Terra TXP-720

Does anyone have an old Terra hand held transceiver TXP 720? I'm trying to determine the original chemistry of the batteries and the voltage output of the AC adapter. I keep downloading "the manual" and ending up with the installation manual for a panel mount TX 720 instead.

TIA

There's one at the museum where I volunteer. www.yankeeairmuseum.org Next time I'm there I'll take a look. I'll be going there next Wed the 11th.

Thanks! If you could get the data, and a pic, of the charger that would be awesome! (I have box of adapters, but don't know if the right one is in there.) I don't suppose you have the manual, do you?

I found a manual. Thanks! FYI, the original batteries were NiCads.

Still looking for specifics on the charger, though, particularly Voltage and current output.

Generous offer, but, then, I'd have two radios and no charger!

Hi John,

extrapolating from this thread it looks like 12 volts is the answer....
