I had a Stancor 202 transmitter that utilized a 35T in the final. The manual also said you could use an 811. That might help. Mike(y) W3SLK - Original Message - From: "Crawfish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 10:38 PM Subject: [AMRadio]

[AMRadio] Modern Equivalent of 35T and 203A

2005-02-02 Thread Crawfish
Does anyone know what a modern equivalent would be for a 35T or 203A tube be? I have a 400-watt output transmitter from West Coast 1939 and 1946 Handbooks that use the 35T( made by Taylor) as a buffer between a 6L6 and two HK254/100TH's, and the 203A's are push-pull modulators for same.

BTW, @.1" SP the 915 puts out 127 CFM vs. the 914 50 CFM. I checked, it doesn't blow the tubes out of their sockets (at least @ sea level). Bob

I just received 2 new in the box Dayton 2C915 230VAC blowers. They fit nicely and provide a little more air than the 2C914. The 915's have a rectangular output whereas the 914's a round, like the originals. No big deal. You remove all that mounting hardware and rubber shock absorber stuff a

Bill, We had conductive epoxies back in the 60s. It had silver powder in it. It was a mess to work with. We used it mostly on space projects. This latest thing is an epoxy doped with fine nickel particals. When the parts are assembled under pressure the resin is squezzed out and the nickle partic

I think the problem for electronis can be controlled by applying confomal coating after assembly. About 10 years I go I worked with a proces that used nickel particals in epoxy resin to replace solder. The process did work but was a real mess to work with. We tried making surface mount PCBs with t

Hi Don et al; It is real. When I was a senior technician for Motorola 2-way radios,15 years ago, we got a bulletin to this effect. One particular radio had a VCO shield cover very close to the pc board and tin whiskers would grow from the circuit board to the shield. The cure was to blow out the

So what's the deal with this "tin whiskers" crisis? Fortune magazine on January 10 carried a report (p. 27) on "Tin Whiskers". It seems that the tin in solder grows microscopic "whiskers" over time and as component placement gets ever smaller, scientists are seeing equipment failures from these

Update on static problem: Yesterday, I tried both a 6 foot wire and my Ringo Ranger 2-meter antenna (just the center pin of the PL-259), and the static is still there, but not as strong as with the hf vertical. I thought at first that I tracked it down, because I found that the dimmer switches fo
