I keep a bit of an eye out for them on ebay also
and have not seen any recently.

I am slowly building up my supplies for an attempted
construction.  I even was able to secure an unused
Eddystone dial.  Our big hamfest is coming up in
January and I hope to remember to take my tubes list
and pick up a few that I'm missing.

I have coil forms.
I need to get some ceramic octal sockets and some
octal bases for the coils.

I feel like I have enough power transformers and
such that I ought to be able to build a power supply.
But I'll watch for that too.  (And I have a Heath IP-17
to get started.)

I was very much lagging on this project until
I received the Hollow State Design book from
Electric Radio as a Christmas present.  Good stuff!

How much does an HBR command, on average?  I've been trying accumulate
parts for an HBR-11, but the tightest component is (of course) time.

Since this website was stated I have seen HBR receivers go for $50 for a so-so HBR-14 to $875 for a really nice HBR-13. Maybe someone knows of units outside this range. It all depends on overall condition, how complete the unit is, coil sets, good wiring practice, the dial used, the model, the buyer's desire, etc ....the usual stuff. I would venture to say the original units which appeared in the QST articles may even be more if they surface.

I would say most were in the $150 to $350 range for what looked like average/good construction. Additional input is welcome.

It's still amazing how nicely a good tube receiver works and how many are out there and were never parted out ....meant to be passed to the next generation. There is something special about that.

Hello Kees and the list, Merry Christmas

The lasting legacy of the HBR is the incredible number of these that were 
originally built, and are still around. I should have been grabbing Ebay 
pix for all of these that have gone by in the past 10 yrs or so. There were 
a BUNCH (several of which are here now) :-)

OK, found the error of my ways........Gerald's files have been uploaded to the website and are large but I had encoded the Brochure as a ".jpg" file and itshould have been a "pdf" file. Very nice brochure Gerald.

I guess I'm seeing T1a, T1b at first IF
and T2a, T2b, T3 and T4 at the second IF.

Drop T2b? or get a another 1st coil
from another command-set?

and T2a, T2b, T3 and T4 at the second IF.

Drop T2b? or get a another 1st coil
from another command-set?

I'd be happy to pay $150 for a mostly-complete chassis.  The dial is
already in my junkbox, and I have plenty of case options.  Sounds like I
need to search more diligently.

At last!  I have been saving pill bottles like the ones Clint employed  for 
his coil forms for ages.  Would love to see how he adapts (cements?)  the 
bottom of the bottle to the tube base to make them plug in to a socket and  
details about mounting the trimmer under the bottle cap.  Any chance you  
could talk him into an illustrative photo or two of his coils with some  
accompanying narrative, Kees?
 
Merry Christmas to all,

 Having seen this set in   person, I can attest to the superb build quality. If I didn't know it was an   HBR I would think it was a commercially built set. With a little deoxit to the   controls and slowly reform the electrolytics, I bet it would take right off   working.

Several months ago I sent pictures of my HBR 16 to someone in reference to
the HBR group here that they wanted to post the pictures on the web page. I
don't recall who that was and I haven't seen any pictures of it posted.
There were pictures of the award that it won at the Charlotte Antique Radio

GM to the list and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

I'm new to this reflector but have spent some time in the archives "catching up" on tales of the HBR.

I recently acquired an HBR-16 with one set of coils for 40m.  This particular set was built w/o an on-board power supply and doesn't have a calibrator. (I'll be using an external supply and will add the calibrator circuit later)

The chassis is a work of art and I didn't have the heart to cannibalize the rig and start from the beginning.  So, I've re-worked the existing chassis and made component upgrades where needed.  At this juncture, the rig is working nicely on 40m.  I still have a new front panel to fabricate for the Eddystone dial and an S-meter.

I'd like to add at least 80m and 20m (in that order) but alas, no coil forms.  At least not the American Phenolic 24-5p originals.  I'm guessing these are pretty much un-obtainable but I need to ask.   If anyone has any, even one, I'd be interested in purchasing them.  I have the APC caps so I only need serviceable coil forms.

I'm aware of the use of PVC and even pill bottles so I know there is an "out" if I cannot find some originals.

I do have a question of the group.  I have four BUD forms, the ribbed type with 5 pins.  And they measure the requisite 1.25" diameter.  However, I'm not sure just how well these work when compared to the 24-5p ones.  I used the microwave oven for 5 seconds to see if they heated up.  Well, not as much as some older 1920's forms but more than the clear plastic.  So, I'd expect a somewhat higher Q with the clear ones versus any others.  Am I off-base on this??  I'd sure appreciate any comments.  If anyone has experience with the BUD ribbed forms in an HBR please let me know your thoughts/experiences.

Thanks, All, for the BW and for reading this over.

Best to all in the New Year.

Concerning the coil forms, Larry Baker, WB5OFD, makes excellent replicas of the original Amphenol forms. His email address is wb5ofd at suddenlink.net.

Breck,

Many thanks for re-presenting your section on winding HBR coils.  There is a 
wealth of information here and it will certainly make life easier for those 
contemplating taking on the project.  I know that I have number of HBR coils 
to wind, and I have been putting it off.  Reading this material again, as 
upgraded, has given me a bit of a push.

