I wonder if that disc cap took a hit when that tiny wire at the bottom was shorting it out ? Would that cause this situation?

Well fellas, then I most absolutely have a issue then, what would cause such a thing ? It acts just like I described, let's say a 1 watt deadkey going in, if I adjust the drive for maximum output power I get at least 900 watts deadkey on the meter, with no modulation added. Even with less going...

It's kinda hard to explain I guess but it would be hard to get it to adjust correctly with let's say a cobra 2000 or something with a 4 watt deadkey, it does real well on my 2950 but I can set it low enough to where it is hardly deadkeys anything, I set the "drive" so the box deadkeys around 200...

One thing that seems kinda different from all my other boxes though is the "Drive" adjustment on the front, all I know is I can't adjust it for max deadkey output or max smoke like I do all the other tube linears I have, with a 1/4 watt deadkey or less going in I can adjust that drive where it...

Hi, tubes all max the meter out on a B&K 747b tube tester the box is now putting out well over 900 pep avg. On a MFJ giant lots more on peak but that's running it kinda hard with 25 watts pep going in. So she is doing exactly what she is supposed to do. The issue was that tiny piece of wire...

I just put in new 1N5408 in the rectifiers place and replaced that cap by it and she took right off again thankfully

Been running that machine and it is working fairly good now till tonight, more common fun LOL

Indeed Nomad but just makes me wonder how, the tube had to be bad from the start because the radio and the meter never worked correctly and the tube had tested great and appeared the getter was in the tube, not sure what occurred but once that tubed actually cracked and I replaced it the...

Lone behold I got home from work and started playing with the reciever again and it didn't take long to locate the issue! LOL ! That tube had been tested and tested good but when I went to move it from V5 to V7 and after I inserted it this happened, it had to have cracked when I installed it...

Today I also read the old thread on the drifting fix That Nomad has, for the most part I paid attention to the part where he cleaned the back of the dial shaft with twine to make a good ground, I will definitely be looking into that as it makes sence but not so sure that is going to fix the...

I did finally get it to start receiving last night on and off, it would work one time and not the next. Seems like anytime I would tap on or resolder the joints around the variable cap for the channel selector or the coil or anything in that area the recieve would come back, one time I was even...

Checked, tested, and even replaced all just for the heck of it with the same exact results, it's not the meter, reciever does not change channels and not receiving correctly

This is as good as I can see it loosecannon

Hi I have a Browning mark 3 reciever that is not acting correctly and wondered if anyone has run into the issues I am having, so far I have cleaned the relay in the transmitter and tested all the tubes and they all tested good ! The issue is the meter is peaked and never drops down when it warms...

Loosecannon, I don't see any reason why ya couldn't probably install a socket and use a standard Omron MY4 like I did in my other box

It is a absolute screemin demon now Nomad, running just the way it should I believe, very impressive!

That one ?

Also, should I be concerned with this ? Not sure why they didn't add the resistor here it looks like they put a drilled out set screw here instead, anyone know anything about that ?

I did find that there last night when I moved the lead of the cap on the coil and that may have very well been shorting it out ! When you zoomed in and showed my photo I thought there may have been more or sagged solder there but no it was that copper wire and I am thinking that was probably...

Yeah, alot more than it was when I first made that comment it was only wanting to do 600 tops
