TRIO 59 line ( 9R-59D + TX-88D)

9R-59D

In 1966, TRIO (Kenwood corp. today) started selling this short wave radio kit.


Top view; It's almost forty years passed, several damage has seen so I replaced almost all the Caps.


This set requires external speaker separately.


Old Vari-Caps are driven by the strings.


The Mechanical filter (the square object labelled 05-05) makes this machine usable.


The close up of the OSC.


The 0A2 (VR-150MT) is also called "Stabilo" as a AVR for the OSC.
On the left; Marker Cristal of 3.500MHz.


In the dark, you see the glow discharge in perple.


You can see warm nostalgic lights on this set at night.


TX-88D

This transmitter were designed to use with 9R-59D.


There are no VFO in this set. External VFO or fixed Cristal required to the operation.


Modulation method was AM; Amplitude modulation, required power audio signal.


I replace almost all the Capacitors too.


Final unit was single S2001 used.


This set was assembled by someone long time ago.
