Re: [AMRadio] BC-610 Modulation Transformer
It is open-frame. I need the pin outs(wiring diagram to pins, etc.). I ordered a manual from the surplus place in Lima, OH. Hopefully I will have QRO on 160 by this fall.

The reason I ask is because the open frame style like in the 610 E has a definite tendency to talk back where as the potted transformers are less likely to do so.

RE: [AMRadio] BC-610 Modulation Transformer
I think the XFMR has four connectors on one end and two on the other end. The bottom two of the four are to be strapped and make the B+ connection for the modulator. The top two, of the four, are the modulator plate connectors. The two on the other end are the secondary winding to go to the final plate circuit. This is from memory and pictures, so don't take it for 100% accuracy.

Re: [AMRadio] OP says: WHJY RUN AM?
I'd add that many folks who truly enjoy the concept of 'radio' communications as opposed to internet or phoneline tend to relate more to a hands-on approach of operation, as well as the warm, more natural sound of amplitude modulation. Old tube gear gives a user the chance to enjoy both, along with the nostalgia involved with glowing tubes, analog tuning readout, and good-to-excellent audio output compared to newer rigs. Not only that, tube gear is much more durable and easy to understand from an electronics standpoint. New Yaecomwood wonderboxes are basically pushbutton, plug-n-play 'appliances' in the sense of using or understanding them. That isn't meant in a demeaning way, simply as a comparison to the older gear that requires tuning and other adjustment for us. The older gear not only allows more interaction, it's a very educational experience over time as you test tubes, replace components, and so on. You can still get pretty much any component you need for the old stuff, how many newer rigs can you say that about? Having recently returned to the airwaves, let me say that there's nothing like it. I actually had a moth flying around the viewing window of my transmitter last night, attracted by the glow of the 4-250As inside. Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.

Re: [AMRadio] OP says: WHJY RUN AM?
AM operators each have a set of reasons why operate AM. They all have reasons
or they wouldn't do it.
For me, I think the primary reason is INVOLVEMENT. I can be involved with
these old rigs - restoring them, getting them going, lashing them together to
make a station, making contacts on gear that I brought back to life. And fixing
them when they break. A whole different experience than buying a transceiver,
plugging it in and talking on it til it breaks, then sending it away to be
fixed.
Besides that, this old gear is just plain neat. They have personality. Nothing
like sitting in front of a 75A-4 and a Viking ll, or an HRO and a Ranger, or a
lot of other combinations of rigs from 30's, 40's, and 50's.
Yeah, this old stuff won't do all the things that the new stuff will, but last
winter on a cold clear night, I worked 10 countries on 160 meter CW with a
Viking ll and HRO-5. Somehow I got more fun out of that than working a hundred
with a new transceiver and a KW.
To each his own. Some guys like old cars, some old airplanes, some old cameras.
And some old gear and AM.

Not many here in Australia but I keep advertising... Even considered building
but these days parts for am stuff isnt common any more used to pick up
mod
tranies any where... now they just look at you funny! Oh well Want to
ask you if there is anywhere in the states
that
is worth looking at for the old am stuff. Would really like a Johnson

Saturday night into Sunday I had an excellent hourlong
QSO with Dave, W9AD. We started out on 7290, and there
was a SSB QSO that fired up just a little lower,
probably thinking we were just another international
broadcast station.
But the unusual part was that 7295 was clear of BC
signals from 9:30-11PM, clearing a place to set up and
have a good chat. And we did.
Reception quality was so good that we took time to
record airchecks of one another to replay. Dave, near
Chicago, was getting more QRN than myself, but not so
much that it ruined
