Hooray!
 *party* Seriously, welcome back, and take your time. It's been quiet without you... even though I've been enjoying CDs on my tube set (and contemplating roasting some marshmallows on it...). Really makes you realize how much some speakers/sets sound like you have your head in a tin can. I'm pretty tempted to put a decal on the front of this set that says "electroking"... Much nicer model name than "stereo Hi-Fi", don't you think? Edit: Also, did a quick test at wall voltage; the HV goes up to 303V... 6% over 285, so that should be all right - this is with the radio tubes off the HV.

I've whipped up a spark-gap transmitter with an old relay and .1 uF cap, so we have something to test the oscillation with even if there isn't any AM rolling in- as is usual during the day (with the exception of a faint local one).
Edit: Some more news... both good and bad. The good news is the set oscillates; I can hear the buzz from the spark-xmitter when I bring it close to the antenna. The bad news is no stations... Anything that needs to be checked, or is it adjustment/alignment time? Last edited by VintagePC; 07-20-2010 at 06:39 PM.
