Grant, not seen this type before

Looking around you can find them, bit pricey in the states

I think I remember seeing a webpage which showed all of the different Grant types.

I think the 3 button version was pre-Uniden.

Found it.

Hi Simon I did see uniden on several components when I was doing the switch cleaner

Found it.

Interesting, spose I'd better collect all the variants now

[Mudslinger]

You know it makes sense.

Hi Sammy,

There were 3 SSB President radio's that had the second 858 chassis in them.

The first chassis no. was PC-176 which I believe was short lived and I think the only SSB radio with that in was a Courier.... a Spartan I think.... someone will put me right I'm sure....

I have a PC-176AA Grant here, board's marked Uniden and it was made in Japan.

Yeah . I think we figured this one out before . The early WASHINGTON , MADISON , GRANT and ADAMS , with the uPD858 were all made in Japan in 77/78 . They must have moved production to Taiwan pretty soon after that .

The comment above was saying that the only chassis with PC-176 was a Courier. I was saying that I have a Grant with a PC-176AA chassis.

OK . My GRANT is a PC-176AD . 1977 Taiwan .

Is there a dedicated schematic for the PC-176 ? I can probably piece it together from the TRC-449 (PC-196) which looks similar , but it would be easier if I had the original diagram .

If there is I haven't found it yet. There's a Sams manual to cover the 3 button Grant, and you can download the schematic for £20 or something, but for that you should be able to get an entire sams manual posted. The thing is, that particular Sams manual never comes up for sale.

Surprising that a copy of that manual hasn't been uploaded somewhere after all this time. I'm using the Realistic schematic at the moment. It's slightly different though. I bought mine years ago without really testing it. I'm going to give it a once over now and sort out the couple of issues that it has.

Reading with interest, not sure this helps or not and you all probably have this Master Mods Volumes 1>7. In particular Vol 1 & 2 seem relevant to the 858 3 button Grant and others.
The scans of this are ok but not optimised so large file, thought you might as well get all the volumes I have.
