[ARC5] BC-454-B Power

[Robert P. Meadows]

How about checking the wiring against a proper schematic.  Then you will know.  First check the tubes.  A quick change to 12v filaments is to install 6 v filament tubes…

 

Not hard

I recently acquired a BC-454-B (without dynamotor) that I suspect may have been wired for 12 Volt power.  The DC resistance across the dynamotor power input to ground measures 2 Ohms.  Is this normal for this receiver?  Shouldn't it be more on the order of 8 Ohms?

Thanks for any clarification that anyone might have on this.  Mike W6MAB
