Hello everyone,I recently picked up a Hickok 539A and it seems to work well except for the following issue:
When the suppressor switch is in position two: - I lose bias voltage when the shorts selector is in "tube test". - The shorts light illuminates in all positions except one. - The following voltages are present during a tube test: (Setup for a 6V6 using pin 8 as a ground) Pin 1: 0VDC,3.3VAC Pin 2: 0VDC,3.3VAC Pin 3: 197VDC,24.8VAC Pin 4: 137VDC,37.2VAC Pin 5: 0VDC,0VAC Pin 6: 0.35VDC,7.86VAC Pin 7: 0VDC,3.26VAC - The following voltages are present during a shorts test: Pin 1: 0VDC,0VAC Pin 2: 0VDC,3.2VAC Pin 3: 0VDC,0.77VAC Pin 4: 0VDC,0.77VAC Pin 5: 0VDC,0VAC Pin 6: 0VDC,10VAC Pin 7: 0VDC,3.2VAC When the cathode selector is in position two: - I lose bias voltage - The shorts light does not illuminate in any position. I've tried cleaning the sockets with some contact cleaner to no avail. Changing any of the other selector switches has no effect on the above issues. The 83 and 5Y3 have been swapped in from a known working unit. Any ideas? |
