Hippo model 48-460 code 122 antenna connections
#1

Hello everyone -

I got another Hippo (I am a sucker for these) and it turns out to be a 48-460 code 122 according to the stamp on the chassis.

In my typical haste to get started on the recapping I snipped the loop antenna connections (4 of them - I'm used to 2) and of course now that I'm done and the last thing to do is reconnect the loop I can't figure out which goes where.

There is a lead coming from the variable cap that would connect to one of the 4 loop wires, then there are 3 posts on a terminal post with 4 posts that were connected. The leftmost post as you are looking from the rear into the interior has a wire as well as the next one to the right and the next to that. The 4th post doesn't connect to any loop wire.

I can try all the combinations and eventually get this right but I was wondering if anyone knows which goes where.

I could only find info from Riders on a code 121 and it shows a mounted antenna coil on the chassis which this Hippo does not have.

Let me know if you have suggestions.

Thanks.

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM
