[time-nuts] schematics for a HP117a please

[paul swed]

Thanks everyone.
Indeed the nuvistors will be a challenge.
Don't know if between the 2 recvrs I have enough or if they are good or
bad...
But if need be a bit o redesign may be in order.
I am currently using a fair size copper tune loop/preamp on a tracor 599H.
So thats a good start. But I will dig in and see whats cooking (Or not)
Noticed one has the creeping ground lug oxidation. Time for a drill.

Regards
