@glasslinger
@glasslinger 3 күн бұрын
I use a Triplett mocel 630 VOM set to the x10,000 ohms range. This applies 30 volts to the capacitor which emphases any leakage. If the capacitor reads below 20 megohms it has lost its seal and will eventually develop enough leakage to malfunction. Most of the good capacitors read either totally open or barely making the needle move.

Hi, I have an unrelated question, but I think this is the right channel, does anyone know where tu buy proper getter ring for making diy vacuum tube? Maybe not too expensive
@glasslinger
@glasslinger 7 күн бұрын
The getters are not the problem. It is the RF induction heater to flash them. For getters, buy a bunch of old TV tubes off ebay. Cheapest since you will be breaking them apart. Do not break the tube open until you are immediately going to put the getter on your homemade tube to seal off and get under vacuum. Exposed to air, you have about 5 minutes until the getter is destroyed.

​@glasslinger thanks, so the barium in the getter is stored in a metallic form even before flashing right? Witch are the tube most probable to have an unflashed getter?
@glasslinger

@@Farben-X I find the color set regulator tubes like the 6BK4 and the like, and the high voltage rectifiers like the 1B3. Large sweep tubes also have plenty of getter remaining. Don't pay much for the old tubes. They are worth about 25 cents each.

Wow...never sandblast near or around a glass dial face either. You got lucky if you didn't blast any of the graphics off of it. And you didn't bother to mask it off either before spraying paint around it? You take a lot of chances. It looks like you blasted some of the paint off of the metal model info tag on the back of the chassis, though. But if sandblasting and painting with minimal masking works for you that's all that matters. It's your radio. I'll stick to doing chassis detailing by hand.

Hi there maybe you might be the only one who can help me. I have an old black and white WEBER brand tv that has horizontal line problem that suddenly appeared where it was playing. Unfortunately I couldn't find the electronic diagram anywhere. It has 12 tubes. With a visual diagnosis I believe the problem is a PCL84 Tube that looks bad. But I'm not sure it's for the vertical scan. There is also a PCL82 Tube but I think it is for the audio output. I would really appreciate it if you could help me.

@glasslinger 11 күн бұрын
Make sure all the tubes light up. Replace all tubular capacitors in the set. Check the voltages on the tubes. (no plate voltage, voltages jumping around, etc.) This is not a USA set so I have no info on it. I would bet on a bad capacitor.

This is definitely a higher-quality receiver. It has those nice, big IF cans with the trimmer caps. In later years, manufacturers really took a step down in quality when they used those smaller, crappy IF cans with those internal silver-mica sheet capacitors and the fragile adjustable ferrite inductors. Those smaller cans almost always develop SMD.

The bronze wire gets very brittle during the heat treating of the tube. It has zinc in it so the 900 degrees F causes it to separate from the copper in the bronze.
