Re: Type 106 Saga (Again)
I agree that it¡¯s more than a small amount of work to move the pin 6 wire to pin 9, but the only reason the wire is thick is for mechanical convenience during assembly. Use any wire you want, to

Stephen, you probably mean the Amplitude knob. The fact that the Amplitude knob still does something in the Fast Rise mode corresponds to what previously has been discussed by you and Dave. You

Well, I'm no polymer expert; what is the difference?? ?ISTR that acetate fabric was considered inferior to polyester; 3 decades ago we had to spend extra for polyester for my wife's wedding dress

He used that phrase on the Bob Pease show (of which far too few episodes exist, at least on YouTube), but I thought he was referring to acetate sheets, not vinyl sheets.

Generally if the above are radial power supply caps with white or silver-ish look, likely after 50 years, they are bad. Any modern ones will be physically smaller, and likely have a

Re: Input output question for attenuator
It may not matter for this attenuator.? Definitely it does on some high power models.? I've seen fixed attenuators that can handle hundreds of watts into one port but 50 W or less into the other.?

Input output question for attenuator
I have a JFW 50DR-077, this attenuator is cylindrical with rotating dials on the front.
Does anyone know which port is the input and which is the output, it doesn't seem to be labeled so I can't

Re: 7904 power supply repair
Morris,
You will not do any harm by using two separate transistors but depending how well the two Vbe are matched you will get an output which is not precisely +15V and since you have only one

Re: Type 106 Saga (Again)
I was wrong! You absolutely do need to modify the socket wiring to use EL84.
Some EL84 datasheets show pin 6 as IC instead of NC.
Tek wired the V64/74/84/94 screen grids using both pins 6 and 9. If

The EL84 datasheet I looked at listed pin 6 as NC. Safest to do the mod.
