If you message me a email address or gmail address ? Not sure about all this newfangeled crap, but I could send pics of insides of trans all really clean bottom insides, topsides alittle dusty, also they all seem to be alittle different, why I'm don't know. One trans been modded, I'm guessing for 10meters thanks. deltaqueenriverrat Tom W. St Louis,Mo.

Well got my new toy. Small radio tiny sbe mic fair condition lights up. Lettering good worn around channel knob might clean up though. I found out why no keys around. They are tiny and very thin. The first time i turned the key...Snap it broke off. Theres still enough on stub to turn on and off....so if you find a key...Do not use it Ha. Oh well IM STILL HAPPY. Power supply looks good but Im not going to run it until I get it looked at. Alot old electrolytics in both. All tubes in trans are horizontal. Power supply looks like only 1 or 2 tubes and 2large cans. I was trying to send pics but I looked up tram xl 100 on google and there it was with caption 3 days ago. More later. DQRR PS dont use the key Ha.

Cool little radio. The key is missing in mine and the case needs repainting (typical of Trams with the metal cases) The face plate is pretty darn good though. Just needs the limiter switch replaced.  |

Hey anyone ever had a roach TramD201A...no really..I mean a roach hotel Tram? About ten years ago I bought a TramD201A at a cb shop that had a loal used radio section. I brought the Tram home...set it up and next thing you know roaches on my cb desk..??What the...Now these weren't your average black standard roaches..these were those brown fast german types..faster than sh..I realized these little pecker heads werelivin in my Tram..even when radio on they would peek out and see me ready to swat em and they would zip back in. I don't know they could live in there with all that juice around...Ha..anyway I finally had enough..I put the Tram in a large plastic trash bag and sprinkled in a couple of teaspoons of boric acid powder in bag and tied up the end and let it sit for2 weeks. Well when I took it out later I cleaned out or found 39 dead roaches in the bag and radio..If I hadn't seen it...I would not have beleived it either. DQRR

DQRR I have worked on a number of electronic devices that have become home to roaches. They like the warmth of the power supply and they make it their home. Usually though, when I get them, the roaches are dead and all that's left are the carcasses and their related crud. Makes for some extra cleaning effort. |

Yuk. Got an RCI 2980 base station from Philly. Looked great from the outside. I should have opened it up while I was there. Brought it home, opened it up and you could see that a bunch of something was living in there prior. Probably roaches as you could see their "spots" all over. It also stank kinda like hay/bug piss inside  I gave it away... |

More reasons to check radio closely before firing it up....hooked up a Johnson Blackface recently..putting out 10w great swing...but i forgot to ck SWR first...talkin for about hour..started to see smoke not white like Cap but dark..smelled electrical..shut her off..found wire inside top starting to melt..aftr cooled down quick swr ck was high..discovered sO239 jack on back had only 1/4 Inch of insulation from center conducter...wee ..almost was fryin chickens in the barnyard..appears to not have hurt radio but I came close to burnin it up..so lesson learned.
