Or the > sensitivity increases. I don't recognize what the 6K8 is. Audio first stage (diode-triode)? or Mixer? A fair number of some of these tubes have, as the cap, the connection to the control grid. If its an audio tube, then you should be introducing more 60 cycle hum than anything else. When you say "the audio becomes much louder" are you talking about the audio on the signal you are listening to or background static or hum or what. I'm not at all familiar with Hallicrafters before about S-38, S-40 vintage. Give us all some more clues, and tube listing. I've read all the other responses up to the moment of writing this posting; most are worth checking out. If the cap is the control grid of the mixer, then just maybe you are injecting--by capacitance pickup with your body (as antenna)--more broadcast RF into the circuit than is coming in normally through whatever else the input RF goes into (RF amplifier, coils, caps, whatever). In my experience, lots of times you can touch the antenna terminal of a receiver and pick up a lot of signal that would not be there if that terminal were not connected to anything. Not sure which.

It is, indeed, the common grid connection for the triode-hexode mixer, and I would agree that it could be RF pickup that's giving him the extra audio output. Definitely points the finger at the RF stages being out of alignment or otherwise faulty. > In my >experience, lots of times you can touch the antenna terminal of a receiver >and pick up a lot of signal that would not be there if that terminal were >not connected to anything. Time for a signal generator, I suspect, and to check backwards from the 6K8 to the aerial terminal.

I can't even recall how I came to have it. If you have one of these freq meters (with the cool film strip readout) missing the cover here's your chance to pick it up. It is in very clean condition; paintwork is excellent with a couple of die-size abrasions on the front. Rubber sealing gasket is excellent. The AC line cord is also there but the plug is missing. I'm asking $15.00 plus postage for it; any takers? Please reply by e-mail.

If there is an RF amplifier ahead of the converter (converter = mixer+ oscillator), then something is dead in that stage (coils, variable cap shorted/shorting, dead tube, open interstage capacitor, and other possibilities). Dead tubes can have blown filaments (if the receiver is on for a while, an open filament tube will still be cold compared to the other tubes), or internal short, or gassy tube, or weak cathode emission, lots of things. Whatever the RF stage is, if that tube is identical to the IF stages, then swap the tube (RF into IF socket) and if the whole receiver goes dead, then its that tube that is dead. Get a new tube. Preferably you should try to locate someone with a tube tester (this may not be practical in an age where everything is: i) throw away, and ii) all solid state). All the other things you need to do, need lots of checking and a schematic. If you can't get one, then you have to trace it out by hand and use a tube manual to get pinouts on the tubes. I'll keep reading from time to time; will post if I have any bright ideas. ===== no change to below, included for reference and context ===== On Wed, 26 Apr 2006, Rod wrote: > The 6K8 is the converter oscillator.
