Bob,

There was a fella on here that had several made and was selling them. I think I have an old back cover. If you don't get any responses let me know. You can have my old one.

Probably a long shot but I was wondering if anybody here might have a back panel for a P-2000 power supply that they would be willing to part with??

Good morning Dwight,
My last message to you concerning my trip to the observatory was dated April 23. I didn’t receive any contact information from you and have returned after nearly a week. I’ll call you later to discuss this.

Thanks,

Replacement Coiled Cord for Shure 404C Microphone
First I want to thank everyone for their suggestions and guidance regarding my question about lubricating the VFO assembly of a SR-150.? I appreciate the good information.
I purchased a new old stock Shure 404C microphone to use with the SR-150.? Unfortunately the rubber coiled cord is in poor shape and wondered if there might be a suggestion for a source of a replacement coiled cord.? The cord has a shield conductor and one other conductor for PTT.
Thank you!? Steve N7AQ

Re: Hallicrafters S40-B Restoration Advice
Hi Richard,
?
I restored a S-40B a couple of years ago.? The advice provided already is of course very sound.? A tactic I like to do is replace the bulk power supply caps first and then fire up the radio and see how it plays.? It sounds like you've done a power up and it's generally working.?
?
Another thing to note is regarding the RF alignment.? There are holes in the bottom of the cabinet to facilitate tuning, and this must be done with the chassis installed in the cabinet. It's quite tricky because you can't really see well.? I was able to shine a flashlight in adjacent holes and I was still barely able to see what I was doing.? Maybe you won't have to mess with the RF tuning at all.? If you do, it would be helpful to get the lay of the land first with the cabinet off and maybe even do some rough tuning if necessary.? The coils all have beeswax seals.? If you are going to adjust them, it would be helpful to find the slots before the cabinet goes on, do the tuning, then remove the cabinet and re-melt the wax with a heat gun.
?
It's a good radio and the internal speaker sounds quite nice.
?

Re: Hallicrafters S40-B Restoration Advice
I wonder if two glass plates would do the same .... ?? I flattened
out a warped CD one time this way.....heated some tap water slightly
(to about 110 degrees) soaked the CD for a few minutes, and pressed
between two pieces of flat glass.??
Tom Latimer
Water probably not good for the dial discs

For folks that have ran into warped dial discs I found a
solution, for mine anyway.? I had a Heathkit VF-1 with a very
warped disc.? I took it out and applying heat to it and then
placing between a couple 1/2" aluminum plates.? After several
"lather, rinse, repeat, cycles, I had a flat disc!? This is very
important when the tuning knob acts against the disc...

On a positive note, I replaced the AF amps in my Drake

connected to the AF amp’s ground lead, I wiped across the
chassis in search of the lowest hum/buzz level.? I found several
points that met this criteria.? Once found, a hole was drilled
in the chassis and a solder lug added for the ground connection.
?At these points, AC heater ground current is minimal, sometimes
cancelling altogether.?
Thanks Paul.? That screw driver wipe technique is something I will
need to remember.? I also do a fair amount of old stereo
restoration and your technique will sure come in useful.

Re: High impedance rivets
Jim - I re=capped a Zenith Transoceanic model 8G005 from the 1940s.? There were a couple paper caps I could not get to without disassembling a bunch of stuff and figured the risk was not worth it.? This was compounded by the wiring insulation was brittle and would crack and fall apart if moved!? That one has a whole bunch of new silicone insulated wire in it!
?
Your observation about the rivets makes me wonder if that might have been the cause of some of my problems in the past...
