| Well... got the new final tubes, and while I was waiting on the them to show up, i dug deeper into the tr-3. found the three cathode resistors were split open... they must have been somewhat there as the tubes were drawing current,. WIth my finger tip, I was able to simple pop them apart.... waiting on new carbon film resistors to show up from mouser. in the meantime, i still have trouble with the s-meter..... If I turn the rf gain down, the meter does not go up scale... swapping out some tubes, I can get the meter to swing upwards, but it's pegs... calibrator pushes the s-meter off scale on onto the peg as well.. any thoughts??? mike Mike Bryce, WB8VGE the heathkit shop SunLight energy systems J e e p o|||||||o |
