Title: Another MB-40 tech question
Post by: kc2we on June 18, 2020, 10:14:57 AM
I am looking for a scan of an advertising page by National Radio.
QST Dec 1950, page 77. A description of the National MB-40L Tank Circuit.

Since it’s an advertisement it’s not found during a search on the existing library of documents since it’s not actually an article.
Sine ARRL staff is working from home, there's no way to get this from the ARRL until further notice. If you have this QST and can scan one page, that wud be great. Tnx in advance. kc2we@arrl.net

I'm not sure if you have these, but I attach two files.

I will scan or photograph the Nose article.

The 40 is a trouble maker in grid tank service without his mods.  One part is removing that ground strap.  He explains all in detail.

February 1956 QST.

If you don't get enough drive on the high band side, a small 2 turn pancake coil of #14 or 16 placed in between the two sections of the HF coil is a good place to inject your drive. will need a switch 80-20M / 15-10M

in schematic, disregard everything except the MB-40 notes about the added winding.
