SR-75 Coil Winding Data


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Thanks Don,

?

The SR-75 coil data is as follows:

?

Form length is 2.375¡± Diameter 1.375¡±, Thickness is .05¡± ?4 holes are drilled to accommodate 6-32 screws, two on each end at the spacing of the jacks on the chassis and two more to allow for the insertion of a small solder lug? that the coil wire is attached to. A spacer bar is also used for the 80 and 20 meter coils where a cap is attached t the center banana pin. It¡¯s not used on 40 and 10 meters.

?

The banana plugs are Pomona #3265 available from the usual suppliers. I bought mine from Mouser.

?

10 meter coil is 1.28 uh and 6 turns of #18 tinned copper

20 meter coil is 4.3 uh and 12 turns of #18 ¡°

40 meter coil is 10.3 uh and 20 turns of #18¡±

80 meter coil I have no means to measure but it is 26 turns of #22 enameled copper wire

?

The inductance was provided by Chris Farley who provided pictures which I can forward to anyone who needs to see the construction.

?

The 80 meter coil I made has the correct number of turns but the original seems to have had some wider spacing however both work the same as near as I can tell.

?

I have extra coil forms already drilled if anyone needs them. I have extra screws and 3/8¡± nylon spacers as well. I built a coil winder out of scrap material which seems to work pretty well. The coils were sealed with polyurethane.

?

I hope this provides enough info for anyone to reproduce them. My email is nj2r@...

Roger

congratulations on your ingenuity? and perseverance? ?too!

you guys are in the real ham spirit... spread it around!

I once saw a real SR-75 at a swap, but a minute later when i got to the table, it was gone !

I hope you give it some work to do.

Hi Randy,

?

I picked up a SR-75 in May with only the 80 meter coil. With the help of Chris Farley who had the 40, 20 and 10 meter coils I was able to determine the turns count and wire size.?

?

I then bought Bakelite tubing exact size, the solder lugs, spacers, and Pomona banana plugs. I wound coils using enamel wire but just bought the tinned copper to make the coils again to look more original.?

?

I have a good number of additional forms and hardware except for the banana plugs which are readily available.?

?

When I get to my desktop I can send pictures, wire size and turn count. The 80 meter coil I made works identically to the Hallicrafters original. The 40 meter coil also works well.?

?

I¡¯ve recapped my SR-75 and it does as the manual reads on transmit. The voltages are now nearly exact as shown on the tone socket chart in the manual ?

?

What has me baffled is how to connect or transform the transmit output to 50 ?ohms. I have no idea how much power it¡¯s really putting out at this point!?

?

BTW I sourced the 4 pin plug for the key and 50L6 plate current/light bulb indicator. I have a couple of those.

?

I¡¯d love to hear from others who have experience with this unique transceiver.?

?Hello Everyone,

I am new to the group here. I am helping rebuild an HT-17 and an SR-75, and was hoping someone could help me with coil data What I am looking for is either winding data or an inductance value for the following:

HT-17: 40m, 15, and 10m coils
SR-75: 80m, 40m, 20m, and 10m coils

The likelihood of finding these as complete units is pretty low, so we are going to make our own. Any information would be appreciated!
