Re: SX-110 2nd IF Circuit Design
I have not looked at the CSR 5 handbook but suspect you have the order of the RF reversed.?The other tubes , like the 1853, are really not like the 6SG7.? They were designed for wide band television

Re: SX-110 2nd IF Circuit Design
The AR 88 was designed to be a very advanced performance general purpose receiver.? They were never sold commercially?The tubed were the most advanced available at the time . They are very

Re: PS-150 PS voltages
I should also add (after my HT45 Loudenboomer power supply experience) that if you do not have a load on a choke input power supply, the voltage can measure pretty high. -- 73/Rick WA6III

Re: PS-150 PS voltages
Howdy, You might consider putting a variac on it and loading both the high and low voltage B+ to see where they are.? I have found that modern line voltages do increase the output voltages a bit. --
Re: SX-110 2nd IF Circuit Design
RICHARD , GOOD SLEUTHING!; looks like you found the 6SG6 used very early; and to find 5 of them in one radio. I wonder if they were developed by RCA, well they must have been. The original question

Re: SX-110 2nd IF Circuit Design
About the 6SG7¡­ Another receiver from the same Era than the RCA AR 88 is the Canadian Marconi Co. CSR-5A. 1st RF: 6SK7, 2nd RF: 6SG7, 1st IF: 6SG7, 2nd IF: 6SK7. The CSR-5A is also the first

PS-150 PS voltages
This PS150 has been around for 20 years on my shelf and is now recapped.? Checking output voltages at 120VAC gives the following: B+? 690v LV 400v These seem high though I know they will drop under

I've had my fun resurrecting this fairly rare SR-75 transceiver but it is now time to let it go. It's in excellent working condition, had all the caps replaced, resistors checked, aligned, and new
Re: SX-110 2nd IF Circuit Design
The 6SG7 dates from at least as early as 1940.? It is used as both RF and IF stages in the RCA AR 88I don't know what other receivers of that Era it is found in.? It's also found as? the RF? stage

Re: SX-110 2nd IF Circuit Design
Hi again steve Interesting stuff.. hope you unravel the design differences for us. I don¡¯t recall the 6SG7 as a kid; but my very hazy memory thinks it was a later octal. the tung-Sol sheets I just

Re: SX-110 2nd IF Circuit Design

Re: SX-110 2nd IF Circuit Design
Thanks, Don. I¡¯m admittedly a bit fussy about a couple of things ¨C one is that I try to restore as true to the original as possible. This can be particularly challenging when a radio has been ¨C

Re: SX-110 2nd IF Circuit Design
Richard , and gang I believe Steve was talking about the tubes in the original design, and not discussing swapping tubes, but your notes about swapping seem valid, but are likely are only some of the

Re: SX-110 2nd IF Circuit Design
Steve I agree with your comments, which I believe, apply to various big old consoles as well as communications receivers. Your original comment ¡°6SK7 was used for the 2nd IF, while a 6SG7 is used

Re: SX-110 2nd IF Circuit Design
Don, Very interesting! Well, as we all know a lot of this old equipment was designed for a specific price point and target audience. There were receivers with weak front ends that had awesome audio

Re: SX-110 2nd IF Circuit Design
It isn't the gain but the Internal noise.? ?One can have too much gain.? The internal noise of a tube is roughly proportional to its Gm.? A 6SG7 has about four times the Gm of a 6SK7.? One
