got this meissner tuner from w1jm for the princely sum of $20 and that included shipping! what a guy eh? :thmbsp:
it wasnt a hard rebuild. one 3 section lytic and about 3 other lytics to replace and that was it. one smashed 6c4 tube which i was lucky enough to have an NOS one in my stash and she was ready to rock.
powered it up and all i got was white noise. talk about pee in my koolaid!
brought it home and tested all the tubes. had a worn out 6c4 (not the one i put in) and a worn out 6ba6. put two fresh ones in and shes alive and well now. looks great on the nightstand with my mono 6v6 amp.
at 40uV sensitivity according to roger russell, this thing needs a bit of antenna to pick up weak stations. gonna work on hiding a dipole somewhere behind the headboard or something of the sort.
enjoy the pic.
