Stewart-Warner 950 battery set
#14

Well, the radio is essentially finished. I could not remove the third transformer from it's can. Of course, after getting molten tar all over my fingers, I also sort of lost the will to fight it anymore. I mounted my replacement transformer on top of the chassis. I also mounted a single solder lug on which to connect my feedback loop. It works pretty well now. Still need to get the proper tube in there so that there's a balance between the two outputs.

By the way.. you know those pain charts you see in the doctor's office? The ones with the faces numbered 1 to 10? Well, in case there are some of you out there that have yet to experience it (and I don't recommend it), having your fingers coated in molten tar is about a 15.. with a screaming face..Icon_eekIcon_eek

Thanks Morzh. So it appears I did wire it incorrectly and I have to switch the wires between pins 2 and 4.bobclausen — 09:24 AM

No, it's not a problem, just during certain condition it could show up. Yes, an internal tube short could do that too. ...morzh — 09:13 AM
