I used to have an SX-190 back in
the 70s, and enjoyed it. I recently purchased two SX-190s (have not
received them yet). Your CD manual will be a big help to restore them. Thanks
for sharing your knowledge with others, who will be able to keep those great
old radios going. 73- Ron eBay user: fonograff

user: sunnycolo
I have gone through the booklet and found there's a ton of info to look
at. I looked through the manual again and can say this, I would have paid
twice the price for this info. The manual has sparked my interest in
short-wave up another notch. Again, many thanks. eBay user: george barlow
Very helpful book. I have used it already to repair tuning dial. Well
worth it! Feel fee to use my quote. You have a unique product and it is well
done. Thanks for the feedback. Jim Nielsen
Gregg, I finally got to KC to pick up my SX-190. It was virtually dead but
a couple of hours trying to realign it with your instructions sure brought
it back to life! It is much better now, although I haven't hooked it up to
a "real" antenna yet. Still, compared the signal to a couple of
portables/tabletops here with whips and it certainly compared quite favorably! 73’s
take care! de AA0GL/WPE0EZL
I own a SX-190. I have no LSB. The radio was sent to Radio Shack service
center. The tech said he could not find the part, nor a service manual due
to its age. Would this manual solve this problem for a homegrown tech, if
the Radio Shack part could be replaced with a generic part? REPLY: Hello
Richard, Yes the Allied Series-190 manual I sell covers all aspects of this
great receiver. After receiving the book, if you still can’t find the
problem, if needed, I can walk you through any problem areas. Gregg
Your book is very good, nice job too and it is helping me get my SX-190 in
top DXing shape. Many thanks. eBay user: sparkplugwire
