I have recently acquired a 229A tuner. It needed a few repairs - mainly mechanical - but otherwise seems in good shape. I've replaced the dial elastic cord and it tunes smoothly and consistently. I
I hung my DVM off the 200uA meter plug and it is completely within specs. Fully adjustable and it seems to be working. So it looks like the Korean made 229A meter has failed. I'll have to do some t
Thanks for the suggestion Carl. The original diodes are 1N4148 as indicated on the schematic. Since these were so plentiful in my spares I replaced the pair of diodes in the 229A circuit before my
Thanks Bill - As mentioned in an earlier post I had already replaced the diodes and the problem persisted. http://lists.contesting.com/_tentec/2012-07/msg00010.html I really think it's the 200 u
I ordered the caps from the Ukraine a week ago. I looked at the 229A and was contemplating your exact procedure. Thanks for confirming the methodology. As for the meter. I have an LP-100A external
