Dad bought a number of Heathkits. He was not a particularly meticulous assembler, and they often didn't work correctly. I would re-follow the instructions, and correct resistors, mis-installed transistors...
I bought an AM/SW radio, which you assembled in stages as a learning tool. Was a very very good introduction to tube technology. It's all mine, now. Still using the VTVM, though I replaced the battery with a LM317 powered by the filament supply. The scope hasn't been used since I got some Tektronix scopes. (I think I have six, now. Seven if you count the one on the curve tracer.) I found two more Heathkit VTVMs in the thrift stream, which I bought. Basically if I find that kind of test equipment I buy it, though I did pass on an NTSC generator. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
