Default HT Relay


"Jim Lesurf"


During the first years of manufacture the ampliers/recievers in the
Armstrong 600 range used a thermal delay relay to avoid a surge when the
unit was switched on.

These were expensive. And they were one of the main failure modes which
brought sets back for repair. One of the reasons I avoid physical relays.
I
replaced them in later sets with a better PSU that simply didn't need a
mechanical relay. Over the following few years it was quite clear that
this
had a big impact on the reliability of the sets.



** So the pig ignorant pommy ****wit was so stupid he used one of these ?
