Default Re: Trio 9R-59D receiver problems.

The C34 c/c 400wv along with two more came to-day and i would like to thank Graham for his quick response to post these c/ capacitors to me free of charge .

The forum members have been so helpfull . This is the second member to post to me free of charge a part that i needed .

I fitted the C34 capacitor and the receiver is working as normal along with the hum So i took more readings from v8 pins 1 /2/ 5/ 6/ 7.

Results---- Pin 1 = zero voltage
Pin 2 = zero voltage
Pin 5 = 215 volts ac
Pin 6 = 120 volts ac
Pin 7 = zero voltage

So i can now see there is a low voltage on pin 6 .
I have been reading lots of forum posts,, and in one of them , and it was either David or Grahams posts that the extra valve no [9] that is fitted takes voltage from v8 .I then removed the extra valve as the post said. Re checked v8 and it made no differance to the low voltage on pin 6
