But I'm sure that behaviour isn't normal. And might account for what happened to the original meter. It sounds like there is some other problem. Maybe the 5933 clamper.

This is a 5933 or 807W. (Note the sleeve around the socket which will not allow replacement with a regular 807.) Also check the relay timing. The antenna relay release is supposed to be delayed on key-up to keep the antenna load on the PA until the plate voltage has had time to decay. Circuits for controlling this are on the modulator chassis, see the manual. Dennis D.

Russ. > Others have commented on things that would cause the meter pegging. This response is to talk about protection for panel meters in old tube gear, which includes S-meters on receivers. Many (most?) are 200 microamp 900 ohm movements. I always put a pair of 1N400x diodes back-to-back across the terminals. It takes about 400 mv across one of those before it begins to conduct, and while thats about 2X full scale deflection, they limit current through the meter coil to a value that the meter will tolerate fairly well. With those in place, a fault condition is much less likely to damage a meter movement. If you need to measure the meter coil resistance, don"t use a VOM ohmmeter. Most (like the Simpson 260) will put too much current through the meter. Instead, use a series resistor and a 1.5 volt battery. The meter indication is proportional to the current through it, and the voltage across the resistor will allow you to do an ohm's law calculation of the meter resistance. With a sticky movement, I generally remove the movement from its case, and do a little checking using a toothpick to move the coil and pointer. Generally, if you loosen the front pivot a little, work the movement up and down a few times, and readust the pivot to "just loose," the meter movement will operate freely. Check with series resistance and a 1.5 volt battery to electrically deflect the moving coil and pointer. Use series resistances that will give partial deflections around the observed stiky point. It takes a bit of watchmaker skills and tools to do this but with a bit of care, you can generally restore proper function.

You'll hear a Sproing from the poor mA meter. But I'll mention that you can use the 260 (or many other analog multimeters) as the 1.5 volt battery. Put it on the Rx1 range and ignore its meter. Add the resistor part of an RC substitution box and start with it on a high value. I have two 260's hanging on the bulkhead behind the workbench so it's much more convenient to use one of them than getting up to get a D-cell from the reefer and find a battery holder. The 260 also has a reversing switch on it that reverses the ohmmeter polarity. In case you either don't know or mistake which mA meter post is positive. And the 260 is one of only two meters I ever encountered (the other came from RadShack maybe 50 years ago and was a pretty obvious copy) where the positive lead for voltage and current readings remains the postive lead for resistance readings.

It was a local surplus house in Carrolton, Texas, called "Tanners." We call it the "candy store." Lots of good stuff but, alas, none of these remain in stock. You find them often on Ebay. Check with any local surplus houses you know, because these kind of DC/DC converters are becoming pretty common. You can get them for all kinds of voltages out. If you look at some, be sure they have an isolated output (i.e the input and output negatives are not common). All of them I've seen in surplus are isolated, but some are not. One caution: Many of these can source better than an amp. It's easy to look at these little bricks and think of safe, cute 12-volt plastic radios, and get careless. When you start stacking them, they ain't "play-prettys" no more. An amp at 300 volts will kill you mos'-very-buncha dead. Be careful. 73 Dave S. p.s. I don't know if the case insulation will stand really high voltages, since they were designed to never be more than 30 volts above ground. I don't allow the cases to contact ground. Haven't had a problem so far at the 90-volt level, but I've stacked them to 300 and I think that might be a bit "dicey." I'm going to stick with 90 to 120 volts and be happy. ------------------------------ Message-Id: <06151323-0039-4269-A631-90365D31C5B8@earthlink.net> From: Roy Morgan To: Old Tube Radios Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v936) Subject: Wullenweber Coupler CU-1280/FRD-10A(V) Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 02:50:51 -0500 Anchorites, There have been requests before for information about the receiving antenna coupler used in the "Elephant Cage" Wullenweber direction finding system: CU-1280/FRD-10A(V) If there are any manuals out there, I'd appreciate hearing about them.
