This is a Palomar Engineers P-410X 160m thru 6m receive preamp I repaired and modified for a friend. Originally, it had a coaxial pigtail hanging out for the connection to the radio. I removed that, installed a matching SO-239 connector, and labeled it. The main pc board literally floats in the cabinet, supported by connections to the front panel controls. It was inoperable due to breaks in the board, a bad FET, and connection issues with the front panel. Those items were repaired and it was good to go! Here's a few pics...
I've been in Amateur Radio since 1974, and still find new and interesting things to do. I like to build, restore, and operate on the air.

EuroCB Switching RX Preamp
This EuroCB rx preamp was a hamfest find by a friend. It didn't work, but wasn't a basket case. I replaced a busted gain pot, installed an external fuse holder and power cord, and tested. It worked great on 20, 17, 15, 12, and 10 meters. It can auto switch a 200w transmitter QSK. Not bad for a few bucks! Here's a few pics...
