Atwater Kent 82, restoration.
#47

Rod

Yes, it is. However in the alignment procedure for H-2 chassis (exists in the same volume) they recommend triming 2nd IF and the 2nd Detector trimmers, and NOT touching 1st IF trimmer unless the oscillation is unstable. In my case there is only one IF trimmer so, if it be considered 1st IF, then only 2nd Detector could be touched.

This said, my local station is RIGHT on the money, 1160 kC on the dial.
And the IF frequency gets through only when set at 130kHz.

Which tells me that the alignment is still not too far off (which was the case with my 808A).

I also found out I need to re-solder the speaker plug (I do not see ourtight shorts but something happens when I wiggle it) so I need to do it before I proceed with touching the trimmers and padders.

However, I'd really like to have some alignment write-up for 82 chassis. It would make it so much easier. I do not like to use my brain unless reeeeally necessary.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
