Mattel Tx conversion
Posted: 25 Feb 2020, 09:31
I have just acquired a 1971 Mattel GG tx, via 'the bay' - postage was significantly more than the purchase price .
First impressions of the tx:
Since I don't have any matching Mattel rxs or actuators, the tx will be gigified & used with either Phil's or Martin's recoder and an Ace magnetic actuator or a homemade actuator. First impressions of the tx:
- it is much larger than I expected
- quality inside & out is excellent - makes me reluctant to remove the original pcb
- there is plenty of room for any modifications or a large battery
