Update

The new 2SK19BR sorted the problem! Thanks to everyone that helped!

The Maddy has now also had a full recap and I'm on with the asthetics now. Will post up pics and clips soon. :thumbup:

Thats a couple of hours of your life you wont get back :lol: :lol: :lol: Looking forward to seeing the pics. I recapped a couple of mine, Stalker 9 and the Adams. Wouldn't bother again, unless i see one bulging or leaking. I tested 'em both before and after. No discernible difference. Another American fad methinks. did you look into a counter with Herr Maurer in the end?

I spoke to Gerhard about the counter as well George . I didn't bother in the end . I bought a 40ch pic expansion off Nick which now gives me LO and HI bands . A counter seems pointless for 2 bands . Also , I was toying with the idea of making my Superstar CRT KF-VI counter "switchable" so that I can use it on my Madison/148 GTL . Looking at it all I have to do is short the 2 solder pads on JP1 .

It's on my list of things-to-do list .

I have a Madison belonging to a member here and had too fit one of those homebrew counters from the US and only reading AM/FM correctly is not what i would have done if building a counter for an SSB radio. :crazy:

This one was a standard AM/SSB 40 channel but now has a Spectrum FM board fitted which i wired to a four way mode switch and also added the PIC to do High band/Uk40/+10kc.

Works really well but not quite finished as i need to find something to hide the outside of the counter display and tidy some wires up.

Hi nick
I hate the big red lump of plexiglass. I'd get some vinyl cut for that wit a slot for the counter digits. It just looks tacky I think. But I'm just too picky on how stuff looks I guess. Ocd I have with it.... Lol
