, resistors across the primary and secondaries, and a small cap from primary to secondary. increasing the resistance of the resistors increases the Q, and vice versa, and the cap adjusts the nose of the passband. You can play with values to get it like you like, I have it set a bit more narrow than stock I think. Backlit receiver dial and meter, the rig looks very sharp.
