I just started this little blog for faster communication about the glorious Stoner Pro 40 SSB. Mine is running rather well after a lot of work, but I still have some questions:
The rectifier gets really hot, what is your power consumption, when on RX ? Mine has about .4 Amperes @120 Volt
Does anybody have a solution for the popping noise, caused by the 2 Volts supply on the LED board ?

Hi, I am owner of Stoner 396.
It had burned power supply board and regulators, and other serious problems from an unqualified amateur repairman’s screwdriver.
My friend and I took it completely apart then completely re-built it and now it works great.
We locked the TX & RX together so now the clarifier acts as a VFO.
If You need advice perhaps we can help, also there is an expert in Stoners who posts on Grumpy’s Old Time CB Radio Forum, his handle there is RifleMan, he has owned two of them and rebuilt both of them.
Cheers from Steve KF7ARG in southern Oregon, I am always on CH38LSB

HI Vaughn,
thanks for the info, do you still have a original s-meter for the stoner ?
best regards Tom (DH4MAO)
Do you have any of the LED display segments?
I just bought 014 off Ebay
Hi Ernie, do you have more Information for the stoner owner list ? QTH and Skip ?
thanks Tom
Ernie, Can you send me a photo of the 014 you bought off Ebay cos I just saw it on You Tube in New Zealand.
Cheers,

I have #492, with uppers and 10m conversion, #268, stock, and #522, for parts. two speakers, and the meter bridge/coax switch, original D-104 and the black hand mic. For sale. Make offer.

I’ve since acquired one of Ted’s Stoner Pro-40’s, SN # 248 (not a typo), along with the SWR-40 meter bridge/coax switch, one of the SPK-40 external speakers, and the original black handheld mic. #248 was not stock however; it was half-modded for the upper ‘free’ bands (now completed and functional), and the clarifier was also opened up. I’ve added a small heatsink to the rectifier. I’ve also un-modded the meter, as it was changed for using an alternate matcher/tuner. This radio is simply amazing, as is in mint condition. Thank you so much, Ted.
Happy Valentine’s Day 2013 Everyone,
For your consideration, here is the long lost Layout Diagram of Exciter Board Assembly for the STONER PRO-40 SSB radio. It is the most important one too, as the alignment adjustments and calibrations are mostly on this board.

I have an original copy of the manual with other pages that have never surfaced online. I am in the process of restoring the scanned version and will upload it when completed.
Enjoy!

After years of pondering the purchase of a Pro-40 I finally pulled the trigger on one, possibly another. I’m now looking for accessories. If anyone has any -40 stuff you want to part with, please drop me a line. Hope to hear some of you on the air with your Stoners.
i have stoner 0190 does not recive just bought it also came with orginal speaker &cobra 21xlr for am any help would be appericated Thanks Rick.
what is the mic wiring code for the pro 40 ?
Stoner #322 just bought BuyitNow on ebay at $700 AUD – received well packed for the journey DownUnder to Portarlington Victoria. Great cosmetic condition but many mods to be fixed. RX OK TX carrier to 15watts with MIC button IN – 4 watts OUT on old hand mic that seems to suit after trying a Turner SSK and Kenwood MC-85 which did not.
I’m interested in buying a Stoner Pro 40,anyone know of one, that is for sale?
Regards Richard
