Title: Gates BC-5B/5E/10B Schematic Needed
Post by: W8CQ on February 01, 2009, 11:36:21 AM
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have a copy of the schematic for the Gates BC-5B/5E/10B they would be willing to scan a section of the schematic for me?  I need the section showing the audio driver transformer and the connections to the 845's and 2500F's.  I am helping a friend troubleshoot the audio section on his BC-5B.  With no schematic, this is kind of difficult.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff  W8CQ

You may have tried this already, but GATES/HARRIS Field Service is 217-222-8200.
They might still have the print. I called about a BC-1T last year, the offical line was we don't support that unit anymore, but he told me what I wanted to know anyway...

If you're successful in getting a copy from them, would you please let me know?  I'd like a copy for myself too.  Picked up a 5B some years ago and would like to put it back together again.
