Title: ISO Signetics Device
Post by: WA2SQQ on March 31, 2022, 10:03:47 PM
I'm wondering if anyone can help me find this one.... got involved in an interesting restoration project

When you find one; please let us know.
They're probably still being marketed by the same company that pioneered the dark-emitting diode and dark bulb technology

You're supposed to post that one tomorrow (April 1st)  ;D

I have several WOMs, but don't know if they are pin compatible with the Signetics part!  8)

I’m also in search of LADs (light absorbing diodes)

Back in the 20's, potentiometers were scarce, so you adjusted the gain of a receiver by changing the value of the grid leak resistor. Resistors were cartridge type. MUTER released a Grid Leak Drip Pan that hung on the resistor.

rub a little Ideal Cream on your diode!  LMAO!

Once the resistor was up to temperature, perhaps it could be basted!
