Hot rod Emerson
#4

The Emerson has an intermittent problem w/static crashes that are controllable w/ the volume control. It's not from 12BA7 mod, it had the problem before. Thinking a bad if can. When it was working I did take notice that on an unmodified set fading stations like the CA stations would fade down nothing where the modified set would fade some but still very copyable. I don't have a good calibrated generator w/good attenuator in microvolts. So the results arn't scientific just anecdotal.

Chas, I saw that site a while back and it was one of the things that encouraged me to give it a whirl. I'm pretty sure I remember reading about back in the '60s. Back in '52 Collins updated their 75A2 from using the 6BE6 to the 6BA7 has two. Something else awaiting repair...

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!
