Modulation Bias Adj Pot value on Valiant

(1/20) > >>

WZ8J:
I have a kit built Valiant I that has pots to adjust both amp bias and mod bias on the right side of the chassis. I have been having trouble setting the static mod current. The reading on the meter jumps up right at the point that it approaches 50 mils and I cannot get it to behave.
I have tried contact cleaner sprayed into the pot and working it back and forth, but that hasn't helped. I may have a replacement in my parts box.
Anyone know what the proper resistance and wattage is for this pot?

Thanks!

MikeKE0ZUinkcmo:
Should be in the parts list section of the manual.

w8khk:
The Valiant I modulator and final RF amplifier bias settings are adjusted by taps on R22, a wirewound 5000 ohm, 25 watt resistor.  This thread will provide a link to the manual and the adjustment procedure...

Hope this helps.  GL, OM.

N1BCG:
R21 (Modulator Bias) and R22 (RF Bias) are both 5k Ohm, 25 Watt wirewound potentiometers.

In some manuals, R21 and R22 are listed as R61 and R62 but the values are the same.

WA5VGO:
Try swapping the two outer leads. That should move the wiper to a different place on the element.
