I would simply use a divide by ten oscilloscope probe
connected to the plate of the S-108 local oscillator tube, feeding a frequency counter. The divide by ten probe provides isolation, to avoid pulling the oscillator off frequency. If you just want a 100 KHz calibrator, I recommend an old Bud Radio model "FCC-90 B". It has it's own power supply, and requires no connection to the receiver. (Just uses a loosely coupled antenna wire near the receiver input). It has two tubes, a 35W4 and a 50C5, in a transformerless circuit. The older Bud model FCC-90 used octal tubes. 73, Ed Knobloch Allen McBroom wrote: I've had an old Hallicrafter's S-108 since the early 70's, and trying to tell what freq I'm on is impossible. Does anyone know of a method for installing a crystal oscillator on this old tube rcvr, or some other method of acurately determining which frequency the radio is receiving at the moment? Many thanks for the help! |
