[Hammarlund] HQ-145 misprint or what?

[Bob Camp]

Hi

These radios were done by hand. Early in the production process, they probably did not have all the “normal mistakes” cataloged for the inspectors. What you have is a prime example of how a test escape trashes the company’s reputation rather than getting fixed in the field.

BUT, get this, The original diagram shows a 2.2k (R-44) from pin #1 of this same tube where the one I have is 470K. Now, the resistor from Pin #6 shows 470k on the diagram but mine is 2.2k. Looks like these resistors were reversed for some reason. Doesn't look like any one has ever touched them. As for the rest of the circuits, its the same as the original manual diagram.
