[AMRadio] Schematic Search Woes

Once again I'd like to ask for the group's help in finding a CORRECT schematic for a rig I'm trying to breath some life back into. Will gladly pay copying & postage costs. I've had no luck at all finding the "correct" schematic for my SWAN 500C (serial# I 246515). It's the one with the 3-posi

[AMRadio] Hallicrafters SR-1000

[AMRadio] Hallicrafters HT-37 Alignment Question

Now that my Hallicrafters HT-37 has undergone it's cosmetic restoration successfully, it's time to tackle the alignment. It appears that someone before me has used the proverbial "golden screwdriver" to align it before. There is practically no output on any band except 15 meters (60 watts). T

[AMRadio] Johnson Valiant I Assembly Manual - BAMA

Just an FYI that there is now an assembly/construction manual for the Valiant I available on the BAMA website. I hope it is as helpful to those of you restoring a Valiant as it was to me. Special thanks to Ken for scanning it for me and placing it on his boatanchor archive web page. Bill, ab0zz

[AMRadio] Valiant Problems

Could really use some help here from those of you who have had experience with the Johnson Valiant xmtr. Three questions... 1) Why does the 1.6 amp slo-blo low voltage transformer primary fuse blow after an hour or so of just sitting there with the filament switch on with no plate voltage appli
