Jim, ?my reply wording is in green, inserted after your wording in black

There is no need to correct anything. ???If anyone is still following this thread, the point has been made that there is a phase difference between I&E in a reactance.?…补驳谤别别诲 in a reactance.?? ?In fact, this is the very meaning of the word "reactance."? ?But to see this clearly, both have to be measured at the same time and place. …yes for a simple reactor.? ??Measuring I in one transformer winding and voltage in another will not show this special relationship. … you began with a reactance now are talking about, a transformer which is different beast and it also does have special relationships.?? These transformers have coils much like Faraday’s induction coils, but they have in addition a continuous iron core looping inside all windings.? Due to the very high permeance of these transformer cores and the elimination of air gaps and how they are built,? every turn in the whole thing sees 99% of the common flux and flux change, and thus the same volts? in every turn, so you can look at the voltage waveform on any winding.?? But be sure not to drive the source voltage way up into saturation where the primary is very non-linear, and the simple linear formulas fall apart.??

So now your words about volts and amps stops and I still can’t find any place where I said? “voltage and current are in phase in reactive circuits”? which you stated I said ..So to get back to your claim about what you claim I said; “where did I say that.. please” I still cannot find that, yet you say? you were quoting me?? please clear this up while I still believe it was an accident in the process of copying comments.??

Somehow, now you seem have switched your subject matter to a different phrase; “Halden’s current was about in-phase with the voltage” which I did say, and was clearly speaking of his transformer test, and which showed the current very close to in-phase with the voltage on his images that I had been speaking of, and that is what I would expect to see with a resistor load on a good transformer, having low magnetizing current.? What he posted is what he did and what I was commenting on. I’m glad he did what he did ??If the load gets lower and lower, at some point the mostly reactive magnetizing current will? dominate.

I look at this forum as a means to share knowledge about these fine radios. …补驳谤别别诲,?? I understand that some of us come to this forum without a solid understanding of component fundamentals and that is OK.? It is not really necessary to go into the technical weeds when one already realizes that old waxed paper & foil capacitors should be replaced, even before one applies AC power.? Tubes should be checked for emission and shorts and while cleaning the chassis, look for signs of damage.? Always check any fuses for the proper value!? …another topic, but there is also lots of room to discuss why something fails which seems to be Halden’s topic? as asked on post #1:? I've known this since the late '70s, but never knew what happens electrically and what the failure mode is.? Has anyone here opened up a transformer that failed in this way and found an open or a short? ??

Just keep in mind that these radios were designed and built with an eye on cost.? The best components were too expensive to use.? That is not to say that hallicrafters radios did not perform well, they certainly did but comparisons have to be made with other radios in the same price class.? It should go without saying that a radio of the same era costing 10 times the price should perform better. …? that is another topic

One last thing, don't be afraid of challenging "common knowledge."? There is a lot out there that is considered "undeniable facts" but which falls apart when one takes a closer look. …yes, yes, and yes.?

Back to fixing up nice old radios,???? … good, but I am still waiting for the clarification I requested.

I am leaving previous postings in tack, as
