Hi Tommy,

   It should not be putting out that much power on just one tube. That's actually high for both tubes running, but if one of them is not lighting at all then yes....the unit will work with just one tube but at a much lower power output. You can find replacement tubes on eBay quite easily.

Does yours have the AC cord on it or a heavy black and red wire coming from the rear of the unit? The base unit won't have the red and black wires.....and yes.....they are light green in color.

Subject: [Tube Type CB Radio Collectors] Want To Buy an old vacuum tube Lafayyette CB - 60's 70's era.

 

Hello Randy et al,

Thank you for your comments - I AM currently looking for a tube type Lafayette CB TRANSCEIVER - The Comstat 25A you mention rings a bell. If you look at the Lafayette CB's of the 60's/70's era they ARE similar to the HA-410/460 10 and 6 meter Ham AM rigs. They used a 2E26 for a final if I remember correctly. Also, the chassis, case and front panel configuration seem to be the same. Anyway is there a venue, aside from that "online auction site" where I can find a vacuum tube transceiver? Lafayette or otherwise? Manufacturer is not important, but I mention the Lafayette brand as it was quite popular in my teens. We even had a Lafayette retail store in Philadelphia, across from the Cheltenham Shopping Center. My buddies and I used to go there after school on our bicycles and play with the display radio's for hours.

I have used and still have the Lafayette (Laughing-Idiot) Comstat 25A. It was plain CB but in reading your post I gather you are looking more toward their amateur equipment. I really know little about it as I was economically challenged back in the early 70’s being just out of high school and having a girlfriend that didn’t share my love for wireless: except for the telephone of course.

Gang,

I want to purchase my first vacuum tube CB rig. Suggestions? Recommendations? I seem to remember Lafayette Radio CB's from the late 60's early 70's... Can't remember the names or model numbers but they looked like the Lafayette HA-410 10 Meter / HA-460 6 Meter rigs of the same era. Aside from that "auction site" where can I find them? This is my first post to the group by the way... Thank you  - Howie K3HW

That sounds just about right for the amp if it's being pushed with a decent amount of power... 4-6 watts with good upwards mod. It should be a very reliable and good sounding amplifier for years. The only thing you'll want to change at some point in time would be the capacitors in the power supply. After this many years they'll be starting to dry out and now days you can get much higher quality and sized caps in a package that's less than half the size of the originals. It will work even better then and sound cleaner as well.

Perhaps that's they way some operate, but I've always sold things differently. I put a fair price on them and you either want it or you don't. There's no negotiation.......all of that is just time consumsing BS. Perhaps it makes the buyer feel better like he got a great deal, but what's the point of advertising something for twice the price that you really want for it and then let someone haggle you down to your original price......simply wasted time. State your price and the buyer either buys it or he doesn't. It makes it very simple. Wow....it just dawned on me....that's exactly what stores do! Amazing how well it works there. You see the item, you see the price and you buy it or you walk away...simple.

( They also gave me a Maverick 250 and a Varmit 250 both of which work perfectly well and a Tempo One which is clean, but needs some work. In any case, after seeing your post I plugged this radio in for the first time. It powered up fine and transmits extremely well with excellent output. The mike is a stock hand mike which you would want to replace. I listened to the transmit through my Golden Eagle and it sounded at bit muffled....bad mike. I also heard no receive, but although I didn't even bother to open the radio up my first guess would be that it simply needs a tube....and probably just the audio output tube. It's not perfectly clean, but would look nice cleaned up a little and actually has the original mobile mounting bracket still on it even though it made a monster of a mobile radio. It currently keys at about 4 watts and modulates to well over 10. It's yours for the price of packing and shipping from Georgia if you want it. I have way too many tube radios to even fir on my two tier bench and this will just sit until I either give it away or dump it. So.....

If you look at the Lafayette CB's of the 60's/70's era they ARE similar to the HA-410/460 10 and 6 meter Ham AM rigs. They used a 2E26 for a final if I remember correctly. Also, the chassis, case and front panel configuration seem to be the same. Anyway is there a venue, aside from that "online auction site" where I can find a vacuum tube transceiver? Lafayette or otherwise? Manufacturer is not important, but I mention the Lafayette brand as it was quite popular in my teens. We even had a Lafayette retail store in Philadelphia, across from the Cheltenham Shopping Center.

I didn't see the first driver tube when I first opened it and then when I did I checked the front panel again....the 250 doesn't have the first driver stage. This one should do a solid 400 watts or more with low wattage drive.

Hi Bill

That probably puts them out of my price range as I am living on a Disability/SS income so I have to look for repairable items that are cheap and I can repair as I have the coins.

Thanks anyway, please keep me in mind if you run across any cheap tube radios.

Hi Adiran,

  Yes I do, but they're not "Plain Jane" units and wouldn't sell cheaply. I have 2 extra Golden Eagles that are near mint and an extra General RadioTelephone Super MC-11A that dead keys at about 12-14 watts and modulates to almost 25 watts.... Like the Buddy Base....they're one of the loudest transmitting radios on the air....when you can find one, but they're pretyy rare.

Hi Adrian,

  I understand completely. Although I have 6 Eagles, a 2995DX, Stonewall Jackson, The Buddy Base and numerous other radios and linears to go with them they were all aquired when I was still working in the movie industry. I retired a year ago in less than half of what I used to make and that is including my SS so I'm just beginning to find myself in the same position. There's a $600 unit on eBay...( not CB related) that I want to get, but find that in order to do it I need to either wait and try to find another one or sell something that I have here.

   I just went through this with my dog's $3000 surgery and parted with the main part of my stereo system.....a vintage McIntosh 275 tube power amplifier and in order to sell it quickly accepted about half of what it would normally bring. It was heartbreaking except when you realize that it's just a material thing that eventually can be replaced and even if it isn't will not be the end of the world
