Hello,
I'm in need of a schematic and any other information I can get on a Chisholm Industries Limited Model PAC. It's a small AM transmitter and receiver in a metal cabinet. It was used by the Forest Service in Canada in the late 30's I think. Single frequency transmitter in the 75-80 meter range with a matching receiver that tunes from 3.5 to about 4.1 Mc.
Thanks,
Jim

Am assembling some gear for the 5763/813 project that I believe Ian Wilson
built and wrote a lot about on this list last year. I have a lot of the
parts. But one thing I don't have is a jack bar into which I could plug the
80 meter BC-610 RF coil that I have. So I thought I'd ask if anyone has
such a fixture that they'd be willing to sell?
Many thanks,
-Tom KE4RHH

Hello Everyone,
The transistor is 60 years old today! Below is an
article from Forbes magazine that describes the early
development of the transistor. If you are interested
in seeing what early transistors looked like, check
out the following website. It has a lot of excellent
photos of early experimental and production
transistors.
http://users.arczip.com/rmcgarra2/index.html
Fortunately, transistors have been more useful than
were forecast in the Oct 1948 issue of QST, which
stated "It doesn't appear that there will be much
use made of Transistors in amateur work, unless it is
in portable and/or compact audio amplifiers. The noise
figure is said to be poor, compared to that obtainable
with vacuum tubes, and this fact may limit the
usefulness in some amateur applications. These clever
little devices are well worth keeping an eye on."

I'm pretty sure this has been addressed before, but:
What is the red stuff that various manufacturers use to secure
threads? Collins, TMC, and various other manufacturers routinely
locked slugs, trimmers, and other adjustements, as well as locking
mechanical hardware with this stuff, whatever it is...
Is this "glyptol"? Can one still obtain the magic red gunk, or
is there a modern subsitute? Maybe one of the Loctite products?
Thanks!!

John,
If you are talking about the material applied to screw heads after
installation, it was called glyptal I think, although I'm not 100% certain about the
spelling. Bill Gates doesn't know how to spell it, either :-). It also came in
green and black. I'm pretty sure that GC (General Cement, now GC Electronics)
once made it but I didn't find it in their catalog pages in the current
Allied catalog.
I use red fingernail polish. Although you might be surprised at how
difficult it is to find "plain" red. I have also found black but only around
Halloween. And I guess no one ever wants green fingernails. Never found anything
close to actuall green. However, the fingernail polish seems to work OK. I use
it for example when I service dynamotor bearings (to secure the bearing cap
screws).
Loctite makes mostly materials that are applied before assembly (well they do
have some that are supposed to be "wicking"). Normally (properly applied and
cleaned up), it isn't visible after assembly. If you were to paint a screw
head with any of it, it would never harden. The one thing you for sure don't
want to do is to use red Loctite (AKA Stud Lock) on anything in a radio.
Unless you want to make sure it can never be taken apart again. However, the lower
shear strength materials would work as well or possibly better than glyptal.
Just wouldn't look original.

IIRC, Glyptal only came in red and is used as a high voltage insulator.
See http://www.caswellplating.com/aids/glyptal.html
The multicolored stuff is Loctite. The colors indicate different degrees
of holding power. See

I have a 30-year old can of GE Glyptal that is more or less colorless. I
used it to glue KBr salt plates to 10-cm gas IR cells. The cured material
dissolves in benzene or toluene.

Hi Jerry,
We have just had the same mis-information plastered
over one of the local amateur-radio-related sites in Australia.
The first transistor was invented by Julius Lilienfeld in
about 1925. It was a form of MOSFET.
Why anyone should want to remember Shockley is a
mystery. The main work in developing the point-contact
BJT was by Bardeen and Brattain, who in fact made the
patent application.

