Recapped the Heath HP-10 this afternoon.

[W1GUH]

Fun game to watch, & it was even football weather! Pity it wasn't snow.

Almost as much fun as building a new Heathkit! Now...gonna get that pretty Cheyenne/Comanche on the road & FINALLY get back in the window! That'll hold me til I get the PS for the G-76 sorted out.

PS and one cable are done and checked out. Initial firing-up of the Cheyenne says it's "semi-alive." Lights up, there B+, the final draws current, but there's no grid drive. Ah, well, tha'll be fun to track down another day.

For now, the PS seems to be very happy and is good under load.

AND -- no magic smoke has escaped!

No smoke is good smoke.

No smoke is good smoke.

At least inn this situation.

Looking forward to checking this out; could just be that the +LV pins on the connector are corroded -- had a problem with the +12v that way. If I hadn't been so tired I woulda looked to see if the LV was getting into the radio but it was time to quit.

Nice job but you missed two.

Yea, but they're not in a high-stress situation. One's on the input 12v...forget where the other is, but it's also on the input.

But thans for noticing!
