Also FB group Building Transistor Radios 2019-11-16 I was working on a Realtone 10 transistor AM radio that had a driver transformer with an open primary. I slit open the wrap and found the tiny fine wire on the right was loose so I soldered it to the heavy wire. But it was still open.

From FB group Bell Telephone … June 17 Dan Bottoms I’ve opened up the network of a 500 set, and got my hands full of that bazillion centistokes (like tar!!) clear silicone snot that is inside. I think it finally ran off after leaving it out in the hot sun for a week. I knew

from FB group Regenerative Receiver… Apr 8 庄议翔 The power transformers have the laminations interleaved. The first lamination has an E then I, the next one has I then E. So the transformer core does not have any air gaps, because it does not have any DC flowing through the windings. The transformers for single

From FB group Building Transistor Radios 2018-01-15 Nick wants to use two 10 mH chokes close to each other in place of a coil that’s used in the typical reflex circuit. I’ll include a schematic of the circuit (from somewhere on the net). This is labeled L2. (begin my comment) Nick Bastian The coupling is

I bought several of these miniature audio transformers from Electronic Goldmine. They are encapsulated so I can’t see anything, windings, core or materials. There are 5 pins, 2 on one side and 3 on the other, but the center pin measured open, so it’s apparently there to make sure the transformer is inserted the right way. The
