Looking for Transroc & Manuals Info (Base Kit & Microphone)
As an exercise, I'm looking to throw together a Transroc recreation. Unfortunately I can't find my original Transroc -- not sure if it was thrown out over the past quarter century or just lost in the house somewhere. I do, however, have my original manual.
At this time, I'm missing two things: 1) The value of R6. The manual says "selected", and although it's called out that the value is part of the R6/Q4/D2 matched set, a starting point would be greatly appreciated if possible. If someone has an actual Transroc and could look at the color bands for R6, that would be great. 2) The part number of Q2. This is the microphone amp transistor. The base manual doesn't list the number, and I don't have the microphone accessory kit manual. At one point I had annotated my manual with the microphone kit part values, but what I wrote down (HEP G6017) equates to a big hunkin' power transistor in a TO-3 case, so it's obviously not correct what I wrote. Does anyone happen to have a PDF of the Microphone Accessory kit manual for the Transroc (or at least the parts list and schematic)? Thanks! -Frank |

Would pictures help? I only have the basic Transroc, and am not sure where my manuals are, so I'm not sure which resistor you're looking for...didn't realize how dusty this was until the closeups!

@Dave S - Perfect! Your third picture gives me exactly what I need (the resistor with the green colored wire).
@Dave F - Cool! Thanks, that saves me from having to scan mine! ...now I just need that one transistor value for the microphone mode. Thanks guys! -Frank NAR 28529 |

Frank,
There is a Transroc on eBay right now. THe Box for Microphone Accessory TXA-1 is checked. Contact the seller for more information ! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Estes-Tran...ry/183835451873 Dave F. |

Just to clarify — because it may not be obvious at first glance — that listing is JUST for the microphone accessory; it is not for the entire Transroc, despite the heavy price tag. I remember another Transroc accessory that did sell on eBay several years ago, and I believe it went for something like $300. So, those accessories are pretty pricey when they do come up. Earl

Pricey because very few ever existed.
I knew a guy in the late 80's/early 90's that had the complete Transroc setup with all accessories that wanted $1000 then. He eventually got it too.
