Re: Cross referencing RCA semiconductors

Hi, Which number does one use to cross reference an RCA semiconductor? The item in question is a transistor; RCA stock # 174374 and drawing # 1417405-004. This is the UHF prescaler Q103 in an MTT009 tuner in an RCA ctc 130 chassis. The transistor is noisy and emits horizontal white streaks in the p...

Unsure of the title. Perhaps "Understanding flyback circuits" or alike. But I can be still wrong with the year, perhaps to '94 ¿? I will be praying on my knees while you browse your issues... Thanks, Miguel My N&V's start at July 92 and I did a quick scan through the 93 & 94 issu...

ok, so is that sarcasm? or just being a s. a. Ok, Let's not get nasty now. :lol: I did another search, and turned up some one in Canada. Who has got that radio, and the 70 watt amplifiers that go with it. {Damn it I can't find the site now!} Well this would indicate that the radio is just a front-e...

Hi, I assume you gave the audio/control heads a good cleaning. I have experienced a couple of VCR's that would speed up and slow down at random in play mode and after I gave the audio/control heads a good cleaning, the problem went away. Yup, I gave them a good cleaning. Along with the video heads,...

Hi Janzap... Would you have N&V issues from 1990 to 1992 ? One of those has a superb article on flyback circuits am looking for years :sad: Miguel I still have a few 1992 issues. But that's as far back as I have. Since that is when I started getting the magazine. What was the name of the articl...

I wonder if scanning these into PDF or BMP would violate copyright laws. I know it would, but would the original publisher and/or author mind? It shouldn't. I've scanned in my back issues of Nuts & Volts, and put them on CD's. As long as these are only for you, and your not making copies to giv...

Why don't you go and post your question over on http://www.audiokarma.org/forums.
They seem to have a lot more Audiophile Fanatics than here.
So, you might have a better chance of finding some one there.
That would have a wiring hook up diagram for the radio.

That Radio was manufactured some where between 1982-1983. I'm finding Service Manuals for it. But not for free. :( http://www.agtannenbaum.com http://www.radioera.com/c-manuals.htm http://www.stereomanuals.com/man/rep/concord/ Here's an old advertisement for your radio. It includes some of the spec'...

looks to be the complete service manual. I don't see the schematic(s) or electrical parts list(s)... Yeah, Some companies back then, didn't include an electrical schematic of they're units. The electrical parts are there. Pages 38 - 43. Plus, page 45: List Of Interchangeable Semiconductors. Signed:...
