[ARC5] AVA-126 Vibrator Trivia

[Jack Antonio]

I went to my notes on the AVA-126 and thought I'd pass
some info on.

First, there is both an AVA-126 and AVA-126A.  Both sets
will work on both 6 or 12 volts, depending on the vibrator,
but the A version adds provision for 24V operation with still
another vibrator.  In all cases some internal wiring changes
need to be made.


The RCA numbers are

6V   MI-19602-1    stock #  45301
12V  MI-19602-2    stock #  45302
24V  MI-18602-3    no stock number found


My 1945 Radiart catalog lists both a 6V and 12V vibrator with
the proper basing diagrams, but does not reference the AVA-126

These are:

6V  5355   basing diagram OA

12V 5356-14  basing diagram OB

The catalog lists these as nitrogen filled aviation units.



My 1956 Radiart catalog cross references the AVA-126 and AVA-126A

6V  5510 basing diagram OA

12V  6511 basing diagram OB

This catalog also lists the MI-19602-3 vibrator(calling it a 12V
unit), but says there is no replacement for it.

If anyone has any 5356-14 or 6511 units sitting on the shelf gathering
dust, I'm sure a good home could be found for them.
