[Hammarlund] HQ-180 Alignment issues

[AW Parker]

Hi Ron,
	On the 3035kc cans, you may have all bad internal caps.  They are 
molded into the can's base, you can see where they are by removing the 
shield on some, not all.  I have some pix somewhere of how I cut into 
those bases and was able to disconnect the molded in cap and put some 
external caps (100pf IIRC) externally on the pins.  It's not much fun to 
do, but if you're at max L, sounds like the C is way low.
	I just looked for the pix, they're AWOL at the moment, I'll try agn in 
the AM.

= (snip) NOW moving on to the 3035 KHz alignment, I injected an 
unmodulated 3035.00 KHz signal at the grid of V2 ( pin 7 ) and tried to 
peak L4 and T5 thru T1 as prescribed BUT I can not get a peak! in all of 
the cans the maximum reading occurs with the adjustment all the way 
bottomed out (max inductance). My first thought was that the frequency 
is not centered but as far as I can tell all of the frequencies are spot on.
