Subject: [NJARC] Need values for BL 42 D Ballast Resistor
Message-ID: <CAFVJxz4TrDPd2s+bcs47HnKgdH-T2Dhsf6kXABv0X-7o=mBEgQ@mail.gmail.com>

I picked up a GE J62 radio at the Charlotte AWA meet in beautiful
condition. But one of the tube sockets was empty. Turns out it needs a
ballast resistor. Does anyone have a list of these and what resistors
values are? I'm looking for a BL 42 D. I checked the schematic and it shows
3 resistors but no values.

Thanks,
Phil V

Phil:
? ? Here is a useful page on deciphering ballast tubes:http://www.radioremembered.org/ballast.htm

? ? This site gives the wiring diagram: http://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_bl42d.html

? ? This site sells some universal replacements:http://www.vacuumtubesinc.com/Products/BallastTubesDelayRelays/BallastTubes.aspx#

? ? Here's an interesting question: with today's higher line voltages, should you use a ballast tube that drops more voltage as a way to compensate for the higher line voltage?

I can speak only for myself but I imagine that some on this list have had similar experiences with Radio Shack.
First off, I have bought several scanners and shortwave receivers from them over the years and I have been happy with all of them. ?They were worth what I paid and reliability was better then average, in my experience. ?I guess up to about the year 2000 or so, buying components from RS was common for me. ?But after they concentrated more and more on cellphones and the like and the component shelves dried up, I stopped going. ?By then I had discovered Mouser and have used them and eBay for all of my component needs ever since.
I don't really think that RS management was to blame, it is just the price of progress. ?When you think about it, modern electronic products are now no longer repairable. ?Pick and place surface mounted parts, not much bigger then ground pepper flakes, have made the cost to replace the end item so low that repair a thing of the past. ?Not to mention that reliability is, for the most part so high that one gets tired of the old cell phone or what have you long before it fails.
When I left the cell phone industry, the cost to manufacture a phone was around $300. ?The most costly component was the six volt battery. ?The production life cycle of the cell phone was 18 months. ?The first three or so months, the phone sold for $300, the next three or so months it was at $100 or so. ?In the last months of production, the phone was free for signing a new contract since all of the R&D and production cost had been recovered and a nice profit was made by all. ?Ah, the beauty of mass production!
15 years of so later, I imagine that the cost to make a cell phone is much lower. ?My Blackberry Z10, which I think is wonderful and intuitive to use, was free to me for a two year contract extension. ?It has an 8MB camera so I no longer have a need for the Nicon Coolpix 2000 camera and the GPS receiver in the car. ?The Z10 has more speed and memory then either of my first two or three PC's I paid a king's ransom for. ?It just blows my mind! ?And to think our favorite hobby is the collection and restoration of ancient vacuum tube radios and electronics; it is just plain crazy.
Is anyone collecting cellphones? ?I have a few early AMPS and DAMPS Ericsson and other makers of cell phones, some NIB, some engineering samples and some with only the circuit board, free for postage. ?If InfoAge is interested, I'll throw in a cellphone schematic!Jim

then again...  I did have to keep my "bag phone" from 1985 or so. I used to
drag it out occasionally to tease my kids when they started badgering me

Ah, those big phones. The other night, I was watching the movie Wall Street, which was released in 1987. The Michael Douglas character is walking on the beach talking on his cell phone. The damned thing was the size of a World War II walkie-talkie. He looked like he was about to call in artillery fire or something.

Well, it just shows that not enough of you come to the museum.
We have one of those, and a bagphone, and flip phones and some of the
later cellphones too.

And by the way Dave, here's a factoid for you. Consensus is that there are
over 6 billion (with a b) cellphones -- and each one is a radio -- in 
the world.
And did anybody say that radios (not radio) were a thing of the past.

2000-2009

When my middle school classes had extra time, I would talk about ham radio, Titanic radios, telegraph, cellphones, etc.

I would hold up a cell phone and ask how many had one - almost all did. then I would ask how many used the texting features, again almost all did.

Then I would tell them that I texted when I was their age.  I could always count on someone to say, "They didn't have cellphones when you were our age." - which opened the door about ham radio and Morse code.

