sp 210 help

is there a good pickoff point out of the back of the ft 101? I have a extra quadrophonic reciever and speakers.

I've been feelin not so hot last 4 or 5 days, left hand screwed up, so I haven't been in there working. Matchbox needs 2 solder connections to finish, but they're buried underneath the coils and I gotta have 2 working hands to do it.

There is an external speaker jack output. This is not a line level output though, so some considerations would need to be made if driving another external amp.

So I had on order a new set of rectifier tubes for it 6x5wgt/5r4gy.

If only all repairs were that simple! Strange tube combo, though - are they the stock tubes, or subs added by a previous owner? I've never seen one using those tubes, not that this means much.

My SP-100 started munching fuses every few days, so I installed a new 5Z3 and 80, and all is well.

Considering how nice they sound in stock form driving a good speaker, I'd say they're excellent receivers, considering it's a 1930s design.

Have fun with it John.

Todd,
 It came with a NON org power supply much more stout and that was the tube line up for it. I had posted pictures of it on this posting a few weeks ago if you want to check it out. Anyhow when I am done with the resto on it I will post some pic of the finished rig.

tnx

Interesting on all comments regarding the SP line of receivers.. I currently own and use an SP-400X with a few more features and updates than the 210, but has the same basic layout.. Recently, I recorded Steve WA1QIX during daytime conditions pre-audio stage (AF wiper) line level. GREAT RECEIVER!!

Yeah, that's right too. Silly me, I was even in that part of the discussion.  CRS sets in...   Looking forward to the pics.

Nice avatar, Frank Bullitt and the '68 Highland Green 'stang remain timeless. One of my all-time favorite movies.

Nah, just more amusing.  Besides - what's my excuse? Not enough?
