HP-1421A Q109 Voltages


 

Does anyone have a readable schematic for the A101 board in a 1421A? I have a paper manual on order but until that arrives, I would appreciate finding out the voltages shown for Q109 (Page 5-16, Figure 5-9). From what I can tell, the online scan appears to show:

C: +48V
B: -8.8V
E: -9.4V

The value for B is particularly blurry but would like to know for sure what all of those are.

Thanks,
Barry - N4BUQ


 

Here's a clean scan of the section you are looking at.

Chuck,

Thank you so much for that. I couldn't tell if that was a + or a - in front of the base voltage but that shows it clearly as +.

Thanks again,
Barry - N4BUQ

-8.8V seems much more plausible, with the emitter -9.4V

That's what I kept thinking - especially since everything else that's connected to the base is negative.? Could that be a typo?

HP has almost the same exact circuit with -8.5V in one state (lamp is on) and -11.4V (lamp is off) in another state. Looking at 1421 schematic, few voltages look like typos.?

Copy/paste didn't work.
HP 1821 has almost the same circuit.

The 1821A is very similar for the reset lamp circuit, the voltages are negative on the base, picture below is from the repair of my 1821A, the lamp had failed in that one.

I got a chance to test the circuit just a bit.? I placed a 47k resistor between the base of Q109 and ground.? That caused the lamp to illuminate so the transistor is still good.? I just need to determine why the base voltage is being held at or below the emitter voltage.

Thanks,
