[R-390] Phantoms of the Radios

Thu, 15 May 2003 21:06:34 -0700

You don't have to be a spider to get POOFed on a UTAH 1937 transmitter
(2x6L6 in parallel).  There are meters on the front panel connected to phone
plugs, with four phone jacks to select from.  Problem is the 700++ volts B+
for the transmitter (on all the time) is nicely wired to at least one of the
jacks.  On the front panel!

Just try putting your hand on THAT radio.

Set is in a million pieces at the moment, undergoing derust/restoration.

NO spiders of ANY kind are EVER to be allowed into a
T-368!!

If one should happen to take a stroll acrossed the
tank coil,........ POOF,..... there goes the plate
meter.
