'he current owner of the BC-1T I'm getting discovered that the plug-in reply K5 was missing. He was pretty concerned about not telling me about it before, however I laughed and told him that if he had just now discovered the 4 833's were missing, I might not be laughing.
He said it appeared to be bypassed, so I looked at the schematic I've got, which is a little hard for me to see since my close vision in not so good, plus the copy is not real clear. Appears to me that K5 heaters are energized by K1 and in turn K5 will close and allow (some) output of the LV power supplies. I suspect this is due to letting the filaments on some of the LV tubes to light prior to plate voltage being supplied to them, 30 seconds best I can tell. I''d like to get K5 if I can find a replacement, don't know the type yet, however it appears to be an octal plug-in. I've got other rigs that supply both LV and filament voltage as soon as they are turn on, however I wonder if anyone has some ideas of why I would really need K5 in the Gates, that is until I can find suitable replacement.
