Updated BOMs and Rocket Voltage Chart

Post by Ron Worley »

Gents, and Jana...

I have uploaded V1.8 of all three BOMs with small corrections and fixing the omission of R10 (1M) on the Express BOM (still not sure how that happened).

I also have added a Rocket Voltage chart- but need some help. I have everything I need on the Liverpool and Rocket voltages except the expected B+ values.

Any of you guys done enough of them to have a good set of values that I can reliable put in there for future builders????

Muchos Gracias!!
Ron

Rocket Voltages

Post by sst4270 »

Ron,

Here are some voltages I recorded from a couple of recent Rocket builds.
Heyboer Rocket trannys.
Wall voltage: 119.5 Secondaries: 505
B1: 272 B2: 265.7 B3: 198 B4: 172 B5: 168

Wall voltage: 120.3 Secondaries: 506
B1: 273 B2: 268 B3: 197 B4: 173 B5: 170

I realize the values are a little low, but I checked resistor values and everything was within 1~2% of intended value. Power supply caps were within 10%. It may be my rectifiers. I'm using NOS CV1377's. Military surplus.
Brand unknown.

Hope this helps.

Steve

Steve-

That's great- perhaps I can get some other guy's values and average them out???

Many Thanks!

Ron, I'd love to see such data but PLEASE do not average it.

Wall voltage - tranny spec - B+1, B+2, etc is the way to go, just as Steve has shared his data. Otherwise, you smear out the good data with the bad.

Z-man...
You make a great point, they do all float relatively with wall voltage, so I will use an intact set of values...
