Phase lock loop problem Ranger RCI 2950

[Jerry]

When we had it on the service monitor - we checked the Clarifier and the TX did not move when the clarifier was changed.

Where can I find a deal on a new or used radio?
I tried QRZ and Flea Bay and Craigslist and in 4 months the closest I came was a old Heathkit HW 101 for $350.00 - that was until I found out that it needed a power supply and even a broke power supply was $100.00 and another $100+ to repair it.

I have a Heathkit 101 promised to me, my uncle said he would give it to me - after he replaced all the caps in it, just that he owns his own business and doesn't have the time to replace the caps.
I even asked him if he would as his employee to do it for me and I would gladly pay him for his time and troubles and my uncle got upset and said that he wanted to do it himself and got offended and that was the end of the offer.

It's kind of sad to be a Amateur Extra class license holder and no radio.

Small world!

I also have a Mirage (old RCI) 2950 Radio, it's usless because I don't have the tools to align it, you need a scope to do it right and, mine crapped out. Maybe I'll make some Ham friends locally with a scope.

I also have a HW-101 that is need of repair, all I need for that is a manual and a roadmap but, I don't see Heathkit listed on the BAMA mirror site anymore; anyone know of access to the Heathkit HW-101 documentation without have to shell out buck for what used to be public domaine information?

ETA: There has got to be some knock-off / copy of that radio under a different name, any ideas?