Yuck!
Locite is the registered name of the products the company has made for many
years that many folks think of in generic terms as "lock tight." There are
several grades from permanent locking (the hardware breaks before you can
free it) to releasable grade where with careful application of torque the
hardware will come free. Loctite 2xx series thead lockers are the
traditional products used by industry. For a list of Loctite threadlockers
see:
>>http://www.henkelna.com/cps/rde/xchg/henkel_us/hs.xsl/6125_USE_HTML.htm<<
"Glyptol" is a rubric for a number of products that are apparently derived
from similar formulations, some air dried, some baked to cure. Vacuum
equipment sealing, engine block sealing, hardware fixative, motor winding
fixative, clear or red electrical insulating varnish, and whatever else it's
good for. GC Electronics markets red (the red comes from the iron oxide
which enhances insulating and mechanical properties) insulating varnish in
small bottles, the stuff many refer to as "red glyptol."
Over time red glyptol of the type electronikers are familiar with cures to a
hardness that makes it difficult to remove either by mechanical means or by
disolving. Acetone slowly softens most occurances of red glyptol but don't
bet on it being easy to remove on ancient equipment.
Someone mentioned finger nail polish as a thread locker. It works
reasonably well for protecting hardware from vibration loosening as long is
rotational forces are nil and is easily disolved with acetone. Its weakness
is its susceptability to being disolved by lubricants.
Cyano-acrylate "super" glues make good thread lockers but are difficult to
quickly remove. Soaking in acetone slowly softens super glues. Other
materials that are attacked by solvents makes super glue use advisable.
Disclaimer: I don't know or owe Loctite nor do they me.

In green, it was most commonly used as a solder joint QC indicator (that the
joint had been inspected). In black, it was used on external screw heads,
expecially when the equipment was black and the screws were black oxide finished.
A.R.C and WECo used it externally on the DM-32-A, DM-33-A and their ATA/ARA
and AN/ARC-5 equivalents.

The main reason I use the red on screw heads instead of Loctite on the
threads is that it maintains the original appearance. If that's important to the
buyer, he's happy. And if it isn't, it doesn't hurt anything.

If you're looking for Boatanchor-sized rubber replacement feet for your BA,
All Electronics has some nice ones...1.4" diameter rubber, with brass

Two thumbs up (All always has some interesting goodies to make up a full

I don't either. When I got my license there was NO sand-state stuff on the
test.
I do remember when the FET came out (MPF-102 ?) I said to myself "alright, a
HIGH-IMPEDANCE device I can relate to !"

Randy, licensee of newly authorized coast station WFT in Florida, has written to say he has obtained a MF transmitter for his station.
Rene Steigler of WLO has provided an ITT/Mackay Main Transmitter Type 2012C Mod 2, along with an Antenna Transfer Switch Type MR-761-19 Mod 2, an Auto Alarm 5003C Mod 2A, and Jack Panel MR 411-3A. All this was supplied free of cost to Randy, which is just the kind of generous gesture that's typical of Rene.
Photos of the equipment may be seen at:

I'm sure we all wish Randy the very best of luck in getting his station on the air.

Interesting to note that the 60th anniversary of the
historic work by Bardeen and Brattain coincides with the
50th anniversary of the pioneering work at Fairchild that
allowed the practical production of planar transistors which
in turn
opened the door to reliable mass produced integrated
circuits:

The transistor is 60 years old today! If you are
interested in seeing what early transistors looked
like, check out the following website. It has a lot of
excellent photos of early experimental and production
transistors.
http://users.arczip.com/rmcgarra2/index.html
Fortunately, transistors have been more useful than
were forecast in the Oct 1948 issue of QST, which
stated "It doesn't appear that there will be much
use made of Transistors in amateur work, unless it is
in portable and/or compact audio amplifiers. The noise
figure is said to be poor, compared to that obtainable
with vacuum tubes, and this fact may limit the
usefulness in some amateur applications. These clever
little devices are well worth keeping an eye on."

Yes, great stuff these thread sealers/ lockers, until you have to take the stuff apart!
If it is a small thead, a soldering iron should do nicely to degrade the stuff.
On larger bolts, a burnzo-matic torch might be necessary! Not fun... been there-Russ.

