Tube question
#13

Terry



Took T4 off the chasse and tried to unwind and count turns but it kept breaking so I cut one side through and took it off the insulating tube and I was able to separate and count the turns. I came up with 350 turns of .004" wire and I lucked out and actually a spool of #38 magnet wire which is 004" so I made two collars and hand wound the coil. It measures 27 ohms when I was done.

Now the strange part. I powered it up and got nothing but static so I tapped the cap of the 6k8 and got some pops where before it was dead. Then went to 6k7 and did the same but what I got was sound so I clipped a jumper to the cap and a station 680 came in very strongly with good volume I went to try and tune another station but no matter where I put the gang cap all I get is the 680 station. changed to SW and the same thing only the 680 station! I'm glad the radio played I was questioning that everything was bad on the set.

So what should I do to get the gang caps working like there supposed to.