Eventually I would ask, is a cell phone a telephone or a radio?  Of course they said telephone.  Then I would explain the differences by example.  I had a dial telephone with a wire on it connected to the wall, and said this is a telephone, it has a wire on it.  It was fun.

And so was it when they asked me how to dial a number on that "rotary' telephone, that there are no buttons on it.  And the lessons continued.

Now I occasionally see my old students in stores while shopping.  They always say hello to me and tell me how they loved my classes.

I'm a happy man.

73, John

Well, it just shows that not enough of you come to the museum. 
We have one of those, and a bagphone, and flip phones and some of the 
later cellphones too. 

And by the way Dave, here's a factoid for you. Consensus is that there are 
over 6 billion (with a b) cellphones -- and each one is a radio -- in the world. 
And did anybody say that radios (not radio) were a thing of the past.

No cellphone collecting?  How about a code practice oscillator museum?

For whatever reason, this answer to Phil's question never appeared in my sent folder so if you already received this post, please excuse the reposting.

Phil
Decoding the number according to the Standard RMA Designation Code:B = ballast action for the pilot lightK = 6.3 volts @ 150 mA for brown beaded lamps, i.e. #40, #47, or 184742 = Total voltage drop of the ballast, including pilot lights, with 300 mA of currentD = wiring diagram
It looks like one pilot lamp is between pins 7 & 8, a second pilot lamp is between pins 8 & 2, and the remaining 30 volts @ 300 mA is dropped between pins 2 & 1.
Taking it a step further, the "hot" resistance between pins 7 & 8 and 8 & 2 would be 42 ohms and between 2 & 1 is 100 ohms. ?I would use a standard value 43 ohm metal or carbon film or perhaps wire wound resistor at 2 to 3 watts and a 100 ohm wire wound resistor at 20 watts for substitutes, if you are so inclined. ?
Ballast substitutes are: KL-45, 23-55-1, 23-55-A, URB-004 and the JFD Type A with some modifications. ?I checked my stash of ballasts and unfortunately, I don't have what you need.
I feel that the need for a ballast tube to regulate current in a radio has long passed. ?Perhaps from the 1930's to 1950's when the line voltage varied quite a bit from the 108 to 125 volt limits, the ballast tube was useful but now that is really not the case. ?There are so many more distribution transformers (pole pigs) now in use, do to the high demand for AC power. ?The line voltage now hovers, at least in my neighborhood, within a volt or two to the old maximum line voltage of 125 vac. ?
Collins Radio says essentially the same thing in their R-390 Finial Engineering Report of September, 1953 but kept the ballast tube in the R-390 and R-390A because of the Signal Corps requirements for oscillator stability. ?The ballast tube (3TF7) did reduced the +- 15% line voltage variation specification to a 3% change in the oscillator tube heater voltages. ?But the Collins engineers felt that with the unknowns of tube ageing and all of the brouhaha of tube reliability in the early 1950's, it wasn't worth the effort to request a change in the spec.Jim

I picked up a GE J62 radio at the Charlotte AWA meet in beautiful condition. But one of the tube sockets was empty. Turns out it needs a ballast resistor. Does anyone have a list of these and what resistors values are? I'm looking for a BL 42 D. I checked the schematic and it shows 3 resistors but no values.
Thanks,Phil V

In my area, the stores in both Randolph and Parsippany are closing but it appears that the Madison store will survive.

Yesterday I walked over to the one on 1st Ave. and 20th St. in Manhattan and it was gone, gone. First one I've seen closed around here. The others in the area were running their clearance sales last time I checked, don't know if they've shut down yet.

My son was ecstatic at spotting a live Radio Shack near Cape May on
Saturday; it's the Cape May Courthouse branch on the latest list.
Unfortunately we couldn't stop as local fluke and scallops awaited us at
Junior's, so he's still looking for wires for his latest project.