Don,
Congrats on getting that NC-57. If you got a copy of the Electric Radio =

adjustments. You should have a pretty good roadmap on how to work on =
your receiver.
As to the bandspread tuning, I just looked at my NC-57 up in the attic. =
The pulley is not simply frozen to the bandspread tuning shaft. Rather, =
it is driven from the shaft through a vernier, turns-reduction drive of =
some sort. I couldn't see by looking at my radio just how that coupling =
is achieved. I suggest that you remove the cord and then carefully =
disassemble the shaft and pully drive mechanism, and hopefully it will =
become clear just how it is supposed to work. =20
I'm also going to forward this note to the Boatanchors Reflector. There =
are a lot of knowledgeable radio restorers who hang out there, and =
perhaps one of them will have had some experience with this particular =
drive mechanism and will be able to offer some advice. Anchorites, =

Hi Jim,
Inspired by the talk you gave at this year's Duke City Hamfest, I =
scored
an NC-57 that needs some attention from ebay a couple weeks ago. It's =

of
articles from "Electric Radio" in 2001. I'm going to do that with a
friend of mine (Renee Brown, KE5OHQ), so we can both learn.
There is one mechanical issue, however, that I would like to get your
opinion on before I go any further. The bandspread tuning shaft turns
without engaging the cord pulley. The cord and pulley are intact, and =
if
I turn the pulley by hand it turns the tuning cap. Also, when I turn =
the

pulley without engaging it. It looks like there could be any number =

problem.

Folks,
There was a discussion on the Collins list, I think, some time ago. It
turns out that:
"Glyptal" was the registered trade mark of the General Electric Corporation
for their product by that name, and apparently the name of the G.E.
division that made it and many other products. The Glyptal product is still
made by:
Glyptal, Inc.
http://www.glyptal.com/
Upon that web site it says:
"When Thomas Edison founded General Electric, he insisted the company have
the highest capability in fundamental material research. For over sixty
years, Glyptal served as the liquids research division of G.E. The company
would look to Glyptal to formulate and manufacture its specialty needs when
no existing product satisfied the requirements. We always got the tough ones.
Since Glyptal was spun off in 1985, our technology and manufacturing
capability has become widely available outside G.E. ... "
At another spot in the site:
"Glyptal manufactures the best-selling electrical insulating coating in the
world."
Like Loctite, their products come in a variety of forms for a variety of
purposes. One is for electrical insulating under severe conditions, one is
for the interiors of racing engine blocks.
Cruise their website for more information.

For those who need their eyeglass prescriptions updated note the different
spellings of "glyptol" and "glyptal." I'm just guessing but I'm betting GE
changed the spelling in order to get their product the registered trademark
of "Glyptal." Typical of GE's competitive motives. No doubt Glyptal's red
glyptol is the real stuff though.
Makes me wonder how the word was derived. How does glyptography inspire
glyptol, for example?

Google coughed up a posting on the rec.antiques.radio+phono newsgroup by Dr.
Barry Ornitz (oh, red lead, not iron oxide, ....shame on me...). Derivation
of name solved also:
"Glyptal is merely a trade name for an alkyd varnish. The name comes from
GLYcerin and PhThALic acid which were combined in a condensation
polymerization to produce the raw resin. Its voltage rating is no higher
than regular alkyd varnish. The red color is often obtained by adding red
lead.
"The tropical coating is known as MPF, moisture and fungus proofing. It was
originally an alkyd varnish to which had been added copper naphthnate as an
anti-fungus agent.
Today if you want to recreate this look, especially with military
equipment, use urethane varnish to which has been added some yellow and
green dye.
"Glyptal and MFP would not have prevented the crumbing insulation seen in
antiques.

Two suggestions from California:

and

I like the mode approach suggested. Split the CX into a
phone weekend and a CW weekend. Then put the CW weekend
during a major phone contests like the ARRL Sweepstakes

This would be a good suggest,

AFAIK, it doesn't. Someone has cooked-up at leasts three

leap-year to add another.....

and the CX is a contest too. :-)
The phone SS and the CW SS attract so many people that even
if there is another contest not many would be in anything in
an opposing mode.
I think those are good dates.
I haven't seen any other suggestions that look reasonable.

