Thanks Larry! I really appreciate it. Our domestic and International

Re: S-85 refurbish: I've got a problem during the RF alignment of bands 1 and 2 - trimcaps don't peak!
Emanuele, no need to reply to this, it is more for others that have an S-85. I don¡¯t blame you for being fed-up with this radio, and giving up; we all have had that feeling, but for the benefit of

Re: S-85 refurbish: I've got a problem during the RF alignment of bands 1 and 2 - trimcaps don't peak!
Guys,
one of the reasons I wants to give up with this one is the poor design in the ANT RF circuitry.
I noticed the schematic diagram anomalies, both the 1&2 bands wiring error and the fancy S1A-REAR

Maynard, the arrows inside the wafers do the trick for me, together with the ¡°shown in band 4 position¡± general note.

Pete - I have ordered several manual reprints via your company.? I find the product to be just as good (if not better) than an original.? The Heathkit manuals are sort of a benchmark for me and

Hi Maynard , this was my posting not the OP Emanuele¡¯s but I will convey my understanding.
First off: this is one manual version or copy. Perhaps there are others that look correct.. And/or there

Another interesting thing about the diagram: The S-40B diagram has "(FRONT)" and "(REAR)" but not "(FRONT) VIEWED FROM REAR" as for the S-85. The S-40B diagram does show both clockwise and

I agree that the lefthand diagram seems wrong. Note the arrows that show rotation in opposite directions to synchronize the contacts on the wafer as you view each side of the wafer.

Emanuele and all
This is from BAMA for mark 1A and 1B and makes no sense to me, so I rewired it at the right.

Emanuele RE I decided to leave it alone, I give up. Don¡¯t do that, the radio is 99.777% , just some strange thing left. It¡¯s ok to take a break and let the brain cool down.

I used a sig-gen and the SA just as a "receiver" to "see" the LO signal and followed the service manual instructions.
