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

There could be a short from cathode to chassis (ground) or the valve might not be conducting for whatever reason if there's no signal output present from the loudspeaker.

When the valve is operating there needs to be a voltage on the cathode WRT chassis (ground) The schematic I'm looking at says 6.5 volts (DC) for the cathode voltage.

Did you check the cathode resistor R35 as described in post #62?

Graham you said to only fit c34 at this time .
Thats what i did . Can i check R35 after C34 is fitted ?. At this stage now , would it be best to just change the R35 .?

I would measure the cathode voltage again as a double check.

MS looking at the schematic dia it looks like both 5 and 6 pins are on the same voltage 200DC also the 9th valve no - OA2 /VR 15 MT takes voltage to run from v8 Just checked both pins again 5- 6 5 = 210 dcv 6 = 170 dcv .

Please stop going off at a tangent. Measure the resistance of R35 and measure the cathode voltage.

Measure the resistance across R35 and the voltage across R35.

Graham this is the picture of the components . The yellow 400 one i fitted was in place of the 600 in picture .This was before i removed the 600wv The dark one in the picture reads 300 ohm stamp and k is this the C35 ? this was the picture before the yellow one you sent was fitted in place of the 600 i removed .

How do i go about checking the C34 ? Do i need to remove it from the receiver , or can i check it in place I can do this as soon as i know the location of the C34in the picture ..

I haven't mentioned C35.

Measure the resistance of R35 in circuit with the power off.

Measure the voltage (DC) across R35 With the power on.

The position of R35 will be shown in the service manual which I emailed to you.

Started to look in another location other than v8 for R53 i dont see it by the v8 . I will let you know asap once i find this R35. Thank you for the parts Graham your a star .. So get some rest for now .

R35 (not R53) will be near V8. It will be connected to pin 2 of V8. Is it perhaps the non-coloured coded resistor with a value written on it? 330R perhaps?

If in doubt just measure from pin 2 to chassis it's the same thing.

Graham yes i have both manuals .And looking again its on the base of v8 but no markings. Leave it with me for now i have been looking for it all day its not marked .Only other thing is to check the others close by.

One thing at a time please! Let's get R35 sorted before we move on to anything else.
