Re: Ekco A274 - Project No 2
It took me a while to identify the V1 pin numbers in the FM tuner area, as it's very snug in there, with wires everywhere - see photo
Anywhere, after identifying the pin1 position by removal and reseating V1 this morning, I got the following values (specified values in brackets)
Pin 1 Anode b 180V to 164V (195V)
Pin 3 Cathode Nil (2.1V)
Pin 6 Anode a 189V to 175V (227V)
BUT, more importantly, while measuring, I got a strong, clear, reasonably stable signal. I wonder if my poking around in the tuner did something? For example, when I touch the probe on Pin 1 Anode b, the signal cuts off, only to return when I remove the probe. There is still occasional intermittent signal loss.
I shall monitor for a while..... but it's definite progress, even if I'm not exactly sure why