One question:  With time the turns sometimes loosen as the Cu wire stretches 
and expands and contracts.  I have been wondering what you recommend to keep 
the turns in place after winding.  I know Crosby used Duco or some such 
cement in ribbons down the coil windings, but I am considering giving the 
whole coil a spritz of Krylon Clear.  Thoughts?

Happy New Year, Breck, and thanks again.

73,  Bill  W2DGB

I sold several hundred 4, 5 and 6 pin  NOS Meissner coil forms which are 
close to the specified coil form. One of the Signal Shifters used one of 
each to set the VFO range, and these were excess from the Meissner factory 
in Mt Carmel, I'll, and wound for oddball frequency ranges (at least from a 
hams' perspective)

If you're not in a hurry, I will have more of these available later this 
winter/early spring.   I didn't get rich on these!

Hi Bill,
 
I know this was addressed to Breck, but I'd like to throw in my $.02.
 
I have a Boonton 260-A Q-Meter and have measured coils before and after  
spraying with a pretty heavy coat of Clear Krylon and could measure no  
difference.  This was on coils with Q of about 200, so I'd say its fine to  use.  
It has very little solids, so it take quite a heavy coat to  leave much 
behind.  In my case it was on paper/cardboard formers, and  it held the wire 
nicely as well as added some strength to the formers.  It  also dries quickly 
which is nice.
 
Its always a good idea to measure the Q of any coil you wind.  A  Q-Meter 
is a great piece of test gear.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the heads up.  I looked this bunch over and there was only one (1) 5-pin form in the bunch.  So I will pass as I don't want to change out the 5-pin ceramic sockets on the rig.

But you have a good eye.   Thanks again.

Hi Dan,

A pleasure to make your acquaintance, and to receive your interesting 0.02 
worth.

I do have a Heath Q meter, along with the calibration coil, and have used it 
in the past for various inductance measurements.  And out in the barn I have 
a Boonton Q meter, model number unknown right now, but it is a heavy beast 
and would need work to make it useable.  So for now it stays there.

Re the Krylon, I somewhere got the message that it was OK to use.  My thanks 
for confirming that.  I never liked using Ted's idea of Duco cement...And I 
have the clear forms that were in the original specs for the #5 HBR that I 
am working on right now.  Never liked them either...they are much too 
fragile.  But over time I have learned a few tricks on how to handle them, 
so they will work.

Dan, out of curiosity, if I measure the coil, what do I do with the 
information?  A visual will, or should, tell me if there are any mistakes, 
and without some frame of reference (In Ted's literature, perhaps?) I wonder 
what the Q value will tell me.  Forgive my lack of knowledge here...my ham 
background is mostly self taught, with life sciences my training.

The HBR receiver and its story is a phenomenon for sure.  I was taken with 
it from day one, and am not surprised that a cult has grown up around the 
radio.

73, Dan, and Happy New Year,

Bill  W2DGB

Chuck,

One thought re the 5-pin forms and sockets.  On the current HBR I am working 
on, I adopted the scheme that Meissner used in their Signal Shifters with 
the plug-in coils.  With three coils, all 5 pin forms, and matching sockets, 
I decided to use the four, five, and six progression of sockets and forms to 
avoid plugging in the wrong coil.  (Of course this profound decision was 
helped along by not having enough 5-pin forms for a complete set.  But I did 
have enough for the 4-5-6 series.)

Happy New Year to all,

73,    Bill  W2DGB

Hello All

Given the strategy that Bill describes below, I can likely satisfy the 
would be HBR building community with Meissner coil sets for a good while.

I've tried several cements and quite honestly can not tell much 
different in Q using the Heath Q meter. I think for amateur radio 
purposes just about any evaporate cement, model airplane hobby glue will 
suffice.  I don't think there are many of us that could measure the 
"loss" of receiver performance after a loss in Q of 10 etc., But I would 
never cover the whole coil just tack down the turns 3 or four places as 
you go around the form. You might want to change it slightly later.  
When using the  larger coil form that have "ribs" I usually just leave 
the windings alone and not glue them, the ribs work well.
Besides its fun to experiment with the windings.
Speaking of coils, leave room in the top of your receiver for the longer 
160 meter coils. :-)

hmmmm - I was always told that 160m coils were "nonexistentium" - got specs?

When I remanufactured my 80m coils, I sprayed them with clear lacquer as 
well - two benefits were that not only did it cover the windings, but it 
also slightly melted the plastic of the form it'self, so that the wire 
"nestled" into the plastic and was even MORE secure, once dried.  Duco 
cement was great in 1964, but it's junk now.

I have never seen it written anywhere and most of us are smart enough do  
not do something stupid.  But it is a very good idea to be sure the B plus  
is in standby when you change the mixer coil.  The mixer coil has B plus  
going to the RF tube and you might get a nice tingle if the B plus isn't  off.

Or you could just short it out through your other hand by grabbing the 
chassis with said other hand - *once*.

It is encouraging to see the sustained interest in these great receivers.

I would like to build another HBR 12, for this I would like a National ACN
or similar type dial. I also need some of the tubes.

I have an extra set of BC 453 IF transformers (bfo trans incl)  and 4 NOS
7360 tube, as well as other items excess to my needs.

I would rather swap than sell. If there is any interest please email me
direct.

Happy New Year!
