[HBR] HBR 8 vs 13C : )

[Paul Dulaff]

Bill

Amount of work isn't a whole lot more (IMHO) from the 8 to the 13C. In my experince I had the most trouble (I was about 14 years old at the time) getting the 3 plug-in coils working and tracking right. This challenge exists on either the 8 or the 13C. Having the AGC function taught me alot about how an AGC functions on a real receiver.

All that said, the most important thing is have fun with this !

Greetings Paul
   Thanks for the head's up on the chassis.  I have an acquaintance  
here in La Crosse that does these things, and am thinking of having  
him build me at least two of them in case I make a mistake in cutting  
holes et cetera.  I have the cabinet it needs a good restoration, so  
it limits my chassis size, but it should be big enough for the  
project.  I was kinda of thinking of going through the whole series  
and learning everything I can from what these guys went through,  
that's why I was thinking of starting with 8, but I can go through at  
least SOME of their teachings VIA the text that has been preserved  
for us : )  So after I hear from guys like you and read this series  
over a time or two, then I might just might know which way why and  
how to go about it...  I know I could save a lot of time going  
straight to the finished product, but am wondering if learning of the  
whys and wherefores of the circuits changes were made and what  
happened then is worth my efforts.  I'm thinking at least for now of  
studying the material and saving parts for awhile until I start  
getting confident and learn what you guys have done.

    Anyone else out there do the HBR 8 thru HBR XX  ???   Would like  
to know why you did or did not do the things you did or didn't  
do : )  you may help me or others avoid a few pitfalls along the  
way.  OH, I did by the way start to go through the archives.  I'm  
saving the posts that help me in my directional foray.  : )
Thanks everyone
Bill
