Part 14 RCA 262 Repair. Secret SW Number Station!

Aligned the AM RF and the 175 and 600 KC padder. Too much noise on the audio to continue. Found IF tube had dirty pins and cleaned them. Also found the coax cable from the antenna input to the RF stage is beaking down and needs replacing. Then will try to align the set again. In the meantime, picked up the secret numbers station at 8.0 Mega cycles. Still unable to pick up WWV but was able to get CHU. Go figgure!

I've found that channel too. there is a channel in English on sw that is the universal time channel. could it possibly just be the time channel in Spanish?

I think this is still the agreed on explanation. Try Wikipedia and some of the links they show.

Hopefully I will get it in the cabinet in two months. Still have stuff to do as per video number 15. PS I learned a LOT form your videos. Even "it's not over 'till it's over"! Thanks!

Yep it so not over until its over. But it will be nice to see it playing in the cabinet. It takes a lot of time to complete a repair.

Thanks! I'm in the home stretch. Needs alignment in the SW bands and some mods to the speaker after I replace the coax cable from the antenna input to the RF stage. whew! What a project!

I'm sure you'll have no problem learning morse code, nowadays there's even a translater on the internet! Great job on the radio!
