Re: For Sale: Electric Radio Magazine Collection
I have a complete set too (I subscribed at about issue 7 and have been a subscriber ever since) and I refer to them often. This is quite a bargain, even with the cost of shipping these days. John K5MO

Re: HT-37 transformer failure due to rapid STBY-->OFF-->STBY
Yeah, the furnace in the summer thing does seem like a tangent to be sure. But the point was of course illustrating that the same will happen to a switch, relay contacts and/or even two wires twisted

Hi Don I took off a few layers of insulation to get that far.? The small winding partly obscured by some clear tape near the top of the "gap" is the YEL 5.0 V winding.? The 6.3V winding covers about

Halden, a good and most interestion shot!! I guess you have pealed back the top layer of insulation, which we see at the top. I guess it was taken more from the left side so the right looks a bit

Resistor Color Code - RMA Old Arrangement
A note about the color code on resistors in the SX-23 and perhaps other receivers of this vintage. ?The colors stand for the same numbers as in current practice but the bands are read differently.

Re: Dynamic microphones and HT-44
The mic amp in the 44 is designed to achieve full power out with 0.005vrms at the mic input. To test the dynamic mic place a 100K resistor across the mic voice line and repeat the words 3, 4, 3, 4.
