Hello Boatanchor fans:
I have an Alpha 76A on my bench for repair from a friend
of mine but has no book. Am looking for a schematic covering
either the entire rig or at least the power supply as the
28 volt supply is out of it. Or, perhaps a website where
I might find one?

Thanks and 73

Doug, K7YD


If your 28 volt control line is "out" .. the meter bulbs will not light
For 28 volt control line - check these components:

D107 and D108 - rectifier diodes on PC board
C108 - filter capacitor
R115 and R116 -- R115 can "open". Alpha now suggests a 1 watt resistor
instead of the original 1/2 watt
[This was original problem with this Alpha in 1979 - when my Elmer owned it]

The tap from R115 goes to the Cathode Bias line for the 8874 finals
