Re: RCA RF Output Jack
开云体育I replaced the RCA jack with a BNC jack in My Heathkit rigs.? My Henry 1KD-5 amp also came with a BNC jack on the input side. 73, Justin B. - KI5GKD On 5/9/2025 9:51 PM, Steve N7AQ wrote:

开云体育? I just updated the following 2 ads on QTH and thought that ops on this server could be the Better caretaker: ? ? SEE ATTACHED PIX: ? A S-76 RECEIVER on top at 46lbs with the right most large microvolt/S-meter glass removed The mechanicals of the meter/indicator are shot. Cosmetically pretty beat; bottom front case rust, but no internal penetration. Was capable of 538khz thru 34 mhz in its day. Will need work!

Replacement Coiled Cord for Shure 404C Microphone
First I want to thank everyone for their suggestions and guidance regarding my question about lubricating the VFO assembly of a SR-150.? I appreciate the good information. I purchased a new old stock Shure 404C microphone to use with the SR-150.? Unfortunately the rubber coiled cord is in poor shape and wondered if there might be a suggestion for a source of a replacement coiled cord.? The cord has a shield conductor and one other conductor for PTT. Thank you!? Steve N7AQ |
Re: Hallicrafters S40-B Restoration Advice
Hi Richard,
?
I restored a S-40B a couple of years ago.? The advice provided already is of course very sound.? A tactic I like to do is replace the bulk power supply caps first and then fire up the radio and see how it plays.? It sounds like you've done a power up and it's generally working.?
?
Another thing to note is regarding the RF alignment.? There are holes in the bottom of the cabinet to facilitate tuning, and this must be done with the chassis installed in the cabinet. It's quite tricky because you can't really see well.? I was able to shine a flashlight in adjacent holes and I was still barely able to see what I was doing.? Maybe you won't have to mess with the RF tuning at all.? If you do, it would be helpful to get the lay of the land first with the cabinet off and maybe even do some rough tuning if necessary.? The coils all have beeswax seals.? If you are going to adjust them, it would be helpful to find the slots before the cabinet goes on, do the tuning, then remove the cabinet and re-melt the wax with a heat gun.
?
It's a good radio and the internal speaker sounds quite nice.

Re: Audio Gain Pot-Replacement
I want to thank every one for their thoughts!? After a lot of thinking on this, I have decided to let the pot as it is!? Might not be the best decision, but my wife wants the dining room table back!? And I just am not up to this project, at 77 I might not see it completed!!!!! Thank you all for you thoughts/ ideas!? George |
