Good Evening All,
The house work is complete till next time. A strange bright globe in the sky
made an appearance here in the PNW. After the chores were done, it was time
for a walk and soak up a mega dose of Vitamin D. More rain and fog in the
forecast.
The Amelco: About a half hour or so was spent measuring P120. In brief; no
grounds, shorts, opens, & all wires were to spec. Pulled, twisted, yanked,
and tortured P120 and couldn't find any faults. Next up was C603 and the
TO-6A. All three sections measured around 30uF. Considering the dial and the
age of the instrument, I'll call that good. Then all three sections were
tested for leakage at rated voltage. At 300 volts, all three measured under
0.01mA of leakage. I could dig up the receipt for the replacement caps in
C603, the voltage rating might be higher but what the heck.
Tomorrow I want to look at the AGC line on the Motorola. O'beer
thirty........
Regards,
Craig
