[HAM] Baldwin/Leslie BL-1

[Dan Richardson - Yahoo]

Further adventures of the man who is a danger to himself and others.

I put AC across 1 and 6, brought it up on a variac,
and got no particular current draw. Spins fast.
Tubes come up and it passes audio directed to pin 3.
 From Pin 5, the motor relay solenoid,
I get 40 volts AC to one AC leg, 70 to the other,
and 20 volts DC to ground.
I walked the pins with successively smaller resistors, down
to 30 ohms, but haven't managed to make the relay switch.
I haven't tried a direct short to anything yet.

Does anybody know what I need to do here?
