Tesoro Lobo news

Ground Bal would be Most important here in NM.

I need mine on the front panel for sure.

Your getting it going good there.

Very very nice!!!!!
Good work
In my lobo design i found lot of problems with coil, do you plan use a original coil?

Bye Max

Hello all

Connections on rear plate now..

[UFO]

Looks good man. I think you will enjoy the Lobo.

Thank you maxbiri, for your clarification, must say that I am novice in pure electronics. I kept your info that I would not hesitate to apply if I meet some problems. again thank you and hope to read you.

Nice work, Legaucho, congratulations. Hope all will be OK in final step.

Hi Legaucho

In original lobo photo i see precision capacitor and metal film 1% resistor.
Look at brown capacitor and resistor around rx stage.
Low thermal drift components, and low noise are important in rx stage and phase shift stage in other stage they aren't soo important.
I hope you will havent problems but if you note instability or noise you can try change that components.

Bye Maxbiri

Hello all,

I have put all components on it.

All the best

Don't forget plastic metal alloy capacitors, they all start with MK. Especially MKM capacitors have low temperature drift allthough they are a bit expensive. I use them the the TX circuit of the TGSL.

Thanks Maxbiri for your infos, if you look on the original Lobo PCB, the capacitors are basics.

Just for information on the use of capacitors. This information is taken from the book "component technology" by Rene Besson. capacitor type

Hi Legaucho

The pcb look very nice but i must advise you to change ceramic condensator, all condesators below 1000 pf must be poliester - polipropilene type with low temperatur drift.
If you want use ceramic type you need NP0 type.

update:

I have started mine as a single sided circuit board . I am trying to keep mine just like the original .
Still have a ways to go but making "slow" forward progress !!

That's cool.

It looks like the solder wicked up the others to the top pad.

Seen none on that one.

Your Da Man.

[Legaucho]

Thanks "homefire", I don't miss this one, the copper path for this diode is below and the weld is well made, thanks again

[homefire]

Looking good there!