Well, I hear, from a usually reliable source, that Glyptol,
Glyptography and any other derivatives *actually* originated long
ago, with the Eglyptians. Hope this helps.

Hallicrafters S-40 Receiver.........$75 plus shipping
This radio plays on all bands and sounds good. I have checked all of the
tubes on one of my Hickok tube testers and they are all very good.
Switches and controls have been De-Ox’ed. The BFO works and all
functions work. It has all of the correct knobs, no extra holes and
appears to be all original. It does have the usual wear, scuffs and
scratches you might find on a 60 year old radio. The bandspread dial
cord has come off and needs to be restrung. This radio would be a good
restoration candidate. Includes a photocopy of the Sam's manual.

Hallicrafters HT-18 Project.........$65 plus shipping
This unit is missing a few tubes and has the incorrect knobs.
Cosmetically the unit is not bad. The shaft on the deviation control has
been cut off. This is a single pole wafer switch so it should not be
hard to replace. I have verified that the power transformer is OK. I
don't think it would take to much to get this going. No further testing
was done do to the missing tubes.

I'm replacing J620 on an R-390A AF subchassis, it was missing when the unit
was acquired, and by some stroke of luck a correct Amphenol plug was in the
junk box. Things were going well until pin 11, the schematic shows the
connection ending in mid air, on connection to anything. Anyone know what
pin 11 of J620 should be connected to?

On a vanilla R390A that pin is left unconnected. It carries the raw AGC
voltage from the diode load terminal and I'm pretty sure it was used for the
squelch option which was fitted to the audio subchassis.

Seems no relation to EE-8 field phone. Maybe a morse carry-over precursor

I am going to attempt reception of Radiostation Grimeton on 17.2 Kcs
Christmas Eve Morning at 0300 EST Monday morning. Since I've spent most my
life operating equipment at oh dark thirty the early time of operation will
not be a hindrance. :-)
Mr.Steinback of Alexander has sent me a recent email confirming the times of
operation:
-----------------
"Yes, will will start the SAQ at 07.30 UTC to "warm up" the equipment. And
the transmission will be at 08.00 and 08.15 UTC.
NB. The second transmission 08.15."
Good Luck

Hello Everyone,
I have just posted a web page showcasing Canadian
Marconi radio equipment produced during the era of
vacuum tubes. My list of equipment is not complete,
however I have taken it as far as I can for now.
Hopefully it will turn into an on-line resource for
those who are interested in this aspect of Canada’s
radio history. The featured equipment in the web page
is the CSR-5 receiver family, the CM11
transmitter-receiver and the PV-500 series
transmitters, all products used extensively in the
Royal Canadian Navy during WWII and the post war
period.
Any equipment additions, identification, photos or
information would be most welcomed.

Hi David,
Yes indeed I have seen that receiver. The E-bay seller
couldn't even identify it properly. It is the SMR-3A
not a 3A receiver.

AudioExpress (a DIY audio magazine) has put out an
article on calibrating & using the Hickock 539C tube
tester. Please note that this publication & publisher
(Ed Dell, for whom I have written articles) is
definitely NOT of the "audiofool" school of

They've kindly made it available at their web site.

Audio Express has had a long interest in tube-type
equipment, including restoration of older stuff. In
fact, they used to publish "Glass Audio" magazine
(since folded into their AudioExpress magazine).
For example, there's a 4-part article on restoring an
H.H. Scott 299 stereo amplifier (circa 1960, uses the
unobtanium 7189 output tubes). I see many, many of
the same technical restoration issues that've been
illuminated in our fine list.
The entire list of recent & archived articles for
download is at:
http://www.audioxpress.com/magsdirx/ax/addenda/index.htm
Publisher Ed Dell runs a low-key, low-budget operation
but attracts some of the top people in the audio field
to write for him, e.g. Joe D'Appolito (of MTM speaker
configuration fame), D.B. Keele, R. Bullock, G.R.
Koonce, Floyd Toole, Tom Nousaine, etc. (It reminds
me a just bit of Electric Radio magazine.)
There's plenty of leading (& bleeding!) edge stuff
here. I don't detect any whiff of snake oil, either!
BTW, I have NO financial interest or connection with
AudioExpress, am a decades-long satisfied consumer.

