Trouble Aligning 116B-121 IF
#3

Hi TA Forbes,

The Shadow meter checks out ok. My biggest concern is not being able to align the IF properly. I believe the Shadow meter / low AVC voltage is just a symptom of being out of alignment. But, as mentioned above the variable mica caps bottom out before reaching the optimum output voltage.

As for removing the IF cans, unfortunately all three are connected, and can not be removed separately. The difficulty I am having is in getting to all three clips.

Thanks,
John

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
