77 Chromed Rivets
#1

I had posted this on that other forum, but I realize that many of you seldom go there. So here, again, are a few pictures of a Scott 16 receiver chassis (there is also an audio amp) after a few minor touch-ups.

   

   

The 77 new rivets are all in the main chassis. There are many more in the power supply/ audio amp chassis.

I fired the unit up last night - and it worked Icon_clap Even prior to an alignment I can tell this is going to be one of the best receivers in the collection. Now I have to find a place to adequately display it, keeping in mind that I still have that other elephant in the closet which has even a larger footprint.

OH! Almost forgot. There are many more pictures on my Blog which will not eat up Ron's bandwidth.

Well one of these with the new chromed chassis (the Scott or the Strat) is going to the house, but not both of them. The Scott will probably stay at the shop/museum. The Strat (if I ever get it back together - but MANY less rivets) will probably go in the living room in the place now occupied by the 37-116X. But Philco Phans, the 37 will probably move into the dining room Icon_clap  but that means that the 112X is going to have to go somewhere(?) Icon_problem Don't worry, it will probably end up in the museum displacing one of the GE/RCAs from 1932 of which I seem to have the whole line.

Spent last night aligning the IF. The slug in the "IF diode coil" drug the coil around - bad for the contact wires. After it was fixed and set to max gain I have too much audio and the eye tube is closed almost everywhere on the band even at its minimum setting (the eye tube has a cal pot). On a short antenna it would be fine, but I am not inclined to settle for that. Going to recheck the values on the AVC, AGC and tapped vol pot today rather than detune, though reducing the gain in this stage probably does not affect sensitivity but does affect the indicator (eye tube) and the IF AGC. If I can get that stage to respond better, that would be the best result.

12-10-late

All resolved and the alignment is complete.