1) Pull up to Jiffy Lube when the mileage reaches 3000 miles since the last
oil change.
2) Drink a cup of coffee.
3) 15 minutes later, write a check and leave with a properly maintained
vehicle.
Money spent: Oil Change $20.00 Coffee $1.00 Total $21.00
Oil Change instructions for Men:
1) Wait until Saturday, drive to auto parts store and buy a case of oil,
filter, kitty litter, hand cleaner and a scented tree, write a check for
$50.00.
2) Stop by 7 - 11 and buy a case of beer, write a check for $20.00, drive
home.
3) Open a beer and drink it.
4) Jack car up. Spend 30 minutes looking for jack stands.
5) Find jack stands under kid's pedal car.
6) In frustration, open another beer and drink it.
7) Place drain pan under engine.
8) Look for 9/16 box end wrench.
9) Give up and use crescent wrench.
10) Unscrew drain plug.
11) Drop drain plug in pan of hot oil: splash hot oil on you in process.
Cuss.
12) Crawl out from under car to wipe hot oil off of face and arms. Throw

13) Have another beer while watching oil drain.
14) Spend 30 minutes looking for oil filter wrench.
15) Give up; crawl under car and hammer a screwdriver through oil filter and
twist off.
16) Crawl out from under car with dripping oil filter splashing
oileverywhere from holes. Cleverly hide old
oil filter among trash in trash can to avoid environmental penalties. Drink
a beer.
17) Buddy shows up; finish case of beer with him. Decide to finish oil
change tomorrow so you can go see his new garage door opener.
18) Sunday: Skip church because "I gotta finish the oil change." Drag pan
full of old oil out from underneath car. Cleverly dump oil in hole in back
yard instead of taking it back to Kragen to recycle.
19) Throw kitty litter on oil spilled during step 18.
20) Beer? No, drank it all yesterday.

27) Drink beer.
28) Shovel out hole and sift oily mud for drain plug. Re-shovel oily dirt
into hole. Steal sand from kids sandbox to cleverly cover oily patch of
ground and avoid environmental penalties. Wash drain plug in lawnmower gas.
29) Discover that first quart of fresh oil is now on the floor. Throw kitty
litter on oil spill.
30) Drink beer.
31) Crawl under car getting kitty litter into eyes. Wipe eyes with oily rag
used to clean drain plug. Slip with stupid crescent wrench tightening drain
plug and bang knuckles on frame.
32) Bang head on floorboards in reaction to step 31.
33) Begin cussing fit.
34) Throw stupid crescent wrench.
35) Cuss for additional 10 minutes because wrench hit Miss December (1992)
in the left boob.
36) Beer.

Hello Everyone,
I recently received a photo which confirms the very
first amateur radio operation from Alert, NWT.
It happened in the summer of 1950 when the JAWS
weather station was completed. That was a full 7 years
ahead of the first amateur radio ops from Alert, the
Wireless station.
Jim, K6FKF, operated VE8ML in the summer of 1950. He
was with the US Weather Bureau and spent two years at
Alert.

What type of military gear is Jim using?
For anyone who is interested, here is an account which
details how Alert was built.

alert.Jerry,
Great story on Alert.
I have flown over Alert many times on transpolar flights from Stockholm
and Copenhagen to Anchorage. Always had a chat with them on VHF,77 to
early 79 time frame.
In the early 70's flew into Eureka with L-188 Electra's with Pacific
Western out of Edmonton AB also based in Resolute flying Electra tanker
with in cabin tanks hauling 5500 Imp gallons of fuel oil to all of the
oil drilling ice strips all over NWT using modified Grid navigation for
point to point flying and ASTRO Compass to get Sun line for backup. Very
interesting flying to say the least. Lots of zero zero landings using
NDB's as the approach aid for bearing info. for landing in ice fog
conditions. In early 72 got OMEGA for NAV system, way to go.

He has 2 BC-348's in front of him on the desk and 2 ART-13's stacked on each
other on his right.
