Old Style Receiver sent on February 29, 2020 (19:40) by Alessandroprof. 17 comments, 530 views. [retina]

con Kenko Pro 300 DG 1.4x at 100mm, 30 sec f/11.0, ISO 100, tripod.

Ricevitore supereterodina AM/SSB, progettato e costruito dal sottoscritto "qualche" (meglio non contarli...) anno fa. Ancora perfettamente funzionante.

He's !!! You're great! The ssbs were very complicated ! And to calibrate it like you did ???

@Jacopo - I'm an engineer and a guy from electronics and photography.... in the house I got a fairly equipped lab

@Jacopo - The calibration is not complicated... just have a good RF oscillator (stable) with a reliable frequency meter.
Of course, you have to have the other irons of the trade to complete.

And I feel cool if I fix a tube radio.
Those who know how to design a transceiver from scratch and not even AM, EVEN SSB, I have always considered them !!! You have all my respect.
I too have oscilloscopes, found in landfill and then repaired, but at most I attach them to the audio output of something to see the waveform.... I have never been able to use them in a nobler way.

@Jacopo - I'll be going to take pictures of my tube amps, designed and built over the years. However, although in recent years I teach (I am a professor of electronics in technical institutes), I have never lost the passion to design and build, obviously for pleasure and not like the years spent working.
Think, my first radio was built 50 years ago, I was 10 years old....

You're great! I await photos of the :-D amps

I agree with the compliments of Jacopo (great esteem...) and also I am impressed by the part of design that involves knowledge and studies to say the least in depth.
I too (again, sorry Jacopo) i await photos of the amps :-D
A greeting, Marcello

@Monitor - Thank you for your compliments. In-depth studies of course, becoming an engineer has not been easy (beware of those who say otherwise!), although I am still driven by a passion for matter.

They're old Rimlocks like EF40 and similar ones I see in pictures ???

Yes, it is composed of the rimlock series. Specifically, the valves are: ECH42, EF41, EBC41, EL42. The BFO oscillator is a triodo of the 7-foot EC92 miniature series. The power supply, on the other hand, uses a GRAETZ bridge consisting of 4 silicon diodes with capacitive input and stabilizing resistance (the two large electrolyte capacitors are seen in the photo). I used this series for two reasons: in the 1970s these valves "pulled them behind" and were characterized by a very low consumption in terms of filament power.
I'll also take the photo of the chassis, seen from the bottom, to show the spinning (wiring).

I found a rimlock along with octals in a 1951 PA Lesa amp, which a son of mine uses as a headboard for the electric guitar :-D
My forbidden dream is to make a radio with non-heterodine valves, but in direct harmony with several stages accorded with the mobile honeycomb coils, like those fascinating trains of the early twentieth century 8-) .... When I retire at 130, if there's still aMs, I'm going to give you a little thought.

Probably, what you found is not a rimlock but an LOCTAL. The latter were larger in size and allowed for greater powers.... The maximum audio yield with rimlocks, EL41 in class A is about 4.5W. In the AB class push-pull stadium (2 valves) you can get to 10 - 12W.

It is a rimlock EF 40 all glass, used as an entrance. As a driver for the finals there is an octal 6SL7 that commands a push-pull of 6V6. Straightener 5Y3. All FIVRE. The amp has cute that the sheets of the voltage and output transformers are tightened by sturdy cast-iron casting blades instead of the usual ugly C-folded sheet. Once all the capacitors had been replaced and changes made by someone implying a permanent overload to the straightening stage resumed working very well.

Ok... It is also worth replacing the 5Y3 straighter with an indirect heating system. In this way you avoid the shock to the filter capacitors, because the tension to their heads rises slowly.

@Jacopo - look at this:
