Default Re: Philips 543A problem detector stage

Hi Chris
The V3 anode load is shown as R16 (Philips data) plus the two IF primaries.
R16 is given as 6k8 (In this set Philips have fitted a 2k2)
The data sheet says Va should be 195v in AM mode and the HT rail should be 285v so Ia should be (285-195)/6k8 mA =13mA
My HT rail is a bit low at 230v and I measure 12 across the 2k2 = so 5.5mA
I attach two oscilloscope displays
First is V3 anode receiving AM signal when 1mV is injected into V2 grid ( 470kHz with mod 400Hz)

The second is the detected signal after the IFT ie junction C47/R39

The compression of positive swings can nbe seen.

Any ideas please


Chris
