Hi making low power amps and such??, I have seen, retired, dead, broke, unwanted, hand-helds at swap meets, old police, commercial , fire radios etc. I bought a box full , for 20$ , mostly for the mechanical parts, I know there will be some, VHF/UHF rf amps modules in there. When I was leaving, the guy carried another box full of portables, with accessories, to my truck. I all ways seem to provoke this response. My current need is to make a simple DC brushed motor controller, for my electric mobility scooter,s, the originals , are shot there is no good litt for them any way.. I bought a small device that was supposed to be able to carry, up to 10 amps at 24 volts, it worked some, but only on the smallest scooter. I was thinking I could just build one with a Big SCR, and use this toy controller, to gate it. Any one have some<even one> Big SCRs, retired from service, could be from AC motors even.
