    Yep, that drops the voltage, from 1 to 9 volts, and in between.

    Here is the channel selector cable that needs to be replace before going too much further.

    I think the VR you meant is VR107, I see it in the schematic, but not on the board...still looking. I see the point [4] is supposed to be at 7.9V as well, and that is the 9V I'm seeing. So I think it might need to have that 9V at reference [4] reduced somehow to the 7.9V.

    Adjusting the VR1 inline with the resistor and diode makes no difference

    Mixer IC I think

    I get it, I will check and see. I seem to lose the 10.24 at C119 a 22pf. I have it on one side closest to the pin1, but lose it on the other side. I pulled the diode and it shows 24pf...should I even be able to see it on the far side? Not sure all this RF stuff and signals work. It's all a...

    I wish I would have seen this before I started messing with this 611. Not the same really, but a good explanation of the Sardine Can. The one in this 1-641 has 2 more X-tals in it than the 611 version, but a good pre-requesite to get an understanding of what Royce does. He also has what looks...

    My niece has 2 of these, and 3 kids...the dogs out pace the kids on the energy level.

    OK, looking around a little more, I find that the Royce 619 shows a Sardine Can PLL that I think is very close to what I'm looking for. They call it an M2 U27 PLL, and that woke me up on what's happening. I'll upload a not very well scanned schematic of it. From this, the pin1 that I have...

    Mixer IC I think

    I have to get the channel selector back working and hooked up. The ribbon cable has the insulation peeling, actually more like cracking, off the wires and has no flexibility. I have some ribbon cable on way and it should be here today sometime. Hopefully it will be what I need, or at least allow...

    If you were a pirate broadcaster, what's playing right now?

    Some early Sammy, with Ronnie. Or if you have some time, and remember when they used to play albums on weekends...early 70's ROCK AND ROLL

    Another revelation, the 2002 is not the PLL. There is an IC under the X-tal I did not see that is a CCI3001. Now to start again getting readings from that IC. Regardless though, I still don't have the 1..24 at the CCI2001 Gets more confusing to me now. Pin1 of the 3001 has 18.205 and pin3 has...

    Mixer IC I think

    I took some voltage readings from the PLL. I don't seem to have the 9V on pin 10 as I should. Schematic has it getting it's 9V from the point [3] which is the regulator Q401, which I do have the 9V where it should be. Unless I'm missing something, I don't see where the 9V travels to the PLL. I...

    On the bottom of the sardine can on this unit are 14 pins, unlike the 24 in the previous diagram. On those, 3 and 8 have 6.47, and 9, 10, 12 have 12V. That's reading from the back of the board forward. Or the top down i the pic. I also took a voltage reading on Q401 (2SC1096), which is the...

    Channel Selector ribbon cable

    I went out into the garage to have a look around for my old cables. I think I may have had a moment of being tired of looking at all the junk I had and have laying around and tossed them. I have moments of just being frustrated trying to find things I know I have, and just filling the trash...

    Channel Selector ribbon cable

    Thanks, I did look at that as well. I get really confused with the metric measurements. Guess being taught in SAE most of my learning period in life, it's hard to grasp the whole metric thing. I don't know why we went to a European standard anyway, but that's another topic. For what I could...

    Channel Selector ribbon cable

    I think it's about 6" or so long. It's still in the radio so hard to tell. I ordered some BNTECHGO 28 Gauge Silicone Ribbon Cable Flexible 10P. I'll have to pull a 4 pin section off and add it to make the 14 pin configuration. The problem with a lot of the IDE type and other ribbon cables...

    I have all the channel selector leads apart as the wires and insulation have broke down and broke.

    I'll take some measurements in the morning on the pins at the bottom of the PLL "can" and see whats up. If I'm not getting the 10.240 at the PLL it may be bad. I can read 10.240 at the X-tal itself tho

    OK, I just found some more information on the PLL section "sardine can" PLL. I will have a look at it later and take some measurements. Here's what I have from my book.

    Mixer IC I think

    So by looking at this, the PLL should have the 10.240 at TP1, and be feeding it to the 2001 mixer? Or am I reading this the wrong way.
