[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters S-19R

[Joe Walden]

>From Joe in Okla.   I want to thank all the members that have sent me emails
concerning the S-19R and the non running oscillator on band 4,16mc to 46mc
band.  I have taken notes,tested and changed parts with no success.  As a
last resort,I tested the windings on the oscillator coil with a accurate
ohms tester.   I found the Osc coil measured zero ohms where as the tickler
coil measured 4 tenths ohms to 5 tenths ohms.     I believe this is too much
resistance for the tickler coil,but what do I know?   As the tickler coil is
hidden underneath the osc coil it cannot be seen for inspection.    I would
still like to find another coil from a parts unit and see if that will fix
the problem? Although, I have received a couple of other email stating they
have experienced the same trouble and had no fix...  If someone has a parts
unit,I would like to purchase a band four coil.. The band four coil stands
perpendicular by itself and has a  trimmer capacitor across the top.   It
mounts with two metal screws and is close to the band switch.  It has 5
terminals,3 on the top and 2 on the bottom next to the chassis.  You can
just clip each wire a little ways from  each terminal  and I will clean it
up...    Please email me at  w5jdy at cox.net   if you can help me and I will
send you some cash.....Joe   w5jdy reinventing the wheel in Norman Okla.
