[HAM] Bad generator pickup coilMike Kearney armillary at comcast.netMon Mar 3 17:08:13 CST 2008
So I got this M2 and it has a missing tone (51) on both manuals and I removed the cap and tested it, a .255 measuring at .3, which is close enough, and I tested the 51 transformer and it's not shorted out. And so I did the alligator clip from the output of the transformer to a drawbar and get no tone, and then the input to the transformer to a drawbar and get no tone. So I look under the tone generator and the 51 tone wheel isn't stuck or beat up or anything, and the 63 generator on the same shaft has a good tone. So now I'm afraid it's the pickup coil or magnet. So what does one do when a pickup coil goes bad? Especially when it's on the front side of the tone generator? It looks to be a big job to replace it. Does anyone have a spare? All thoughts appreciated. Regards, Mike
