[AMRadio] NC-183D Alignment questions help
I have a pristine NC-183D I picked up a year ago that I am finally getting around to. Have replaced all the electrolytics and sound really good. BUT...I cannot get it to track properly as I follow the alignment instructions in the manual. I can set the top frequency on each band with a small trimmer cap (this is the oscillator coil adjustment) but then according to the instruction manual you adjust the low end of the dial by moving a wire inside an inductor, which does move the lower frequency but not nearly enough to get to the frequency they say you should see. Has anyone else had that problem during alignment of this receiver, or am I missing something. Have checked the voltages at the first and second converter and they seem fine and have pulled off the mica cap across one of the oscillator coils (1.8 to 5 Mhz) and it checked just fine (supposed to be 1600 pf and reads 1615 pf). And have substituted a different 6BE6 in the first converter and still can't get close to proper or accurate dial tracking. I am 500+ Khz off no matter what I have tried. And thoughts on this one! Thanks. Van, K7VS PS I would like to hear from NC-183D owners that may have experienced this problem or have some thoughts about what I am seeing. tnx __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.

The one in the Valiant is larger (taller). I think Peter Dahl also has some good plate chokes that would work too, unless you want to get an original. 73 - Brian wa5am -- "Money is only temporary, radios are forever" - Jim Little aka "the old dawg"/K5BAI __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.

Sounds like a National R-175A. I'm certain one of our list memebers will have one. If no one offers one, let me know; I have a box full.

Well, someday you will, Brian. I'd love to have you come up and be the Guest of Honor, and hang around with all of us guys including Gary, Mike, Joe and the rest.

[AMRadio] Johnson Valiant RF Plate Choke
In my continued effort to restore my 1957 Johnson Valiant transmitter, I need to replace the large pie-wound RF Plate Choke (L11) that connects via the silver-plated top strap to the plate caps of the three 6146 final tubes. If anyone has a good one to sell, please let me know what the "shipped price via priority mail" to zipcode 80817 would be and if you will accept payment via paypal.
