Someone did nice work on that one. 73.......Steve Smith WB6TNL ... RESTORED_W0QQitemZ290144049870QQihZ019QQcategoryZ4675QQssPageNameZWDVWQ QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem...
People who can do this type of restoration work make me sick ;-) For goodness sake, it doesn't even have the required one or two coax connector holes. It's a...
Hi! I plan to use my early vintage AC-1 on CW most of the time. I would also like to try it (for fun) on AM, using plate modulation. I plan to open the lead...
... Comments? ... Aren't modulated-oscillators illegal on HF? I'm pretty sure they are in Canada, not that anyone is checking anymore ;-) Steve / VE7SL Web:...
I was going through and unpacking my remaining Ameco equipment and came accross my old R5 receiver and TX86 transmitter. I can't find and am not sure what...
u are a lucky man. Not too many TX-86 rigs around. Here's a shot of one along with it's PS-3 power supply: http://solo11.abac.com/zorroab1/AMECO86/AMeco86.htm...
... The TX-86 number might actually come from the band coverage (or maybe a design number??). It does cover 80 through 6 meters hence "86". This doesn't seem...
... Steve, TNX for the photos. I assume this is the PS-3 power supply. I do have several transfomers which would supply the voltages needed. Most of them are...
Mark, When you get everything un-packed, would you please upload some pictures, especially the TX-86 and it's accessories, to the Photos section? TNX ...
If I'm not mistaken, it's 'self-excited', amplitude modulated oscillators which are illegal, and for darned good reasons :-). That's probably not the major...
Another thing to do would be to adjust the resistor in parallel with the two capacitors. A recommendation was around 15k or so and go up and down from there. ...

I don't know for sure but I would guess half way around the world. That's as far as you can go anyway! ... From: Renato Tambellini To: amecoac1@yahoogroups.com...
Renato, During the period 1963-1965, I was EL2AD (original holder of callsign) in Monrovia, Liberia. I was quite active and very frequently worked the USA...
Yesterday I received my "new" AC-1. It was beautifully restored by Monte, W9BMW. The are pictures of it on this board. Naturally, my first order of business...
I've been looking at the HW-100/101 VFO schematic posted in the files section. I don't own either of these rigs, so don't have a VFO to salvage, and don't have...
Hi! I simulated the AC-1's power supply using SwCAD III. The power supply I simulated is the one in my own AC-1... which includes a pi filter consisting of: a...
Hi, Stu. Thank you for posting your evaluation to the Group. That is an interesting graph. I would be curious to see the curves under the conditions of no...
Steve I just posted another set of waveforms. The first set, which I posted earlier, assumed solid state diode (essentially no voltage drop) rectifiers. The...
Nice work, Stu. Thanks much. I'll be watching for the latest curves. I have an interest in the results of your simulations for an AC-1 accessory project...
If I get the time tomorrow, I'll put my GB1 on the bench and look at the PS through the scope...it's chirpless, and I suspect a slightlier beefier transformer...
I've read some of the excellent comments in the FAQs regarding the benefits of a much smaller grid leak resistor, and the prospective benefits of a variable...
Advertised to QTH.COM, Ad# 615657 I know nothing of this seller or this deal. I am listing it here because I believe them to be fairly rare and thought maybe...
First a correction to my formula for the loop gain. The correct formula for the loop gain (before saturation effects take place) Loop gain ~ Gm x Z x Q; where...
