1978 Heathkit Pana (fixed)

[martin martin]

After sitting on the "broken shelf" for more than a year I devoted a Sunday to fixing this.  Has not been opened except for removing this leaking NiCads since I built it in '78/

The culprit?  a near short 0.02 uF.

Don't you just love those Beckman Panaplex?

What was the problem it was exhibiting?

Time was slow and fast. Display flickering.  Power transformer was running too hot to touch.

Nice, I have a GC-1005 (I think that's what it is called) which displays just fine - it just will not increment time. The rectified timing signal is present at the Mostek chip but that's about it.
A plan is underway to replace the controller, I shall report on progress as and when any is made.

+1 for loving the Beckman Panaplex (and the Sperry, Babcock etc)
