Brenda Ann,
There are several ways to go here. First, the specs for the modulation transformer- impedance, watts, and if it is for push-pull or single-ended. From that, we can get the right tubes, maybe a pair of 6V6 or 6AQ5. Those tubes are happy with 185 volts. If your modulation transformer can use the 6L6, you can easily change the power supply circuit to a "Full Wave Voltage Doubler" and I can e-mail the RCA circuit. Is this circuit designed so the current for the 6L6 and the current for the transmitter tube are on separate windings that cancel each other out? The transmitter may be a bigger headache than the modulator, and this power transformer may limit the choices, as it is small. Don As someone else said, you have a major problem with the power supply. The output voltage should be much higher. I think I have kenned out what that problem IS. It's not a 250-0-250.. it's a 125-0-125 on the secondary.. which would output pretty much what I'm getting. This is my transformer. From Mouser http://www.hammondmfg.com/pdf/5c0030.pdf #261G6 261G6 45250V C.T.@ 130 ma 6.3V @ 2A 1 4.00 2.50 2.63 3.56 2.0 What is the modulation transformer you're using? If it's a mains transformer it could be going into saturation. Proper modulation transformers are designed to accomodate a d.c. bias through the windings which normally requires an airgap in the core. In an ungapped core the dc bias will drive the core somewhere up the BH curve and the effects will be exactly as you describe - clipping on one of the peaks |
