Gentlemen
The SP210SX has recovered its voice. The interstage audio transformer T7
with the open primary was replaced with one from an SP110. I took the
opportunity to replace a couple of resistors with values way over
tolerance.capacitors in this section had already been replaced. Now a good
cleanup and back to the original cabinet. This is one of my favorite rigs.
T7 was the victim of many years combined with tropical humidity, part of
the wonders of maintaining a BA collection in the tropics or torrid zone as
these latitudes were called in the middle ages. It would be interesting to
know if anyone has found a good alternative for T7 among available
transformers.
Next project is my SX28. The bandspread indicator cord just broke. I have
an epidemic of problems all humidity related even though I cycle my radios
regularly.
Thanks for all the help guys
