I haven't found a substitute for silk screens just yet, but I have found a local auto paint customiser who is very good at matching boatanchor paint colours. I have had great success with the custom formulated spray cans he makes up from a sample. He does it all by eye with "...a pinch of this and a dash of that..." which unfortunately does not lend itself to keeping formula records :-( I'm sure there are similar places all over the USA . After a couple of coats of paint there are various finishing varnishes available to get the right texture. (Has anyone seen that fellow in Canada who does up Tek scopes in hot rod colours??) The last job I did was a couple of months ago and he told me he was thinking of shutting up shop because there was nobody to pass the business on to. He was trying to convince his son to take it over. I would have thought auto paint matching would be a good meal ticket. He has always had customers in the shop whenever I've been there. For silk screening, there's probably some product you can print to and then transfer, sort of like making PCBs. It might be worth checking artist's supply stores. I know it's OT, but they are the only places I can get ferric chloride crystals these days.

If someone nearby has a large ultrasonic cleaner you can access try that, you might try your friendly neighborhood jeweler. A good ultrasonic cleaner will break loose anything that is not strongly adhering to the plates and any ultrasonic safe (not flammable) cleaning fluid can be used. A mechanic's part's washer might also work but it generally will not break loose the little particles that the ultrasonic cleaner will remove. You will need to re-lube the bearings after cleaning. 73, Rodger WQ9E Robert Nickels wrote: > I'm working to restore a transmitter that has been stored in a damp > area and picked up a lot of corrosion.

Don't know if the refinishing I've done would suit the purist, as it's very difficult to capture the nuances of paint color, gloss, font details and such, but.. The panels I've done certainly look good to my reasonably critical eye, and the paint quality and endurance is better than original. ************* Lynn did great work, but seems to be just plain tired of dealing with customers and hassle. I'll probably regret this, but.. I've recently worked with a couple of local vendors to get (a) decent quality wet paint that matches the original Halli color pretty well, and (b) a screen-maker who delivers very nice artwork and screening. I've refinished several SX-115 panels, an HT-32, several SX-73's (different color, of course), and a bunch of TMC GPR-90 variants (yet another "light gray"); they turned out very well, and screens are done and on-hand. I could be pursuaded to have screens made for the SX-42, provided there were enough panels to make up a cost-effective batch. My guess: about $150/panel. If anyone's interested, get in touch by email and if there's enough interest, I'll start the ball rolling by getting a panel to the screen-maker for artwork generation. One absolute rule, however: this process is slooooow, as in several months. If you're in a hurry, or easily irritated, find someone else to do the job. Another excellent panel refinisher: Dee Almquist, up in Waynesboro, Virginia.. Never done business with him, but have seen some beautiful work that he's done. 73, John K4OZY On Mon, 9 Apr 2007, Morris Odell wrote: > Arden said: > > > > What's missing is a book of instructions on how to paint and make silk > > screens. > > I haven't found a substitute for silk screens just yet, but I have found a > local auto paint customiser who is very good at matching boatanchor paint > colours.

I helped work on one not too long ago, and fortunately, there's nothing wrong with me ... wrong with me ... wrong with me ... wrong with me ... Seriously, the SX-42 can be an extremely challenging restoration: - caps are located BURIED behind delicate and suspect RF and IF coils and INSIDE IF cans that are hard to extract. - resistors that need replacing are UNDER AND BEHIND stuff you really don't want to move. - The bandswitch is custom and un - obtainable - if any part of it breaks you are up against a very delicate surgery job. Also, the thing is prone to arcing or a leakage path between a B+ point and a grid point. - almost every, repeat every, cap needs to be replaced, including the postage stamp silver micas that you HOPE are ok but are not. - the RF front end coil and switch section has innumerable bad parts which are almost completely inaccessible - It really takes a sweep method to align the 10.7 mc IF discriminator to best performance (Oh, did I mention that the two essential micas in the discriminator transformer are INSIDE the can and you can't get it out without about two hours of work?) - the bandspread in-out clutch shaft can be wrecked if you try to dis-assemble it the wrong way (fortunately there are instructions available.) - no two schematic versions agree, and no schematic available will agree with the radio you have on the bench. All voltage and resistance tables are suspect. - If you are lucky, the one or two bands which show up with one thousandth of the expected sensitivity are bands you don't want to use. BUT... Here's the good news: - there are folks with experience on them and you can get advice, information, encouragement, and consolation. - the radio is a SWEETHEART to run once it's in good shape - It sounds LOVELY with a good speaker - the tubes it uses are not dirt cheap but are available - almost no existing radio has it remaining so you don't know you need one, but the arrow on the clutch knob has replacement stickers available (and they look perfect!) - the world has De-Oxit (and you'll need it.) - If you REALLY want a first class job and are willing to pay the buck$, panel refinishing and re-silkscreening is available (also for the R-42 bass reflex speaker) If you want to see what one looks like when nicely restored, see: http://isquare.com/personal_pages/ras-hardware.htm The radio is at: http://isquare.com/personal_pages/sx42.htm The speaker is at: http://isquare.com/personal_pages/hallicrafters-r42.htm (That's the one I helped with.

The smoother the surfaces on capacitor plates the higher the voltage breakdown capability. Before applying any kind of acid or alkaline solution to the plates they must be removed from the supporting insulators or the insulators will absorb electrolytic substances and be ruined. A better approach would be to bead blast the plates and then replate them, again removed from the insulators. If insulator removal would prove to be the cure worse than the malady bead blast the plates and then coat them with acrylic insulating varnish.

Hammonds were unique in the fact that all the tones were generated by discs spun by a synchronous motor, never out of tune with itself. The organs vibrato was generated by a phase shift network run through a variable capacitor with the shaft being turned by that same synchronous motor, the caps would get gummed up with dirt, the only way we found to clean them was to disconnect the cap and pass B+ though it.

If you add an acrylic varnish, you increase the dielectric coefficient between the plates. This means you will no longer have the minimum capacity available - and the maximum will have increased, too. 73 de Brian, VK2GCE ------------------------------ Message-ID: <461AF963.60608@oneradio.net> Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2007 21:41:39 -0500 From: Robert Nickels MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Old Tube Radios CC: Old Tube Radios Subject: Re: Cleaning Variable Caps Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thomas Frobase wrote: > I have an industrial ultrasonic cleaner, I use it to clean the gears on > R-390A's it is about 10 X 14 if you would like to send you capacitors I'll > give it a shot. > Hi Tom, That would be a really handy item to have in the shop, and I'll keep your offer in mind.
