Re: SX-117 AVC pumping
Floyd,
I¡¯m curious as to the type of capacitor that was replaced. Hallicrafters often used the Cornell Dubilier ¡°Tiny Chief¡± type in many of their products. These have a pink-0colored

Re: SX-117 AVC pumping
Finally resolved the AVC pumping problem.? As I mentioned, AVC pumping by off-frequency signals occurred only with the selectivity switch in the 2.5 position.? So, looked for what's different with

Re: HT-37 transformer failure due to rapid STBY-->OFF-->STBY
Hi Don,
I think your post 30781 refers to the second image (TEK0007) in my post 30774.? Thanks for your comments on what's going on there.? It seems reasonable.? Unfortunately, the first image in

SX-117 AVC pumping
A rainy day here and thought I'd dig into the SX-117 again and investigate the AVC pumping situation that's been discussed in the past.? For those not familiar with the problem, the symptom is that

Halden good that you are still testing, here is how I see the images.
The second one seems to show turn on at voltage negative peak, very small fast transient in voltage when switch closes. no

Here's an interpretation of the surge according to the theory that it represents the transformer core reaching saturation.
In image #49, which shows the strong surge, one can see that the current

I hauled by HT-37 to the dual-trace storage scope and inserted a 0.5 ohm resistor into the neutral side of the power supply.? Here's a little bit about what I found.
