I have one of these dummy load/wattmeters. <br>
The wattmeter is WAY off as far as accuracy. <br>
I decided to go through the alignment.<br>
What supposed to be a deep null in the balanced bridge <br>
circuit, when adjusting a ceramic trimmer cap...is just a slight
null. <br>
Floating around in the cabinet, I found a half moon shaped oval
piece of <br>
something. It seems to be a broken off piece of the wiper half of
the <br>
trimmer cap!<br>
So...putting two and two together, I suspect the trimmer cap!!!
(Rocket Science!)<br>
It is a 3 lead 2 - 18.5 pF ceramic trimmer. <br>
The closest I can find is 5 - 30 pF<br>
As a group....before I spend the cash, and gut the thing....Do you <br>
think that is enough in the ballpark that it will work??<br>
OR...<br>
<br>
Anyone have a 2 -18.5 ceramic trimmer?<br>

Thanks for spinning your wheels on this.<br>

Happy Holidays!<br>
