This orphan RF pre-amplifier (Model A-2C08D) landed on my door step.
It is a VHF (132 - 174 MHz) pre-amplifier that Sinclair Radio Labs (Tonawanda, NY) marketed in the 1970s. Its a Manhattan style construction in a nice Pomona box :-)
Of course, this orphan does not work. Chance that anyone may have a schematic? ... likely a 4-pin FET ... before I open it up on the workbench next week?
Initial e-mail to current Sinclair went un-answered. Phone call likely next, but I doubt they have the schematic for this old pre-amp on-file.
