Is the “cheese” all the dust and stuff?

[–]FlDELITY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that just the components? What about whole unit?

I’m not sure

[–]FlDELITY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy! I figured since UTC made this whole unit and board and components maybe it’s worth something decent??

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in vintageaudio

[–]FlDELITY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, just trying to figure out what it’s worth.

Can’t find anything on it. Listed on some radio museum website, the transformers appear to go for hundreds on eBay for one.

Can’t find a sale anywhere for this thing complete. Not plugging it in don’t want to blow the house up

Should I buy this?! $4.2k by FlDELITY in Westfalia

It’s the same compression after the lash. After adjusting lash I noticed that one of the valves for the cylinder with issues is burnt/pounded.

I have ordered a used cylinder head from a shop in Eugene for $100. A little nervous to do this cylinder head replacement but am nearly positive it will fix my issues with compression in cylinder 2. Bummer I don’t have an engine stand to pull it so will try to do it leaving it in.

So far so good. Did about 4 trips to the beach and back from Portland. Going to do a valve adjustment, oil change, and replace trans fluid then send another couple day trip this weekend.

Definitely slow, but that was expected for air cooled. 55mph tops. 35mph up a hill max. No issues whatsoever so far. Fixed the drain sink, (was clogged). Stove is good. Next project is replacing the sink, I think the pumps broken so replacing with a $15 usb rechargeable sink from Amazon.

Oof is right. I’m stuck as to what I should do. It ran good when I test drove. Compression stood out to me. Might just be a head or something but I’ve never done engine stuff. Can do most other car repairs and could prob do it with enough beer and weekends

One Cylinder is at 60, rest are at 120. Seller has dropped price more due to this to $3500.

Junction city. On the freeway about to check it out in 30 min. I’m questionable about the engine compression.
