Hi,

I know this may not qualify as a true "boat anchor" as we know them to
be,
but...

Found one of these at a flea market yesterday. It isn't dead, but seems
to
need some attention. Squawks and squeals more than it receives. Anyone
have
any info on it? Schematic, builders guide, etc?

Hi L.,
It sounds like you have found a schematic, but if not try:

As to your other questions....Have you ever used a regen before, as in
are you familiar with how to tune it?
Also, what are you using for an antenna?

Glad to give any more info that I can.

Hi Bob,

I found the site you referred to just after I posted this ad.... I'm ok
with using a regen, but I still have a ? of the unit itself. The Schematic
doesn't show the coils to be tunable. Not as I'm typically used to seeing
anyway! Most schematics I'm used to, have an arrow to show tuning. AND of
the 4 coils, 2 have slugs, 2 don't. So, was not sure of the slugs in the two
are missing OR the two present were in error. But the site you suggested,
has a pic of the PC board. I can clearly see the two here with slugs are ok.
I can not make out if the other two have slugs down in them or not. I just
got this thing yesterday, so still playing. About 25' of wire on it for now.
Will play some more. But was wanting to know about the other 2 coils so I
know whether I'm missing some tuning or not. If not, then I guess I'll
reacquaint myself with the Regen.. IT "has" been a while. I'm sure I'll
figure it all out, its just trying to get a heads up if possible on the
"proper" makeup of this unit.

Thanks,

L.
