I apologise for my lack of electronics knowledge...
The reason I am here...
I am in the USA, in Massachusetts.
The circuit design is circa 1978. Through hole construction, I assume.
The number of layers, I have no clue, due to my lack of electronics knowledge.
Yes, I visited Express PCB ? website... I believe it was and viewed schematic creation software, PCB Design software... Prices, etc...
I had no desire to spend hundreds of hours working both programs in order to attempt to accomplish the feat. I admit, it is beyond my capabilities... I am a Metal Fabricator / Welder by trade... Not an electronics technician... I am a Communications Radio Operator at a hobbyist level... Not a radio technician. I was unable to get other's attention regarding this matter, in online radio groups...
It appears that this piece of radio equipment could be considered rare, as I was only able to find one other person with one, who is also missing the same related piece of equipment... I even had a supposed Dealer of the Factory Eqipment doubt the date of manufacture and the factory which produced it... He is mistaken, as I have one...
In the PHOTOS Section, I have placed the Schematic, the required Inductor ?, and it's description from the Manual, titled :
Tram / Diamond Corp ASM-1 Meter
Yes... Other methods of construction may be easier... If I had the electronics understanding... Sorry, I do not.
I began to search for components, and it seems I can still find them, although they are from 1978... I assume I would be using parts from that era of manufacture... Seems 1N67A Diodes are not that plentiful though ??? No, I am not looking to re-engineer the circuit to use more modern parts... Far beyond my capabilities... I cannot even determine which construction methods the parts should be... Resistors... Carbon Composition, Carbon Film, Metal Oxide ???
Capacitors used ??? I HAVE NO CLUE...
The "Ferroxcube"ferrite form needed to wind the inductor is still available, although it now has a new part designation number, I have been informed...
Actually, perhaps more than ONE of these I would like made... I would like to offer the other person I found who also has a Meter, MINUS the Remote Sensor, a completed Sensor Circuit Board... I do not believe I will find more people, minus the Meter's Sensor, but who knows ???
