Eico 315
While waiting for the tantalum capacitors for my Leader, I decided to give my EICO 315 a look over. I've fired it up a couple times before and there's something wrong with it. As I rotate the dial, the output will die at some point. I just checked all the tube and they're fine. I think I'll swap out those paper caps next.

Check the integrity of the variable cap - the brass spring and ball bearings in my 324 caused the output to come and go - if I pressed slightly inward on the knob, things were okay. A good cleaning of the variable cap fixed it. Definitely change the ol' caps though - waxy caps gotta go!
Cheers,

The tubes check good and I've swapped them with known good tubes for the heck of it - no change. All the resistors measure 10-20 % high, but I figure that's OK. I'll check the coils and trimmer caps next I guess. |
