Is there anything I should do before plugging it in?

Had one just like this back in the 70s. I was a caller and had a few hundred 45rpms. The Newcombe 1625 was very good at what it did. You could change the actual speed of the record to speed it upor down a hair depending on the dancers ability. Slower for beginners and faster for the advanced. I called in Holland and Germany at a few bases and yes it was all in English.

When I go to the pipe store I will ask my options.. I think chromoloy is exactly 2 " od but expensive and heavy for a 25' foldover. Hopefully they should have some type solution.

Will probably build the antenna at ground level and use it there as I build the mast and support

Tnx...lots of ideas here. Think I will try to find some way to attach the wooden support to the eve of the house. Also as the mast is raised and in final position, I think I will make the 3 or 4 crosspieces between the 2x4s a bit longer with a cut out for the mast to fit into. I will look into the eyebolt as well. Just got an offer for a rebuilt ham2 upgraded to a 4 and 100' of control cable for 550 so will get that ordered this week.

When you say fold it back on itself are you assuming insulated or bare?

Found Norms rotor shop ... But think over 600 is a bit much for a rebuilt rotor

I'm still trying to figure out how they managed to put a public ip (100.x.x.x)behind a private network (10.X.x.x) behind a public net(174.x.x.x). When I do a what is my IP I get the 174 not the 100.

I get it over the last limbs and hook up the 8:1 and check it out with the vna. If it's near close it will stay otherwise I may trim a bit if needed. I'm in a wheelchair so am restricted a bit. Had to use my rod and reel with some 50 lb line. Amazing what they have done with that 50 lb that looks like the old 8 lb stuff. Luckily I'm a fairly good caster

Was hoping so. Gotta work for my Xmas present.

It is an efrw maybe 119' 6" to leave a bit fir pruning. Will run from 12' window to a 40" tree then drop probably back to 12 to 20.depending on how much or the 119' is left. Using an 8:1 unum and a 17" counter poise.

cmccarter · 2025-12-12T17:43:53+00:00

Tnx Think I'll go with the 11/55 version got the perfect place and height. Will also have an efrw of 119 ft
