I have a Globe Scout and want to hook up a VF-1 to it..
The Globe has pin
#1..ground
#3 HV
#7 6.3 VAC
Pins #7 and #6 are jumpered...(6.3)
The VFO has 4 wires..
Red..HV
Yellow
Green
Shield (ground..)
I hooked it up and the VFO came on but the filament light in the Globe did
not..
I reversed the yellow and green and it fryed..
Now...since there are no friggen instructions to this abortion and no one
felt it necessary who built this thing to say how to hook it up, can someone
please explain how to hook it up.
Does pins 6 and 7 stay jumpered?
Do I use all four wires on the VFO?
What the hell am I doing messing with this piece of crap when I could be
having fun?
Why do I want to talk on this thing as there is no one to talk to anyway.
Forget it, I'm tossing the friggen thing and buying a computer...

Jos....
No instructions come with it because at the time (50's-60's), every ham
could hook up a
VFO without even thinking about it.
I hate to say it, but if you are giving up so easily, perhaps you should put
your ham license on ebay.
I don't mean to get you all bent out of shape, but it is one of those things
that just takes some sniffing around.
I tried to look on BAMA for the schematic on the Scout. It would not
download for me.
Anyway, I am guessing that the jumper on the Scout is the filament voltage.
It is jumpered because nothing is connected to it and it simply is
continuing the AC loop.
Disconnect the jumper, and measure those two pins with an AC voltmeter. If
you get 6.3 volts, then you found the pins you need for filament voltage.
Yes, remove the jumper, Now the scout won't work because the filament
voltage loop has been broken. When you hook up the VF1's green and yellow
wires, you've reconnected the loop. Both radio and VFO's filaments should
light. At the moment, forget about the VF1's red wire. That is the high
voltage, and you can worry about that after you get the filaments lit.
I have a VF1, and its manual. If I can get BAMA to work, I'll look at the
Scout wiring.
I'll let you know what I find out.

I did exactly like you said. Thats when it fryed..
Now if you could tell me 'without thinking about it' what happened, us
unknowledgeable people would like to be enlightened..

What do you mean 'fried'?
Did a resistor go up in smoke? or a tube go out, or a capacitor explode, or
the line chord melted, or the transformer burned and opened up??
What happened to the radio all depends on what fryed. By the way, did the
radio fry or the VFO?
When you hooked it up, was the other wire (red one) also connected?
