I am trying to restore a real basket case DX-100 from the ground up. One thing I need is one of the small RED knobes and it's concentric larger GRAY knob. (VFO/Crystal Switch Knobs). I anyone has a lead where I may find one each, I would be much obliged.
I'm thinking of installing new 50 watt bleeder resistorrs across the two 125 uF filter caps. the original is a center tapped 30K 50 watt resistor. I am thinking of using two 15 K resistors in series so the connection point becomes the center tap. I am not sure I would trust the old resistor when I rebuild this transmitter. This thing is so bad and missing a bunch of stuff, I plan to have the chassis replated before I build the transmitter up again. (Maybe I can find a better restoration candidate then this basket case. I really want to get a DX-100 on the air again as I built one as a kid back in 1956. I think these transmitter are a piece of art and a gorgeous design.
