Title: HRO-7 Project Post by: W5AMI on April 14, 2012, 10:52:42 PM Got an HRO-7 w/power supply, matching speaker and HRO-60 at a recent hamfest. Started restoration on the 7 first.
Here is a photo of the chassis after cleaning good: http://w5ami.net/cpg1419/displayimage.php?pid=5109&fullsize=1 More photos from beginning here: http://w5ami.net/cpg1419/thumbnails.php?album=57 Got a ways to go yet... Will post more as I go. 73 Brian / w5ami Title: Re: HRO-7 Project Post by: AL7FS on April 15, 2012, 02:57:24 PM I will be especially interested in your HRO-60 restoration as I have one of those to do. I have never done any restorations yet so I try to absorb as much as I can. I enjoy your photos but would love to read a ridiculously detailed narrative to go along with your photos. Heck, I also have an SX-28 so I also vote for you going back and adding another ridiculously detailed narrative for that. :-)

73 Brian Title: Re: HRO-7 Project Post by: W5AMI on April 27, 2012, 09:37:41 PM Well, I've finished the HRO-7T for the most part. There are a few particulars I need to do, such as checking or doing a realignment. It's playing now as I type listening to some AM'ers on 75 meters. It's been recapped and most resistors checked and/or replaced. Someone had messed with this one a bit, and I had some tracing to do to figure out out to put it back like it should be.
Here is the link to my photo gallery of the HRO-7 restoration. http://w5ami.net/cpg1419/thumbnails.php?album=57 Also, some before and after photos.... Title: Re: HRO-7 Project Post by: W5AMI on April 27, 2012, 09:42:22 PM Oh, and by the way; if it had not for been for Jim/W5JO, I would have probably been lost with this HRO. Thanks Jim, good ideas and great advice for me! AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
