Shortwave Converter
#2

I've got the sw unit but never have used  it. I would just listen for it's output on the bcb. Don't remember if the convertor's dial is calibrated in frequency or 1-100. If it's calibrated in frequency use a generator set at the convertor's dial frequency to determine the best sensitivity by tuning the bc dial. This insures that the rf and osc are tracking properly.
Or
Bcb dial frequency= convertor's dial frequency - it's local osc frequency. So if you set the convertor dial at 2.5mc and use a well calibrated SW receiver and find the osc output at 3.5mc your bc dial setting is going to be 1mc.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
