[Boatanchors] Hammarlund HQ-160...

[Gary Peterson]

I recently acquired a cosmetically cherry Hammarlund HQ-160.  It has low sensitivity on all bands, particularly the higher two, where it uses double conversion.

In doing measurements, I find that the resistance from pin 1 to ground on V4 (6BE6) measures 44.3 K ohms, instead of 22 K ohms.

Therefore, I believe that R 13, which is inside of the 2nd converter module, mounted on top of the chassis, has changed value.

It is not obvious to me how to remove the 2nd converter module, with T2 and the 6BE6 tube, in order to replace the resistor.

Does anyone have experience as to how to remove this module?

Thank you, in advance, for any time taken to reply to my question.
