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

Re: Resistor Color Code - RMA Old Arrangement
My dad explained it to me, a good 60 years ago, as the 'body-end-dot' system.? Only once have I found a band instead of a dot as the 'decimal multiplier'.? The thing that took me the longest to

Re: HT-37 transformer failure due to rapid STBY-->OFF-->STBY
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

Re: HT-37 transformer failure due to rapid STBY-->OFF-->STBY
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

Re: HT-37 transformer failure due to rapid STBY-->OFF-->STBY
Rick, good to hear your furnace works in the summer, etc etc, But Re the switch, what is the obvious problem now, and what is causing it? I can imagine many reasons, but perhaps it boils down to

SX-23 Restoration - Information Requested
I am about to start restoration of an SX-23. ?It works but not perfectly. ?It was apparently recapped early in the plastic capacitor era but needs some cosmetic and mechanical help. ?I am asking

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.

Dynamic microphones and HT-44
When I first got my HT-44 running, I was using a high impedance Heathkit microphone and had no trouble achieving full output from the HT-44 with a relatively low mic gain setting (around 3).? When I

My Viking Valiant is probably a 1956 vintage transmitter. I am thinking that if,? in 68 years,? the "Bong" didn't hurt anything, it probably never will. Tom Raush W8JI designed most or all the

Re: HT-37 transformer failure due to rapid STBY-->OFF-->STBY
Halden, good information. I have not yet tried to understand the finals, bias etc, but I guess you are saying when going to STBY it takes a bit of time to unload the power draw, and it takes longer

Hi Don, Yep, the filaments are still loading the transformer so the voltage on one winding shouldn't go haywire by itself. You ask the very important question:? "does it?"? I actually have the