Subject: [NJARC] Helpful tips with Capacitors
Message-ID: <BLU175-W315BD51B384FC7AF1B5D9EB5FC0@phx.gbl>

Hi, 
 
I have lots of newsletter subscriptions to various electronics parts places like Mouser, Digikey, etc. to watch for deals on electronics parts.  Jameco sent out a newsletter this week with helpful tips on how to read Capacitor codes.  At this point, it's probably a refresher for most of you, and the information is tailored more towards the caps you can buy today than the ones you may be replacing, but it's still useful information:
 
http://www.jameco.com/Jameco/workshop/circuitnotes/CN-capacitors.html
 
Another thing they shared which was somewhat amusing was a video of what happens when you do it wrong!  They filmed capacitors under over-voltage or with reversed polarity with "go pro" style cameras and slowed it down so you can see what happens in slow motion.  It's not clear just what they did (how much over voltage?  how much amperage? etc.?), but it's still entertaining.  Watch them do it so you don't have to experience it in person!
 
http://www.jameco.com/Jameco/content/incorrectly-using-capacitors.html%20%20?trk_msg=T60FLNDU23345A5RPV27DULBFG&trk_contact=VAQR8QNK1ID40J7HJGA8K9E29S&utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=poppingcaps&utm_campaign=NewsletterApril2015

from Jim Wartenby he is donating to the club. I will be delivering it all at this Fridays meeting in info age. I will need some help off

Hello.  
My friend has a Zenith Trans Oceanic that needs repair.  I am willing to ship or deliver it from my home in Marlton, NJ, and pay for repair.

Can you recommend someone?  

None of the filaments light up.  Power cord is connected properly.  It apparently has been repaired at least once before, judging by what looks like some newer capacitors.

Someone just posted this auction, scheduled for 4/25/15 in Philipsburg, on the ARF.
http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/photopanel.cgi?listingid=2420861&category=0&zip=&kwd=radio

Some pretty cool stuff. I?won't be able to make it but if anyone buys the Hallicrafters S-27 (the one with the wrong tuning and bandswitch knobs) or the neat little boatanchor on top of the Sylvania tube caddy (the one with no knobs), please let me know and perhaps we can work out a quick re-sale.?

Ok, now at $399.99, it's more than I care to spend.  On the other  hand, 
it's an interesting concept.

I think I saw these on Etsy about a year ago at 599. Maybe the price is coming down.

I just connect one of my cone or horn speakers or phonograph adapter to 
a matching transformer and my stereo.  (Found that a 12 volt filament 
transformer works.)
 
More fun to play the real deal though.

The US is already broadcasting in FM in a digital format, along with analog.  Called "HD Radio", on my SUV radio you can view the song titles, station's I.D. etc.  I'm sure it's just a matter of time before analog radio will go by the wayside as TV has :(

What is gained by scrapping FM modulation and going to an all digital format? ?Admittedly, it might possibly add more content beyond FM stereo and other pilot carrier formats already in place but it doesn't appear to have any better signal quality. ?So is this just a quantity versus quality issue?
When TV went digital in the US, we lost the frequencies below channel 7 and above channel 69 all of which were reallocated to other services. ?Similar savings do not appear to be in store for the FM radio band.
BTW, the "HD Radio" technology can also be used on the AM band according to Wikipedia where there is an improvement in fidelity and the addition of stereo programming using a bit more then the original AM channel bandwidth.
Getting back to the original question asked by Ed, it seems that there are no plans at this time to abandon FM in the US. ?But I guess this could change at any time. ?It is kind of sobering to realize that all of the radios I have collected over the years will go the way of spark technology if digital prevails and replaces AM and FM modulation.Jim

I thought a quick shout out for Mr. Majestic was appropriate.

I am finishing up a Majestic 1250 now with some advice from Dick on color.
My gut told me this was not a walnut radio, and Mr. Majestic confirmed it
came in a brighter oak.

Just replaced some missing veneer and I am about to apply some golden oak
stain.  Made me think of him.

He was a real nice guy and a little bit of him will live on within this
radio.

"There are no plans to abandon analog radio in the U.S., Dennis Wharton 
(an executive vice president at the NAB) said."

