Hi there Terry. Enjoyed the video of your modification to the old Heathkit DX-100. My kind of gear to work on. The old eyes get worse has the new gear with surface mount components get smaller. Do also agree completely with the soldering of wires to the connection lugs of the switch. Carry on the good work OM. 73 de John - G0WXU.

Seventy-threes, Terry! LOVE your vids!

Alright, that copper chassis is really cool... 😎

[@chrisreich40]

A lot of the old Drake ham equipment had copper chassis as well.

Nice job mounting the T/R board w/the two rubber feet for stability.... !

If that unmarked front panel jack went off into the VFO could it have been a FSK mod for RTTY? Also, it appeared the gray (?) wire directly under the front panel switch you changed over to solder connections had a bit of it's jacket stripped away exposing the conductor...may have been my imagination though. Thanks for sharing Terry!

Hi Terry, I just purchased a DX100 and would like to find one of the PTT boards. Where did you find this board? Thank you.

[@Jennifer_Prentice]

Yay very neat job too. Looks great :)

Between your guitar amps and ham work I'm envious. One day I'll get the ball rolling on building my own amps. KC9FJE

Mykal Anstrom I built a Fender 5F2a amp along with a 6G15 standalone reverb unit from the Fender schematics/layouts........both work awesome !

@@tomk1tl I've been wanting to put together a Brownface clone for a while now. How much I travel for work it would take me the next 10 years to complete haha

Awesome Chanel! I’m currently studying Electric engineering but can’t fine so much info about guitar amps at school :( Any book wich you recomend to read about amps ?

[@dennisperusse3837]

You need to do a Heathkit DX-40 next. Great video, and dang that transmitter gives proper credence to the term "boat anchor". That thing must have been a real pain to put onto its side.

[@d-labelectronics]

Hello, Yes,I wold love to feature a DX-40! Do you have one that I can feature?

[@dennisperusse3837]

Nah, I wish I did though.

[@d-labelectronics]

I will keep an eye out for one. Hams send these to me for the mod + presentation

[@8xlaxx]

I'd love to see some more videos about this DX-100. Maybe you can call the owner? How can I purchase this PTT board?

[@d-labelectronics]

Hello, More videos on this TX on the way. NO grid current. Will show that repair. Plus needs re-capped. Yes, I have the boards available, e-mail me [e-mail]

[@andarthome142]

That green wire at 7:16 was hit to hard with the solder iron, i would replace that :-), for the rest great job at rx-100.

Where do you get his K-1 PTT relay

[@d-labelectronics]

I make and sell them. Do you need one?

[@woodenclocks6531]

@@d-labelectronics Hello, I searched and searched for them, and couldn't find them. I probably looking for about 4 of them. . .DX-60, DX-100, Eico 720, and Viking 2. Ranger too. I found your channel by accident. . .I really enjoyed watching it. . I restore old Radios too. Most of the time I use a clunky relay, but I like your "all in one" smaller relay.
