Robert, it would seem to me that the voltage across the shadow meter with no signal should be more in the order of 7.8vdc, not .78vdc. Are you sure you are reading this correctly? If so, double check resistor 75 (2000 ohm) to see if it is the correct value. You will probably have to lift one of the wires from the shadowmeter to make this measurement. Also, double check the cathode resistors of the RF tube and the 1st IF tube. They should each be 300 ohms. If they are within 20%, they should be OK.

it certainly won't be metric! SAE threads were all that was known then. Take care, - GaryGarySP — 10:58 AM

I think this thing is way more accurate than my Walmart DMM. :DStormlord5500 — 08:19 AM

Thankyou for the kind words sir. I double checked it with my component tester and it read 2.7 ohms at .02mH.Stormlord5500 — 08:14 AM

Hello bridKarl, that sounds right or maybe 8/32 . Sincerely Richardradiorich — 01:00 AM
