Title: Help- SX 28A Component (R &C) Locations
Post by: Carl WA1KPD on February 22, 2017, 02:15:47 PM
I really need a chart showing the location of individual resistors and capacitors in an SX-28A. I'm willing to pay for one.
I have the military version of the SX-28A which means that it has been all sprayed with varnish, making parts and in particular and cable bundles very difficult to trace. I have not been able to find any diagram that shows for example where R34, or C5 is physically located. I can find some parts that go directly to a tube or switch, but other times they go off to tie points and then tightly laced cables were everything is varnish color.
Web searches have not turned up anything.
Specifically I really need to find R58, 59,and 60 . (AVC circuit) There are others but I'll hold off for now....
Thanks
Carl

Hi Carl..... what documentation do you have?

These resistors are in the cathode circuit of V8 (6B8)

Hi Julius and Dan,
Julius, I have a copy of the SX-28 manual from BAMA and the military manual for the AN-GRR2 (Military SX-28A) which at least has a resistance chart. But with the varnish and tight cable bundling it is very difficult to trace anything unless it goes directly to a tube socket. Even most resistors have no useful color coding as they two were varnished 75 years ago
Some resistors I can psych out as being good, by tracing the schematic and finding 2 points unaffected by other items that allow me to test. But as we all know components are often not near a logical spot  ;D.

Dan, I checked that service bulletin, but it does not list any component locations.

Thanks to you both
