Hallicrafters T-506 scored

[bandersen]

I found this tag just before powering the set up. I wonder what RePhased means


I'm using a dummy load in place of the 7JP4 filament and left the speaker disconnected. I have an isolation transformer and variac on the AC line. I added an extender test socket to the 25Z6 so I can monitor the B+


No explosions, no smoke and B+ seemed OK so I installed a 7VP1 CRT.


It shows signs of life
No picture or sound, but it's alive





I fired up my B&K 1077B and was able to get a picture of sorts and a bit of sound. That's all for tonight. All in all, not too bad.

Fast work. You should stop over here and clean up some of my neglected projects. I have two of these in the waiting line: a metal T-54 that I got last year, and one in the leatherette "luggable" cabinet that a guy gave me because he had too much stuff that doesn't work. Now, I have too much stuff that doesn't work.

I didn't really plan to get all three cabinet styles, but now that I do, it would be fun to (some day) take a photo of the three sets playing together.

No thanks - I have more than enough projects already
I know what you mean. I have 5 electrostatic Motorola sets and have restored 3 so far. Someday, I hope to do a group photo too.