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-04-20/norway-to-turn-off-analog-fm-radio-in-sign-of-global-shift

(I don't put much stock in his comment. If there's money to be made, 
someone will do what it takes to make it, i.e., bribe Congress, pressure 
the FCC, etc... Look at how Comcast is getting their way)

 > I'm sure it's just a matter of time before analog radio will go by 
the wayside as TV has :(

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBiquity

"IBOC can operate on both AM band and FM band broadcasts either in a 
digital-only mode, or in a "hybrid" digital+analog mode. Most 
broadcasters for the foreseeable future WILL use the hybrid method"

Great for sound quality, bad for DXing. I can't hear a thin' besides WOR 
on 710 because their IBOC signal wipes out every other station on that 
frequency.

Product  Description
No  doubt that this little circuit board (4.5 by 4.25 inches) will make 
life quite a  bit easier for many tube fanciers.

On  this extra thick (0.094 inch), US-made PCB with 2oz-copper traces 
resides a  single high-voltage regulator, with its own raw power supply, 
including the  rectifiers and power-supply reservoir capacitors. In other words, 
except for the  power transformers, the PS-2 Solo PCB holds all that is needed 
to make a superb  tube B+ power supply. The PS-2 Solo regulator can power a 
line-stage amplifier,  headphone amplifier, or phono stage. (It might also 
work in a tube power  amplifier, if the current draw isn?t excessive.) This 
high-voltage regulator  uses a high-voltage series regulator to achieve a 
quiet and stable regulated B+  voltage, which can span from 50V to 300V, while 
delivering up to 80mA of  current.

Furthermore,  both a full-wave-center-tapped configuration and a 
full-wave-bridge rectifier  arrangement can be used with this PCB. The PS-2 Solo PCB, 
like the Janus Solo  PCB, holds only a single high voltage regulator, unlike 
the original PS-1  regulator PCB which held both high voltage and 
low-voltage regulators. Thus, the  tube heaters must find their power source 
elsewhere, such as an AC winding or a  simple DC power supply or regulator power 
supply.

The  PS-2 Solo kit comes with all the parts needed to populate the PCB, 
including the  heat sink, standoffs, and 14 voltage-setting resistors, which 
allows the  following output voltages to be set:

50V  60V 65V 75V 110V 120V 125V 130V 135V 140V 150V 160V 165V 170V 175V 
180V 185V  195V 200V 210V 215V 220V 225V 240V 250V 270V 300V

All  the resistors needed

All  the capacitors needed (Nichicon, Panasonic, RTI or Wima)

LD1085  low-dropout voltage regulator

Heatsinks  for TO220 device

Four  sets of PCB standoffs with O-rings

Four  HER108 ultrafast 1A 1000V rectifiers

IXCP  10M45S HV constant-current source

Gang,

We'll be working on sorting and organizing the NJARC tube "vault" at 
InfoAge on Saturday. With the current state of affairs, I don't need the 
Mongolian Hordes, but, rather six or eight hard workers. Originally I 
hope I could draw the crew from the Museum staff and the Executive 
Board, but it turns out to be a busy time of year. So, if your 
available, we'll gather at the Museum at 9AM, Saturday, and work until 
about 4PM, with a break for pizza.

Please let me know if you can help out.

Regards,

Al Klase, NJARC Tube Chaplain

No experience with this vendor but I did find the schematic of this power supply.
http://tubecad.com/2008/11/blog0151.htm

In reading the technical description, I fail to see the need to add resistors in series with the solid state rectifiers to "better mimic a tube rectifier". ?All I see in this is that one is taking a better silicon diode rectifier (as compared to a vacuum tube rectifier) and then adding series resistance to make the voltage regulation worse. ?That is to say that the rectified and filtered voltage will change more with load current (increase the filtered ripple voltage) and then apply this to an IC regulator to restore regulation. ?This makes no sense to me. ?
The same idea is used when replacing a selenium rectifier with a silicon diode. ?Jim ?

Product Description
No doubt that this little circuit board (4.5 by 4.25 inches) will make life quite a bit easier for many tube fanciers.

