SX-117 Power transformer Voltage
Hello, I am restoring a SX-117. A former owner replaced the original transformer by a transformer with a primary voltage of 220 Volt. The secondary voltage of this transformer is much too high. I

Re: S-85 refurbish: I've got a problem during the RF alignment of bands 1 and 2 - trimcaps don't peak!
*MEA CULPA!!? SORRY!! SORRY!! SORRY!! SORRY!! SORRY!!* As Jacques suggested I had to double check the measuring setup. Nothing strange in there but a leap of imagination on my part: for convenience

SR-150 and SR-160 QRO modifications
(Since this is a diversion from the original topic (SR-500 Tornado), I assigned a new topic.) Thanks, Bob and Walt, Since the SR-160 and SR-150 both use 12DQ6B finals, wouldn't the sockets be the same

Since you are having strange problems I would suggest not trusting rivets to make a good ground connection.? Much better to solder the riveted grounds to the chassis at the tube sockets and the
Re: S-85 refurbish: I've got a problem during the RF alignment of bands 1 and 2 - trimcaps don't peak!
Hi Emanuele, I do not understand why the measurement of the L3 and C7A values can be good and the combination of the two so wrong. The only thing I do not see correct in your setup is the use of the
Re: SR-500 Tornado
For the 160-500 conversion, the correct power supply is the P-500 or the PS-500-AC. The PS-500A-AC does not have the bias adjustment. If you want to use later versions of the PS-500XXXXX then you

Re: SR-500 Tornado
Hi All, To wrap up part of this discussion, Walt Cates' repair guide for the SR-160/SR-500, section 9.11, lists the changes needed to convert the SR-160 to an SR-500. Other than some component

*Jacques* , I repost the measuring setup: The RF probe is an active FET probe ( https://www.ebay.it/itm/334454149650?itmmeta=01JMQYZJDRAM0KEYJVF1A8M4WB&hash=item4ddf055212:g:Q3QAAOSwIipZzBvz ) with

Jim Sorry about your fall, but you still take really good pics. R31 must have been a last minute addition, so no terminal block was available. Maybe parasitic resonance? Sent: Saturday, February

Ah, yes....the SR-10 and SR-11.......the 10 cost (if memory serves) about $120 and for another $10 (?) the SR-11 came with a 'pi' function key I have an almost totally intact SR-52 (mag card reader)

Good luck healing up. I have had a couple of much milder falls, they do a lot of damage. I wish I knew any magic about backs, you would be welcome. I have similar problems with lifting and also

Hi Emanuele! It takes me a bit of time to respond to these things... I had a serious fall in January and broke my back in 3 places so I am hobbling around in a back brace and cannot lift anything

Hi Don, Speaking of slide rules¡­ I used one in my first year at the technical school, but the next year, the HP-35 and the TI hand calculators came in (halleluiah !). Just making a

Re: S-85 refurbish: I've got a problem during the RF alignment of bands 1 and 2 - trimcaps don't peak!
Hi Jacques I also had a similar concern/thought, but since the alignment had indicated too much capacitance, both were in general agreement, so not so much need to ask. I think the original sweeps

Hello Emanuele, One time again, I performed some calculations from your test results below. IF there is no error in the C7A capacitor and L3 sections measurements, your test results constantly shows
Re: S-85 refurbish: I've got a problem during the RF alignment of bands 1 and 2 - trimcaps don't peak!
Some additional info: disconnecting BS variable condenser doesn't change things significantly. Here are measurements (ANT circuit only): I then disconnected C33 from V1 pin4 and moved the probe to C3
Re: S-85 refurbish: I've got a problem during the RF alignment of bands 1 and 2 - trimcaps don't peak!
Emanuele, as you seek out more and more long-shot ideas for your original problem set, sometime you might contemplate the probability that an "almost same" C7 somehow managed to get the right S-85

Emanuele the side view of L3, and L6 shows more spacing between coils than the earlier ¡°almost end views¡± did, and consequently in my mind, the mutual coupling and trimmer tuning interaction

Agree Jacques, I did some poking around as well and found what you described. Thanks,?Tom

Jim, as your measurements look good, can you post detailed pictures of your S-85 ANT and MIX sections? I would like to check the wiring in mine... -- Emanuele
