Re: Wireless Set 19 repairs question.
Hi David
My records show that starting I at 12.6v DC for the A set only was 8 to 10 amps with a 0.01 series resistor. It settled after about 10 seconds at a nominal 1.9 - 2.0 amps. This coincides with the theoretical figure of 1.8 anps. If the IC valves are still present this would be slightly higher. I do not have a Mk3 circuit diagram but I assume it will be similar with 2 x 0.3 amp heaters in series. I opted for overkill on the diodes on a previous rectifier situation hence my suggestion for the 10a10 series which have a 6 amp
forward rating. The lower rated 1N54** series at 3 amps might suffice but you would have to check the surge current rating and the steady state power derating.
Hope this helps.