On this extra thick (0.094 inch), US-made PCB with 2oz-copper traces resides a single high-voltage regulator, with its own raw power supply, including the rectifiers and power-supply reservoir capacitors. In other words, except for the power transformers, the PS-2 Solo PCB holds all that is needed to make a superb tube B+ power supply. The PS-2 Solo regulator can power a line-stage amplifier, headphone amplifier, or phono stage. (It might also work in a tube power amplifier, if the current draw isn?t excessive.) This high-voltage regulator uses a high-voltage series regulator to achieve a quiet and stable regulated B+ voltage, which can span from 50V to 300V, while delivering up to 80mA of current.

Furthermore, both a full-wave-center-tapped configuration and a full-wave-bridge rectifier arrangement can be used with this PCB. The PS-2 Solo PCB, like the Janus Solo PCB, holds only a single high voltage regulator, unlike the original PS-1 regulator PCB which held both high voltage and low-voltage regulators. Thus, the tube heaters must find their power source elsewhere, such as an AC winding or a simple DC power supply or regulator power supply.

The PS-2 Solo kit comes with all the parts needed to populate the PCB, including the heat sink, standoffs, and 14 voltage-setting resistors, which allows the following output voltages to be set:

50V 60V 65V 75V 110V 120V 125V 130V 135V 140V 150V 160V 165V 170V 175V 180V 185V 195V 200V 210V 215V 220V 225V 240V 250V 270V 300V

All the resistors needed

All the capacitors needed (Nichicon, Panasonic, RTI or Wima)

LD1085 low-dropout voltage regulator

Heatsinks for TO220 device

Four sets of PCB standoffs with O-rings

Four HER108 ultrafast 1A 1000V rectifiers

Joe,

Smells like audio-phoolery to me.  (You know, the guys who swear by 
their silver AC line cords.)  Also, I'm immediately suspicious of 
schematics that read from right to left.  Bottom line, this is, at best, 
overkill for our kind of radios.

Jim,

With selenium that's always promoted as good practice for reasons that sound valid to me. Are you saying you think adding a resistor then makes no sense too?

Yep Dave, that is what I am saying.
The selenium rectifier is a pretty poor rectifier but it is more efficient then a vacuum tube rectifier since it has no need for heater power. ?
The reason for the series resistor in a selenium rectifier circuit is to limit the charging current demanded by the filter capacitor. ?The selenium rectifier is current limited anywhere from about 35 mA?to 450 mA depending on voltage rating and the size of the selenium stack. ?The Sarkes Tarzian Selenium Rectifier Handbook is on line as a pdf file and explains the need for the series resistor and the current ratings of the various models.
With the external series resistance and the high voltage drop in the selenium rectifier, the voltage regulation is pretty poor. ?15% to 20% voltage regulation is to be expected. ?In other words, the higher the load current pulled out of the power supply, the lower the output voltage will drop. ?Vacuum tube rectifiers have much the same voltage regulation problems as selenium but the the peak non repetitive current is a bit higher.
Silicon rectifiers do not have this problem, this is why they have replaced both tube and selenium rectifiers. ?Maximum forward silicon diode current is usually one amp and three amp silicon rectifiers are as inexpensive. ?Peak non repetitive currents are in the tens of amps range. ?There is little internal resistance in the silicon diode and the voltage drop is usually less then one volt so the voltage regulation is much much better.
If one is concerned that the average output voltage will be too high when the selenium rectifier is replaced by silicon, then use a filter choke with an appropriate current rating to reduce the voltage and improve the voltage regulation of the power supply even further. ?Ultimate regulation using an LC filter requires a bleeder resistor to load the power supply enough so that the inductor always has the minimum required current flowing through it.Jim

04/29/2015 RADIOANQ - Atwater Kent Model 20 Deluxe 

For sale is an Atwater Kent Model 20 Deluxe. This receiver is in very good cosmetic and functional order. It comes with a home made power supply and cable to power the receiver. It also comes with a enclosure housed transformer to allow the use of an 8 ohm PM speaker as well as a photocopied manual in a folder as well. I would like $135. This item is available for pickup in Albany, NY.

It's a big weekend for vintage electronics get-togethers.

It's rare that I miss an NJARC meeting, but I'll be at the Early Television
Convention in Ohio.  You can "tune in" to our live webcast of the event all
day Saturday if you like: auction 9:00 AM - 11:45; presentations
12:30-5:30.

The webcast will be available at www.earlytelevision.org
