Re: RCA AR88D Comms Receiver.
Hi Allan.
Apart from one cap replaced in the rf section, 1950's era this one was untouched. All covers are in place with the two tuning rods clipped on.
I heated up the slugs on the iron and the res went down to 50k. When they went cold two went back to 2meg and one stayed at 50k.
I measured the slugs in my friends set today and band 1, 2, & 3 slugs measured 50k, the 3 slugs in 4, 5 & 6 coils mesured > 20meg.
I think I have got a definite problem with the slugs.
John
