The 6AL7 indicator was designed to provide an indication of correct tuning in FM receivers. The unit displays two bars parallel to one another. The control of the length of one end of the bars is independently controllable; the control of the length of the other ends of the bars is tied together. Therefore, three different pieces of information are available on the display. The common ends were intended to display signal strength; the independent ends were to be tied to the FM discriminator outputs to provide accurate center-channel tuning information (dc balance). It's a pretty neat display, although the focus is not as crisp as the familiar 6E5 types. I have a Browning Engineering Labs FM tuner that uses one of these. I have spec sheet information in an old Sylvania "Technical Manual" if anyone is interested. I would like a link to the aforementioned Don Stoner article.

It's a damned good article, beefy and long with real circuits, and recaps the more traditional eye tubes like the 6E5 as well. That one issue (published when I was in kindergarten, sigh) contains an incredible wealth of glowbug homebrew ideas. Another worth mentioning is a simple DSB exciter, which might be of interest to the glowbugger here (forget who) who was interested in building an SSB rig. While it generates DSB, it could be used as an SSB generator by running it on 3.579 mc and building a sharp notch filter with colorburst crystals. Add a mixer and linear amp stage and you're on SSB. The piece is "Low-Cost DSB-AM Amplifiers" by the estimable Frank Jones W6AJF, who only died very recently at a *very* advanced age. (I have books he wrote in the 1930s.) Page 91, same issue. Jones presents two circuits, one of which is for 6m, and the other for all five low bands, but doesn't include a VFO. You'd have to do a little engineering, but the 80m portion of the 5-band rig would work very well on 3579. It uses only four tubes: Two 6Y6s, a 6L6, and a 6H6 dual diode. The 6Y6's are a balanced modulator, with the 6L6 one stage of audio. (He was assuming an outboard audio preamp supplying 20v PP audio.) The role of the 6H6 is obscure to me; half is a modulation monitor and the other half is not explained in the text. Perhaps the weirdest thing about the circuit is that it is switched between DSB and traditional AM by turning off the filament of one of the balanced modulator tubes for AM! The "dead" tube then acts as a neutralizing capacitor, egad. Magazines like this are still available at hamfests. Grab 'em if you see 'em. --73-- --Jeff Duntemann KG7JF Scottsdale, Arizona ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Nov 1996 11:29:55 -0500 (EST) From: rdkeys@csemail.cropsci.ncsu.edu To: glowbugs@theporch.com, boatanchors@theporch.com Cc: rdkeys@csemail.cropsci.ncsu.edu () Subject: Fine BA/GB gathering last nite!

The only reason behind moving the 160 meter frequency was to take advantage of the cheap 1843.2 KHz computer xtals ($1) on the market. Otherwise, we should stay put. The general consensus I have gotten from the crew is to give 1843 a go and see what happens. The qrm might be bad, but at least we will be away from the TV buzzsaw.

I noticed that you were inquiring about a low power AM rig. I have constructed such a beast, and the schematic is available in .gif format (directly readable by most browsers), at http://webnotes.bicnet.net/$hamradio. Sign into Webnotes, read note #15, and page to reply #9 (there is a button to page thru the replies at the top of the page, once you are reading note #15. Don't worry, it's easier than it sounds!). From there you can open the schematic. This is the schematic of a 10W AM/40W CW rig using a 6AG7 Xtal osc/6DQ6 screen- modulated final, and has the advantage that no modulation xformer is needed. This schematic is exactly how I had the rig at one point, and it worked FB on 160 - 20M. It has since evolved into a 160M - 10M rig with the addition of a 6EW6 xtal osc/vfo amp/multiplier, driving the 6AG7. If you want to use it on CW, add a key click filter, too - I did. I plan on posting the schematic with these improvements as soon as I get a Round Tuit. The rig will certainly be heard on the 80M glowbuggin' QRG in the very near future (perhaps tonite!). 73, Larry (NE1S) larrys@fmis02.nsc.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Nov 1996 13:14:28 -0500 From: "Greg Parsons A.K.A.

Ref: "Poly-Pedance" Modulator Transformer model A-3891 Mfg. by Standard Transformer Corp. Chicago, Ill. Can some one please tell me approx. how many watts this xfmr can handle? Physical size is 3" x 2.5" x 2.5". About the size of a medium filament xfmr. The core stack is 1 inch thick. I have the sheet showing the impedance connections, but no mention is made of how much audio power this xfmr is rated to handle. It really looks fb for a hb qrp am rig. The transformer has dual, center tapped primary windings, and dual, center tapped secondary windings with 6 leads for primary, and six leads for secondary. Would you believe, that the impedance chart was still with the transformer after all these years? I know it is at least prior to 1964 because the address is Chicago 18, Illinois. Those famous ZIP codes (remember Mr. Zip?) came into use in 1964. It looks like this transformer will match anything to just about anything. The impedance chart shows the same connections and Z ratings (no mention of power) for four models : A-3891, A-3892, A-3893, and A-3894.. I have the A-3891, which seems to be the smallest transformer in this family. Any information you can provide about audio power ratings will be greatly appreciated. It is designed for firebottle push-pull audio, but with the dual primaries, maybe (?) it can be driven single ended. Does you have any ideas? If not, maybe a pair of 6F/K/V6's or even 50C5's push-pull. Maybe use something like a 6SN7 for a phase splitter/driver to the p-p stage. With all this snow (missed us so far), it looks like it will be a LONG winter. Just great to hb with some of those old firebottles out in the garage.
