Re: SX-28A Hum

I should clarify, Whether the bass is in or out, the ripple remains at the same amplitude. I just don¡¯t hear it with the bass ¡°in¡±

Subject: [HallicraftersRadios] SX-28A Hum

?

I just finished pretty much a complete overhaul of a nice condition (physically) SX-28A. Replaced just about every resistor and all caps.

?

Radio is working well except for a 120hz hum. When I switch the Bass in, the hum goes away.

?

Yes, there is ripple on the plates of the 6V6¡¯s, about 6vrms, but that is there independent of the bass switch position. The output side of the HV filter is clean, no ripple. I paralleled another 47uf 450v cap across the choke input cap and there was no difference.

?

I double checked the wiring against the schematic along with component values. Is the schematic correct in this area? I found once schematic error maybe there is another?

?

Thoughts?
