After putting SN:394 on the bench and eradicating the underside covers, it was sadly very apparent that nothing may very well be decided from SN:394 as a result of nearly every resistor on the two IF tag boards, along with most of the resistors within the receiver, have been replaced. A Hallicrafters SX-130 receiver was the earlier merchandise on the bench. Front row left to right, Sonora GTU number 604, RCA Strato-World , Hallicrafters TW-2000, and Hallicrafters TW-one thousand . The cabinet was in poor beauty form and the set had been residence to a mouse which, besides building a nest, had left his calling card as evidenced by corrosion on the speaker metallic and chassis components. The R-values installed are what the CSR-5A elements checklist shows for the R-values and that fits with the 6SG7 tube IDs and tubes. Update: May 12, 2026 – I’ve installed SN:665 into the cabinet that was salvaged from CSR-5 SN:577. Note: CSR-5 handbook is offered on Jerry Proc’s webpage. The pot appears to be a linear taper (okay for CW.) The listenable Volume stage is between zero and 1 with 2 being very loud. I would like this factor to work as a result of I like the idea of being able to test leaky capacitors, however every time I contact it I get shocked, and then when I believe I’ve fastened it, it by no means seems to resolve the issue for lengthy.

I feel the AVC problem is utilizing 6SG7 tubes and then R27 being 100 ohms, there’s too much IF gain and that overloads the AVC. In SN:665, R34 is an original resistor that measures 398 ohms (should be four hundred ohms, so it is okay.) In SN:665, R59 (the other Cathode divider resistor for V5) is an original 400 ohm resistor that measures 602 ohms, a 50% drift so it ought to be changed since it’s somewhat affecting the cathode bias on V5. It measures about 1.5 meg with the elements listing worth proven as 1 meg. SN:394 has R34 (part of the Cathode divider for V5 2nd IF) amplifier that measures 840 ohms (one of the few authentic resistors however the coloration code broken and can’t be read with confidence however seems that it was 500 ohms – inexperienced?, black, brown.) I modified R34 to a 390 ohm resistor. I checked all the tag boards and the resistors all agree in worth with the CSR-5A “parts list.” If this receiver was modified by the RNC to be a CSR-5A, then the resistors are more-or-less appropriate.

In trying varied resistors and gain control adjustments on SN:394, it appears the resistor that determines best performance is the value of R27 acting one thing like an IF Gain control.

That is the R-600 and T-600 (again row left), the 8G005YT and 8G005TZ1Y (center row flanking the G-500). I gently pulled again the cover material to gain access to the braided wire that connects the hinge to the Wavemagnet mounting stud.

I pulled the chassis and used contact cleaner on the switches, tube pins and sockets. I didn’t do an actual teardown, I simply pulled the cowl off to see what was inside. I then adjusted the input voltage to see at what level the set would play effectively. A Transoceanic that can play properly on the upper brief waves with normal filament voltages from 7 to about 8.4 has an excellent 1L6. I judge a 1L6 by the filament voltage required for that tube to perform at the highest shortwave band (16 meters). At 9 volts on the filament chain the set was barely able to operate on the bottom shortwave band (forty nine meter). I monitored the filament voltage (from B- on the electrolytic shell connections to pin 7 of the 3V4) while powering the set slowly from my remoted variac. Like the other Transoceanics and clones, it’s a fun set to make use of. Other Questions – Although R27 in SN:665 looked like the original resistor, there was numerous “non-unique” soldering on the terminals and the cloth-insulated wire lead situation and resistor lead wraps didn’t look authentic. If the coil seems to be like it overheated read on. Cannot get a brand new alternative coil from the manufacturer?
