Don.
The bleeders are the likely culprit, and the replacement capacitors may also have an effect.? Three 68uf 450V capacitors replaced the two 20uf at 600 V capacitors; about 22uf versus 10uf in the

Re: Re-membered (new to me) HT-37
Oh, after looking, the bleeder is rather too small to make that difference.

Also expect a voltage increase due to switching to semiconductor rectifiers though 250v seems like quite a bit. I only experienced increase like this when I removed the swinging choke which was not

Re: Re-membered (new to me) HT-37
Thoughts on the dead 40M scenario. Trace the signal path and esp take a
hard look at the band switch and any series chokes that might be open.

Re-membered (new to me) HT-37
Hello all.
Somehow, this group disappeared from my groups.io list, so I re-applied.
Back in the 1970's I ran an HT-37 with good results--a fine transmitter.? I sold it to a friend, and after about 6

Hi Don,
Yes, it's a 0.5 ohm resistor.? I noted this in the post just before the one you cited.
