WTB/Info SX-23 S meter
This is a long shot, but I need the S meter for the SX-23 I've restored.? It looks like maybe a fairly standard round meter could be made to work.? It's a 1mA full scale type, however I've

Re: BRAIN BELCH
That's great, Walt. I have encountered a couple of? noisy sockets in this SR-150 but have yet to get such good results. Did the voltage checks around the Driver and Finals finding that with 120VAC

Walt that obvious simple test, should be near the top of everybody's routine test list; but get some asbestos gloves first, it is one test that can bite back. I know I don't have to tell you that, DO

BRAIN BELCH
You know, sometimes a fellow needs to follow his own advice. I have been working on an SR-160. As of this morning I had put 12 hours into it. I was getting nowhere. I spent considerable time ensuring

Re: S-38B Power Consumption
Ron that scheme sounds like as is here , but the source transformer is also grounded. I asked about the switch location for the usual reason and in your case where it might see 230 volts, rather than

Re: S-38B Power Consumption
Don, Australia runs 230VAC 50 Hz but typically measures around 240VAC. The arrangement you described sounds like our wiring. The system we use is called MEN or Multiple Earth Neutral system in that

Re: Hallicrafters S-107 Very First version...Not the MK1
Digging in more on this S107. Finding more and more that have been done wrong. For some reason when it was recapped, the person used a .02 mfd electrolytic cap (C53..I think it is on the schematic)

Re: S-38B Power Consumption
Ron, Do Australia houses use a hot wire, + a grounded neutral, + a safety ground [three prong plugs] so will you use a three prong plug. an auto-transformer should be more efficient. How do you intend

Re: S-38B Power Consumption
Hi folks, Thanks for the good information on the current drain of the S-38B. My intention is/was to use a Triad Magnetics TR6-120 transformer that has a 230VAC or 115VAC input and an output of 120VAC

Re: Hallicrafters net
Thanks, guys, for all the replies. That is what I thought, just wanted to check to see if some one had started it back up. 73 and happy weekend!!!!! Walt Cates, WD0GOF https://wd0gof.com/Hallicrafters

Re: S-38B Power Consumption
Ron, Perhaps you are wanting a 240-120 nominal step-down transformer for use in Australia? And want it to be isolating Perhaps it will be located nearby the radio in open air? Or within the radio

Re: S-38B Power Consumption
Ron, I just measured my s38b and it draws 208 mA with a supply voltage of 121 VAC. I think I would use a transformer with a good safety headroom. Maybe 50 VA so it doesn't get hot. 73 Don ve3ids
