Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
I saw another article or two indicating DC to an area of mostly textiles , and elevators in apartments. My guess would be that houses, apt units, would want the new gadgets that mostly ran on AC, but

Re: Hallicrafters SX17 modifier noise limiter
PS, I am aware that the 6H6 was used as a modification in the SX28 and I have found and downloaded a circuit diagram for that modification as a reference. Possibly the SX17 circuit might be be similar

Hallicrafters SX17 modifier noise limiter
I have been working on a hallicrafters SX17 receiver and so far work is progressing (audio and detector circuit restored and interstage transformer replaced) although a bit slowly and cautiously.

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
I don't know. The articles I found don't make it clear. I can't even find a list of cities that had DC power. Evidently New York, or at least Manhattan did and parts of Boston. Power was

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
Jim, I just wanted to pinpoint that any AC power transmission system made of wires is ruled by transmission line theory. As such, some effects that are more easily seen in the RF domain, like SWR,

Re: Very Nice 8R-40 Incoming!
The 8R-40 information on the Web indicates that its chassis is laid out essentially the same as my S-40B with the exception that the 5Y3 is replaced by a solid state rectifier so the 8R-40 has only

Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
If it is a matched lossless transmission line then there is no reflected power so the load receives 100% of the power!? Or at least that is the theory.? <grin>Jim Re: [HallicraftersRadios] S-38B
Re: S-38B Tuning Shaft Query
Good luck with the S-38B. My original one was accidently included in a bunch of stuff I had in storage and sold. It was in pretty bad shape (my fault). I have an S-38 in the queue for restoring.
