Dear amigo Kees:
While re-organizing my garage,I was pleasently surprised to see the three
Hammarlund tandem connected capacitors that used to be part of my 
sorrily defunct HBR-14
receiver.
I remember it had a 1675 kiloHertz quartz crystal for the second 
conversion frequency
of 1600 kiloHertz... the second IF was 75 kiloHertz... maybe I will find 
the Millen 100 kHz
IF transformers that were padded down with extra capacity to work on 75 
kHz...
Sad to say, I took apart the radio to salvage the parts in order to make 
a 40 meters
band transceiver .... What a big mistake amigo !!!
Anyway, as I plan to retire pretty soon, and the three tuning capacitors 
for the RF
stage,the mixer and the first local oscillator are now ready to be 
cleaned and re-used
I now must find the HBR 14 's circuit diagram and start looking for the 
parts.
Got plenty of vacuum tubes, and I have not forgotten how to wind and rewind
power and audio transformers for tube equipment !!!
Keep up the good work with the HBR's Heritage Keith !!!
