Re: s 38C tube line up


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Howard,

Download the S-38C manual and the tubes are listed in the SERVICE PART LIST
page.

V1 is 12SA7 Converter
V2 is 12SG7 IF Amplifier and BFO
V3 12SQ7 or 12SQ7GT/G Detector and audio amplifier
V4 50L6GT Audio output
V5 35Z5GT Rectifier
LM-1 Lamp, dial, type #47



The DjVu reader is required to read the file. If you're running Linux then the Xreader 4.0.2
will load and display the DjVu file ( I run Linux Mint ).

Well, I did it again.... brought home a sad looking S-38C.

It isnt in bad shape, all the knobs and parts are there.? It doesnt play, however.?? I did bring it up on a variac, with a dim bulb . All I get is a slight hum out og the speaker... Guessing tome for new filter caps ( no biggie).? In looking at various schematics, I am finding both? 35z5, 50L6, 12sq7, 12sa7, 12sk7 , and 12sa7 12sk7 , 12sg7 35z5, 50L6 as tube line ups.? Seeing as mine had a 6sk7 in it (my guess someone had low line voltage?), I am trying to figure out which line up is correct.
?
Is there an easy way to do this , other than looking at tube socket wiring (and who knows if mine is correct)??? Any ideas?????
