[Snowball] Rollin' once more

[Laura and Jim]

This is a great little gig we have here!

I have debugged one of my B-A's using tube socket extenders/adapters that arrived in my version of the Snowball. These have test pads for each pin so you can directly measure voltage and resistance w/o rolling the rig on its side and keeps stray fingers away from HV!

Now I'm working on a Hammarlund HQ-129-X that makes crackling noises only in BFO mode. Injection is low and the tube is OK. I suspect bypass caps, but it was already re-capped by the prior owner and looks OK under there. Hoping I don't have to pull the BFO can as it's a PITA - lots of wiring criss-crossing right there..........Murphy at work again............
