Bump an email to me of the tube you're looking for as well.

We're going to install it on a test beam and see how it works then replace the six active beams if all looks good. It will kill two birds with one stone. Since we now use encoders of the end of the motor shaft to keep track of how far the balance weight moves. We will get rid of the encoder and use the feedback from the new servo motor to get position information instead. Should be a cleaner system.TXGunGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405501054321031442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022109203467084939.post-79008271514115863222011-07-28T15:51:03.742-07:002011-07-28T15:51:03.742-07:00I talked to the wife who's an unemployed elect...I talked to the wife who's an unemployed electronics tech/supply guru.<br />She said if you could send her the part number, she could find an online schematic and make a plug-in replacement out of solid state.<br /><br />Shoot me an e-mail and we'll see what kind of retro/solid state business she can look at starting.KurtPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12205267944616413162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022109203467084939.post-79862279729070286942011-07-26T07:13:50.261-07:002011-07-26T07:13:50.261-07:00I wonder if my dad might be able to help you...he ...I wonder if my dad might be able to help you...he has several sources for rare tubes, and still works on amps, and tube organs fairly often. If you shoot me an email with the tube types, I'll ask him.Uniquely Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907902833827720365noreply@blogger.com
