| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry No problem, it's just that I hadn't any knowledge about your being capable of servicing the tuner, that's all. If there are site rules about soliciting in circumstances such as these, then it seems to be somewhat counterproductive. | |
| Multiplex Tuner Repair Yogiboy, I appreciate what you have to add but I believe you're over simplifying. The intention from the start was to make this a project of no half measures. If there is nothing to be done to improve this tuner, then I will stop investing in it b... | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry OK, so you're located in St Paul. Had you mentioned it earlier, however I make it a practice to follow through with the first person in the chain. I'll call if I plan to send it to you due to circumstances. | |
| Multiplex Tuner Repair Being a newer building, this is one of the few buildings in Cincinnati without a fire escape. In fact, if I had a fire escape, I would put an antenna on the roof. The cable lines are somehow grounded, so I'll need some time to look around to see w... | |
| Multiplex Tuner Repair Thanks Rich, the MD ST2 is likely the first and possibly only option, as the landlord would probably object and getting to the roof would involve a good deal of risk. As I mentioned before, the satellite dish is on the brick facade, the front of t... | |
| Multiplex Tuner Repair I have good mono sound and bad stereo sound. I have good mono reception and good stereo reception according to the meter. My thought however is that my stereo reception needs to outshine that of my mono reception but I am at a point where I don't ... | |
| Multiplex Tuner Repair Sorry Rich I forgot to mention that I've got a single Monster 12 gauge copper wire on the 300 ohm antenna screw and that's connected to the thinnest wire of a TERK Edge without a power connection. No ground, I take it out of the window sill if I a... | |
| Multiplex Tuner Repair Hi Rich,I've got threads going on about basically the same thing so thank you for being patient. Yes, Ive got metal window frames in this building as it was built in the 1960's. The station wattage shouldn't be too much of a problem, currently I'm... | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry No Atmasphere they did not do a stereo multiplex alignment and I told them that this was what needed to be done as well as them cleaning the oxidation in the outputs.The technicians said they had never heard of a multiplex charger but that was aft... | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry OK, so here is the scoop straight from the technician concerning the 350 A; 'we can't find anything wrong with it so we want to give you back your bench fee and you can pick up your tuner also.'The tech tested the tubes and caps and said they were... | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry Thanks Atmasphere,Yes, I think it will work out. I dropped of the unit today and the technician said that they'll call me after they look at it. There's about a two week turnaround but that seems reasonable. Once I get word I'll post it here. | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry Well a bit frustrating so far. I replaced all four multiplex tubes with Telefunken's, Amplitrex tested. The 6BL8 and the 12AT7 are military grade. The balanced pair of 12AU7's tested high. I did notice an improvement and everything sounded fine as... | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry I concur Atmasphere, I'm just waiting to have the tubes before I take it to the technician. I'm replacing the multiplex tubes including the audio output with Telefunken's, so I need to be with the tuner before I pay out the bench fee.Any idea's ab... | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry Thanks Dave. Currently I've been using a Terk Edge without the amplification. I can receive the stations that are close by but have trouble with a couple of stations that are outside of the city proper. These outer stations were difficult to pull ... | |
| The HH Scott 350 A MultiplexCircuitry Ok, thanks Al! Yes, the band width is wider in stereo mode thus creating more difficulty in receiving the transmission. Currently I use an all-right passive FM antenna and I've found a place where a couple of channels have consistent reception qua... |
