Description

Photo of Varmints will change in a few Days To a Varmint Linear Amplifier !
READ FIRST BEFORE CLICKING BUY IT NOW !
This is
NOT AN OEM KIT.
The parts in this kit will get your amplifier working because these electronic parts have the same function & electrical characteristics of the original equipment parts. All Capacitors are radial not Axial. Of course. Usable tubes. Functioning Relays. Some parts may be of a higher current or voltage rating than original. They will work fine. The transistors may not be the same part number. But they will work if installed correctly. E.B.C. Emitter Base Collector.
You have to have
TOOLS
such as : 30 to 60 watt Iron or variable larger soldering gun. Solder ; paste , at least one surgical tweezers ; needle nose plier & Cheap Analog Multi-meter. Optional but good to have. Transistor checker/Capacitor tester.
A basic understanding of BJT transistors like emitter, base , collector LOCATION. The legs of the PNP or NPN transistors in the kit. How Diodes function. Signal & rectifier diodes. Anode - cathode. Capacitors - +. Relays.
You can teach yourself quickly these basics.
DO NOT BUY THIS KIT IF YOU
THINK IT IS "PLUG & PLAY" & DO NOT BUY IT IF YOU THINK IT IS SOMETHING
Else OTHER than a Collection of PARTS to be Installed BY YOU.
In response to several requests. Here is a refurb/parts kit to bring back to life the fallowing Models of Varmint Linear Amplifiers. Varmint Models
150, 250; 350 & 450.
I have the Varmint 250 & Varmint KW by Mr. Brewer in my collection.
Assuming good tubes & iron. This ought get your Varmint running ! Nice
aluminum cases. Excellent cooling. Varmints were popular in the Midwest & South. Pricey but CB was Booming. People wanted fire in the wire !
Design is a bit complex. This could be because D&A Palomar & Maco (Majestic Amplifier) etc. had patents? Rock solid Amps if not abused.
