[Heathkit] HW-16 Receiver Problems

[sbjohnston at aol.com]

Yes, because Don Peterson of Data Professionals
    http://www.d8apro.com/
has been trying to corner the market on Heathkit manual reprints, it 
has become more challenging to download the manuals.

Remaining heath documentation online that I've found:

The problems continue here, or should I say challenges.

On a recently acquired HW-16, the rcvr is very deaf. I can hear one or
two very
weak sigs on 80 & 40 (haven't tried 15). I made voltage checks on each
tube with
control settings per the schematic info and at 120vac input. I got some
odd ball
readings, especially, on V2B (6EA8)..pin 1 is 49VDC (s/b 167). On
looking at the
actual wiring, something looks funny and doesn't seem to follow the
schematic re
the band switch wiring to the coils (L4,L5,L6). Is there supposed to be
a wire
  from the common coil connections (which is fed B+ thru a 100K 
resistor)
over to
the third wafer from front? Does anyone have a blow up of the band
switch wiring
that they could scan. I rec'd the schem. and alignment info from a list
member which has been very helpful but still don't have a manual, but
I'm
looking.  



Tnx for any help...73 de Bill K4JYS
