the blocking caps confuse me.. i dont get how they pull the whatever there blocking to ground and not go past then str8 to b + ... maybe down road explain how signals travel on the wires .. or if you will the cars on a road .. i guess they act like traffic control cops but whats stoping the traffic and making it do what the traffic cop says to do .. confused? lol

I was lucky to have bought a similar receiver way back in junior high about 65-66. It was fun to power it up at night and hear sounds from across the world. I think it was called Voice of America - powerful, sending to Eastern bloc countries. BBC was there, and many Morse code senders keying way too fast for me to understand. I should never have sold it, but with the power supply the unit was way over 50 pounds and I could not lug it from apartment to apartment during my twenties. Mr Carlson is the best. Funny thing - any pther YT I can set the speed to 1.5x and comprehend everything, but with Mr. Carlson 1.25x is the max for me. p.s. I taught a 4H marksmanship class for a couple of seasons. It was my first time being addressed as "Mr. Alamo" by a bunch of students. We addressed the students as Mr or Ms, and all the adults addressed each other as Mr, Mrs or Ms too. It's a good way to have an attentive and respectful group, with everyone using titles + last names.

That BFO can reminds me of my final exam in my first AC Circuits class in engineering school. We had a mystery box with 6 terminals on it, we were given an oscillator, a VTVM, and an oscilloscope, and had to derive the circuit inside the mystery box. Good times.
@hestheMaster
@hestheMaster Год назад
Thanks for showing all the steps in learning about a BFO and how it works Paul. I noticed the non moving plate ( stator) below the bent one you fixed was also a little off as well as one on the other side. A little trick I learned a long time ago is to use a flat feeler gauge (for automotive use) to set an even gauge as I don't have long finger nails. As a teacher on YT you are the best as far as electronics is concerned.

Paul: Great video! And not just this one! All of the videos in this series are great to watch. As a fellow ham radio operator and an at-home radio repair technician (not to mention a Patreon supporter) I find all of these videos, a wonder resource for me as they aptly fill in the gaps of my ever-growing troubleshooting experience. I have a question about your Agilent U1252A DMM. In previous videos, you have used the Agilent/Keysight model U1253B with the OLED display, but I don’t see it here in this video, nor have I seen in the past several videos of yours. I’m curious if you still have and use it, or did you replace it with the U1252A? The reason I’m asking is because I am considering getting rid of my U1253B. I absolutely love the meter, but I cannot stand the battery life on it. It seems as if I’m always charging it, or, if using an alkaline battery, always replacing the battery. I’m considering replacing it with a fluke 87V. What are your thoughts? I don’t know if you like to do product reviews, but it would be great to see a video or two from you describing the test equipment that you like to use and why. Thank you for taking the time to read my lengthy dissertation.

If I had to make a guess, I suspect that the M notation for 1000 comes from Roman Numerals I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, M = 1000 so that we are in the year MMXXIII. At some point after these radios were designed and built industry standardized on our current engineering unit standardization scheme. Great video, thanks for putting these together.

I don't have a fraction of the experience you do but I can't think of a time I've seen a variable cap shorted like that when there's not also some other clear impact damage. Of course, I've never worked on anything as sturdy as this beast so maybe that's it - whatever happen left no obvious damage here, but would've on a plastic housing, or something like that.

@@MrCarlsonsLab I’m surprised you didn’t put a wink a the end of _your_ reply! And no, your humor didn’t go over my head. 😉 Isn’t the full answer that a ‘noisy’ component is, in reality, a fast-intermittent component that misbehaves when under stress in a circuit? Such a ‘tester device’ is actually a ‘highly skilled tech’. You’ve shown us that the main tools to narrow down noisy component(s) are live, in-circuit measurements, whether by ear with the device’s speaker, a signal tracer, meter, frequency counter, or scope (and more - even the good half of a stereo circuit!) Some noises are identified in-circuit by tapping tubes, suspect solder joints, and rotating variable caps and pots. Once you’ve located the culprit, out-of-circuit confirmation depends on the type of device. You’ve shown us how your modified scope/curve-tracer has confirmed bad semiconductors, like that crazy intermittent zener diode, with relatively low sinusoidal voltage. That mica cap tested dead as a doornail with your low-voltage cap tester (even though the symptom was noise.) Yes, you recently confirmed a noisy resister out-of-circuit by applying high B+ voltage across it with your signal tracer. And I suppose that some bad transformers and coils could be confirmed with a hi-pot tester. In summary, a ‘universal tester device’ for locating and confirming noisy components is the technician’s set of _elevated skills_ that you teach us in every video! 😊 (Patreon member here also!)

Greetings, and thank you. I was a tech in the 80's. (not an engineer) I also got my amateur tech license at that time. A long time ago, and I just recently decided to get my amateur license back. My target HF rig is the Yaesu FT-101B. It's what I used back then. Not as complex as the radios I repaired in the Marine Corps, but a solid workhorse of a transceiver, and in my comfort zone. Off and on, I have watched your videos. All of a sudden, your videos have become more relevant. (Who'da thunk it?) I have my first repair challenge, and I need to straighten the face plate, as it interferes with the dial on the VFO. I'll be getting the external VFO, as it will come in handy, and may make this radio usable ahead of the repair. ( The face plate is stout and will require some force, but not hammer and anvil force. Still figuring out how to use a hydraulic jack to 'finesse' it. ) I plan to buy the 'cheap' parts radios when they actually are cheap, and repair a few, that I can turn around and cover test equipment costs. (really tight budget here.) Anyway, thanks again for educating and entertaining at the same time.

Looking forward on how to reduce the drift on SSB. I am guessing an voltage regulator for the heater on the local oscillator and bfo and my be a zener diode for the 150 v plus rail. I have noticed on my AR88 the VR150 voltage does change by about one volt when the RF gain is reduced.

Interesting how RCA used M as the 1000 abbreviation. The Roman Numeral M is for 1000 whereas the industry has long since used the Metric K (kilo) for 1000. Also interesting haw RCA draws the tubes with the cathode at the top and plate at the bottom, opposite to the long since industry standard (at least in my experience) of drawing the plate at the top and cathode at the bottom, as I learned to do decades ago.

5:40 I've got a Hallicrafters S107 that does something similar - for the BFO input they have a capacitor on the schematic that's marked as a "gimmick", and in the radio itself it's just one turn or so of insulated wire around one of the lugs of a tube socket.

23:00 that glorious mystical sound first heard and loved during childhood years DXing (people used to think I was a girl until my voice broke and it used to annoy me so much)... imprinted into my neurons...

I'd love to know what occurs that makes them noisy but I imagine you would need more careful disassembly and a microscope. It just sounded like arcing so would there be visual evidence?

I'd been a little confused about the BFO, thanks for the information. Do believe I can trace down A BFO issue in a Hallicrafters receiver I own. Thanks again.

first time i heard of mica was helping (lol) dad replace the "windows" in our old moore heater. really interesting stuff if you caught the edges of the old ones that had been heated and cooled thousands of times you could flake it off in layers. no so with the new stuff.

I wonder if those bent caps were done on purpose by someone who wanted upgraded gear?

Really wished I had the knowledge you shared at 3:40 prior to when I started restoring an old Triplett VOM. Learned that lesson the hard way.
