Re: Help Me please !!!
ok well the first thing is that you should NOT run the clock that way - you are destroying the heaters
second. whatever you dropped in the clock, remove it
third, go back and do ALL the power supply tests

Re: Help Me please !!!
if you have the battery in, make sure you take it out
the tube should also be out
do you get a beep when you plug in the clock now?

No, I don't have a Beep, I have a beep only when I disconnect the current, the battery and the tube is out...

Re: Help Me please !!!
so if you take out the battery and dont have the tube plugged in, the clock beeps when you plug the power in, right?
check your tube wiring, it sounds like you got the wires soldered in wrong

Hello, excuse me to my delay but I had some problem lately.
I checked all connections on the tube, all is OK, I made the electric tests all is normal except for last test IC3 to D3, I obtain 8,23v instead of 60v in the tutorial of assembly and the tension falls when I disconnect the DC plug… I have not beep when I connect the current when the tube and the battery disconnected, but I obtain one from them when I disconnect the current.
Thanks you very much for your assistance.
