SB-101 Bulletin No:
SSB Tranceiver SB-101-5D
Grounding Problems on
Tranceivers
A quality of factory wired transceivers have been shipped with loose
rivets both at the rear phono sockets & at the final tube sockets.
This is causing a serious grounding problem. Corrective recommendations
are shown on the attached sheet:
[[[[[[[[[[[[[NOTE: IF MY INTERPRETATION IS NOT CLEAR - PSE LET ME
KNOW]]]]]]]]]
Illustration shows the installation of a ground buss for the rear panel
phono sockets. It also states that if the final tube socket rivets are
loose, they should be drilled out & eplaced with 6-32 hardware.

SB-101 Bulletin No:
SSB Transceiver SB-101-1
Meter Zeroing
Original 10-147 control tolerance not sufficientto allow zeroing in all
units. This part is being respecified to a closer tolerance. In the
meantime, any field problems requarding zeroing of the meter can be
corrected as follows:
Change: R-107 from 100K Ohm to 82K Ohm (1-159).

Low Transmitter Output; Low Receiver Sensitivity
When cleaning the unit during prework [tube sockets, potentionmeters,
etc.], don"t overlook the SSB/CW filter slide switch located with the RF
gain control. This switch handles both transmit and receive signals and
dirt and grease build-up can affect the performance of both functions.
