Title: New addition to Bendix TA12 project - MP-28BA power supply Post by: w1vtp on August 02, 2012, 06:54:06 PM All
Someone on this forum put me on to this eBay score and score I did! The chances of getting this power supply is rare. Anyway - whoever you are - thanks. I took a bunch of pictures but will upload a couple of teasers here. The rest of the pics (hi-res albeit compressed) will be on one of my web sites. Here's the link - http://homepage.fcgnetworks.net/w1vtp/TA12/ Mike, WU2D, did you ever get your modulator squared away? This project will be the culmination of a life-long search for the transmitter. See http://amfone.net/Amforum/index.php?topic=29010.0 One more thing. Anyone have a non-invasive way of removing that masking tape? Oh yes, where do I get that connector Al Title: Re: New addition to Bendix TA12 project - MP-28BA power supply Post by: W7TFO on August 02, 2012, 08:27:31 PM Congrats on the score, that is one rare item.

Let it soak a bit, then scrape it with a bit of wooden stick. you could also try GOOF OFF.

Someone else somewhere recommended peanut butter - for the peanut oil in it. I can try your suggestion. Not so messy. I plan on painting the end pieces with black Rustolium anyway 'cause one end cover got dented and the paint flacked off Al Title: Re: New addition to Bendix TA12 project - MP-28BA power supply Post by: Todd, KA1KAQ on August 03, 2012, 02:07:51 PM Wowsers, Al!

I agree with Dennis - very impressive that you found this unit. Moreso because not only is it complete and unhacked, it includes the shock mount! Doubt I've seen a handful of these units over the decades. Ya done well. Can't wait to hear it on the air. |
