Any kits available these days will probably be expensive. There's plenty of simple circuits online and tubes can be salvaged from gear that turns up at flea markets. |

Ebay has some AM transistor radio kits, i.e., unbuilt http://ebay.to/1UiPPFA as well as a variety of tube radios (AM, AM-FM. & AM-FM-SW), all built and some AM tube kits http://ebay.to/1UiOXAN one of which - a 7 tube AM radio - for $9 features: two in the discharge standard circuit; Modulated at 465KHz Plastic shell for the new material, and never go back to feeding. Each test port circuit Ic levels. Schematics, assembly drawings, and the other parts list, technical documents are complete. Despite the description, it uses transistors, not tubes. |

Probably something lost in the translation. Just as in England instead of tubes they would be called valves. Could be the instructions are also in Chineese. |

Parts list and notes on the schematic are in Chinese (though parts within the schematic are Roman, C1, R5, etc. Transistors are labeled V1, V2, etc.) Since the plastic case never needs feeding there is some slight likelihood of a translation problem. http://ebay.to/28J5Lw7 |

People should really consider building a reinforced charger room for their house, so when the charger blows, it only takes one room. |

What idiot would charge lead-acid (or any other large battery bank) indoors and unprotected anyway? Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

Clean-up is still a horrible mess, but yes, I do see your point sir. I would also recommend using your favorite neighbor's house for these charging forays. >> Peter Wieck >> Melrose Park, PA >KERR---WOOSH !!! What is left of my hair felt that! |
| Ignoramus2663 <ignoramus2663@NOSPAM.2663.invalid>: Jun 19 09:47PM -0500 Here's a followup to the story. I bought a clamp-on AC/DC ammeter that Jeff mentioned. I found a completely different alternator that I had laying around. Installed it on the forklift and again, no power produced at idle. However, we sped up the idle just barely, something like 10% higher, and now we get nice 4-5 amps charging current at idle. We also had to figure out which wires were for what. One was for voltage sensing and another was for jumping the field. For the original alternator, I purchased a rebuild kit and we rebuilt it ourselves. Thanks a lot to all for your help and encouragement. i |
