tuning question
#1

Hi All;
I ask this question because I am unsure.. Which is the Tuning Capacitor set at for about 600KC, is it mostly open or mostly closed (plates meshed together) ??
When I have my Tuning cap mostly closed (plates meshed together) I have my Oscillator at 1010KC, but If I am at the wrong end of the Dial, then I need to reset my Oscillator with the tuning Capicator set almost fully open for my 1010KC.. I am happy that I can get this to operate at all on the Breadboard setup..
I have both the RF coil and the 1C6 converter tube and the Oscillator coil, as well as my Tuning Capicator all on the Breadboad.. My Oscillator coil is one I wound on a Blank (junk) form.. And the fact that it is working at all is encouraging.. I figure I need to get it working correctly on the Breadboard, before subbing parts from the Radio or trying to make this part of the Radio work.. I can make my trial and Error progress on the Breadboard first, it is much easier to change things arround..
THANK YOU Marty
