Now I am trying to get it set back up, but can only get ~50 watts or so out, and thats with the Mic Gain all the way up, making the IC current 250+ mA. That doesn't seem right to me.
I disagree with you on this point.I too would recommend that compressed air be used to blow the dirt away. I don't much like the idea of a vacuum cleaner as it's more of a "contact-oriented" system where a wand could damage an old, frail component where the air is more of a "hands-off" method.
Well wouldn't you know it, I was wondering when these comments would arrive.AudioCynic said:It has vacuum tubes so it must be very old.
Where will you find replacement vacuum tubes when they wear out? Did a Soviet jet fighter plane crash near you?
Does it sound as bad as its age?
Have you heard how wonderful a new radio sounds?
I've never been impressed with the solvent capabilities of Isopropyl Alcohol.
Everytime I pass a MiG crash site I check for one of those bitchin' slide rules that look like a pocket watch.

Has anyone ever tried just putting a dirty chassis in a dishwasher?
What was the plate current when you had this 75 watts?I tuned the radio like you outlined and I can get ~75 watts out on tune
Was this during normal speech, or a "whistle into the mic"?meter shows about ~20 watts on SSB.
