[Milsurplus] Video of FR-38B/U

[Jim Whartenby]

Temperature gauge looks like what you would find at WalMart in the kitchen gadgets section.  How much help do you need to put the counter on the bench?
Nice video,Jim

The gates working at the proper time and most of the bugs worked out. Still have some jumps up and down in frequency but attribute this to poor performance to many of the diodes that have not aged well in the dividers. Did replace a couple of the worst offenders in the gate trigger MMV but think an entire new set would be in order being noticed that after the counter has been on for several hours and gets real hot instability increases. Also have one bad neon bulb in one of the decade counters and will have to find a replacement for that. And if all that’s not enough found that the little temperature gauge for the crystal oven has died and short of finding another unit as a parts donor don’t expect to find one of them. Been a fun project, don’t know what’s next on the list.    Ray F/KA3EKH ______________________________________________________________
