[AMRadio] Disco Lites & TV Deflection

Pete, Remember the SWTPC 4 channel Color Organ design in one of the Electronics mags. I built that thing in a 2' X 4' box with a celing light panel diffuser. Blue, Green, Bed, and Yellow. It used an actual 4 way X over design filter ahead of the triacs. A great Psyc Lite !! Bry, I never tried

Re: [AMRadio] You must see this.

My GOD... I cannot understand what type of person would spend this kind of money for an audio amp!!! Hams complain about a $5k RF Amp or a $2000 broadcast transmitter. I know that people pay it... My boss has a pair of Grommes Tube amps that are in the $1500 area. They sound fantastic. These are th

Did you see that frequency response claim? 1/2 Db from 21 to 20 K. Now that is flat. In my world I have some trouble understanding why people buy a Lexus when a Mazda or Toyota will get one around quite nicely for much less, but that is the free market. What is disconcerting about building t

Re: [AMRadio] You must see this.

Jim - maybe some of us should go into that business and start winding some really nice transformers for the audiophiles. I am sure there would be a market. A lot of the old transformer rewinders and manufacturers seem to have been dying off. 73 - Bry, AF4K http://www.af4k.com/audio_bs.htm On

Re: [AMRadio] You must see this.

I would never make it Bry. I don't have the guts to price something so simple and standard at outrageous prices like these guys. Even when I want to sell stuff I have here I never get those premium prices. But you are right about transformer guys. The only thing I can see is where would one

Re: [AMRadio] You must see this.

Bob, You can buy Grommes amps at hamfest flea markets for under $100, usually in the $60 to $80 range. If you find one, fix it up and give it to ur boss. A little job security perhaps. 73 Rob K5UJ On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 8:04 AM, Bob Peters wrote: > My GOD... I cannot understand what type o

Re: [AMRadio] You must see this.

I am reminded of a drizzly day walking around the Shelby hamfest flea market with my buddy Fred a few years ago. We passed a table set up with embroidered aprons and other kitchen craft stuff and I started talking about why in the world people would bring such stuff to a *Ham Radio* flea market. Fr

Re: [AMRadio] You must see this.

Not these GROMMES Rob...These are there tube amps not the solid state ones... Check out their website... My company OEM's there Solid State amps...The $1500 is our cost from Grommes on the tube version ... He pays way too much for the iron but buys good stuff ... Bob W1PE -Original Message---

Re: [AMRadio] You must see this.

Bob, I was referring to the tube Grommes. Saw a nice looking one in the flea at Dayton for around $90 and I stupidly took a pass, then changed my mind about 10 minutes later but by then it had gone. A couple months later in the summer I saw another one at the Six Meter Club/Antique Radio Club swa

B&W also has some that you can buy. The cost is a bit more than most people want to pay but if you need it, then what is a fellow to do? I believe they are limited to some extent as well. http://www.bwantennas.com/coils/coilcat.htm 73 Jim/W5JO - Original Message - > You can still

Re: [AMRadio] You must see this.

All I can say is WOW... That is the most unreal buy ever.. If those are the ones manufactured in the 90's they are worth a mint.. If they are the original made in the 40's and 50's then that is the right price... The owner Jeff has gone crazy with transformers all of which are Peter Dahl... Bob W1

Re: [AMRadio] AM TRANSMITTER RALLY

Hey John, Have you found any other guys on 50.400 MHz down there yet? We had a net on that frequency every Tuesday night here in Central FL until about a year ago. They moved it to 50.3 MHz SSB - ugh! It is kind of seasonal though, and you can still sometimes find guys on 50.400 MHz AM. There

You are correct. A few are hams. But I guess even the most wastrel ham is a piker compared to some of these audio people and those with boats and race cars. 73 Rob K5UJ On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 3:12 PM, Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS wrote: > Despite the economy, there are still a lot of folks

Okay Bob, well the ones I found were all old, probably from the 50s, so that explains it. Still, they looked good and for ham shack purposes are probably FB. BTW, if you go on eBay and look in the category where these little tube amps are found (I forget where but if you search something like Hea
