Replacing resistors

-
Got all of the out of tolerance resistors on the main board replaced. Ended up getting the wrong wattage 47K resistor, so I had to make 47K with what I had. Not as pretty as I would like, but it'll work...

Testing the transmitter

Did some more work on the TCS transmitter. Everything came up good when I bypassed the variac. While trying to determine which pins of the Morse code Jack were the correct ones to key the transmitter, I found out that the pins in the back of a socket were bent incorrectly and not contacting the correct part of the plug. I bent them back into their correct position. Then I was able to Wire up my Morse code key to a plug that fit inside of that Jack, and have the correct pins key the transmitter. Next I will have to see if I could get any power out of it into the dummy load.

Did some more work on the Navy TCS receiver. I finally located the missing resistor. They were really tricky and added it to the back of the RF gain pot. I then checked the resistances. Now the pin that is supposed to read 1M reads 1.3M. So a little high, but within the ballpark. Next I ran a signal of several hundred micro volts directly into the antenna. No signal was heard. That probably means that the oscillator is not running. Time to read the manual again :(
