The original type blower used in the Pride DXD300 was discontinued decades ago. Howard Industries exited the blower business, and nobody ever copied or licensed the plastic-body design as a second source.
The original-type blower I used to rebuild this amplifier sounded okay for about the first half hour, and would develop a rattle once warmed up. Some things just don't last 48 years. Decided that selling this thing with a noisy...

I've been looking there occasionally for a few things recently and am surprised / not surprised to see so many fewer listings with people running away in horror I guess. Especially with ham rigs .... you could look for a model and find dozens of them listed and now it's one or 2. I know I don't really want to sell there anymore. Their greed surely is coming back to hit them hard at least in certain categories. Who knows if they'll pivot and reduce Seller Fees in Categories that see a...

Hello,
I have a 21 XLR I was wanting to try out the swing mod, but I am struggling to make sense of the instructions that I found on an old forum post. This is it:
I don't have my 29 XLR radios here with me, but figured the 21 XLR can also be done. As far as cutting the trace, Is this the place to do it? I attached the picture with the red line on if the cut needs to happen there..
The way on how to put in the capacitor also doesnt seem clear. Also, the clipping...
