Re: [Boatanchors] Anyone know a source for Heathkit SB series zero set pulley, shaft, and knob ?

There are several companies that have replacement parts for the Heath equipment.  Here is an example: https://shop.heathkit.com/shop/category/services-replacement-parts-38 Glen, K9STH  Website: https://k9sth.net On Wednesday, February 19, 2020, 12:19:16 PM CST, Mike Langner wrote:

[Boatanchors] Vacuum tubes for sale

I needed certain vacuum tubes to replenish my tube stock and there just happened to be an auction with many lots of tubes.  After all was said and done, with combining of lots, etc., instead of a couple hundred tubes I ended up with well over 2000-tubes!  There is just no way that I will ever

B definitely made a model L-1000-A linear amplifier and it did have a pair of 813 tubes. http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/b/l1000a/ They also had the L-1001-A linear amplifier that used a pair of 813 tubes and was rated at 250-watts more output than the L-1000-A.  That amplifier was sold less

Definitely remove the 5.0 VAC filament connections to the tube rectifiers and then solid-state the rectifiers.  The Hallicrafters HT-32- series, the Hallicrafters HT-37, and the Collins 32V- series all have problems with the rectifier filament windings shorting out in the transformer.  Going

Re: [Boatanchors] SB101 squeal

Glad that I could help! There is a similar capacitor in the Collins 75S- series receivers that, when it goes bad, the squeal starts at under 25% of the volume control advance.  I have replaced a number of those capacitors over the years.  Glen, K9STH  Website: http://k9sth.net From: RAY

Re: [Boatanchors] Squeal

Such is usually a sign of a bad electrolytic in the audio output stage.  Replace C-304 (20 mfd) with a 22 mfd capacitor.  That capacitor is from Pin-3 of V-14B (6GW8) to ground.  Glen, K9STH  Website: http://k9sth.net From: RAY FRIESS To: boatanchors ; "boatanchors@puck.nether.net"
