CQ CQ CQ -
Doctor Raoul has kindly asked if I would ping the Ham List in the hopes that a technically skilled Freeper may be able to assist with repairs to PA systems to be used in Freeps. Excerpts from his Freepmail appear below:
=========================================================
I have a number of Amplivox portable PAs. It may be that I'm not aligning the prongs on the battery case or perhaps corrosion. Have a schematic on bottom of case.
Need them checked out and then we can send them to people doing counter-protests.
I think it's possible to wire them up to a cigar lighter plug and run them from a car's lighter outlet.
Some of it worked at one time.
=========================================================
Any assistance for the good Doctor is much appreciated. Let's help keep one of our most active "Freepers in the Street" in the thick of things!
Please Freepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from the list.
Thanks.
You're very welcome. It's the least I could do for the yeoman work you've done on behalf of FR.
BTTT for a good cause.

Bump for Dr. Raoul.

Doc, have you done any PM on the leads?
Take an eraser to the battery leads to clean them?
Also, are you sure these units are 12 volts?
I can take a look at them. Where are they located? How many do you have? What model p/n are they. If I can't figure them out I have a A/V tech friend who can help.
I'm at 15th & G NW.
