SAT speed on White's Classic 3?

[douglas]

Does any on Know what resistor can be changed to adjust SAT speed on the Classics? I also want to mention that C 31 controlls the Tone, and it can be adjusted to go higher or lower by changing from 10N to a different value.

SAT is actual for all-metal mode, but may be all-metal is not main mode in Classic. who knows I am right now or not...
if you are so want SAT anyway... look at Hammerhead schematic and take similar part with SAT control for Classic.

Hello!

I think you have to look at R32,the one connected to C16
You can put a Potentiometer + a fixed resistor for a minimum value.

Jeff,
Heres what a whites tech told me!

"You can either increase the resistance of r32 or increase the capacitor value of c16"

Can someone explain How to increase the resistance of R32 or the Value of C16,
And what resistor should I use and where.....
Email me if you would...

[Götz von Berlichingen]

You can increase a Capacitor Value simply by adding another Capacitor in parallel.
If you want to increase the Resistor Value, add another Resistor in series.
In both Cases, the Values will add up. This Method is good for Experimenting.

let me see if I understand exactly what you are saying!


With further research I found the resister Value as 220 k ohm on R32...


Resister color code on R 32 was as follows. Red=2 Red=2 Yellow=four 0000 and Gold
band for tolerance. So if I want to increase the "Resistance" in R32 I would add another
220K ohm resister in "Series" with the one Thats already on the Circuit Board, correct?
Or should I use a larger resister other than the extra 220K ohm? How about a quick
diagram to show how to use a switch to toggle back and forth from normal SAT to Slow Sat

I already asked Mr. Bill! Besides, it will take up to six weeks for it to get done according to what someone else said..... I want to learn to do something for myself anyway!
I thought the purpose of this forum was to learn and help others to learn also! Well so far
I have learned about resistor color codes, how to use an ohm meter, series and parallel wiring of a resistor or capacitor. I have a Mint teknetics Mark-1 LTD that I will most likely
need to work on one of these days as East Texas is so busy and People have had there detectors there for over 2-years ...Also! I'm doing Mods to my detector that Mr. Bill doesn't do and he told me already that he doesn't want to
work on a detector that has already been worked on by someone else because he doesnt
want someone saying that his work was insufficient and that was after spending $1,300.00 on detectors from him in the past. Another reason to learn and do
something for "Myself" I would like to learn also to be confident enough in myself to
do the Tone Mod on my mint condition XL Pro, That Mr. Bill doesn't do!! I figured the IDX is a Good place to start...

"Note" All My mods up to this point have been "Physical Alteration" with just basic knowledge needed to alter the looks an placement of control housing. Like on my LTD shown below that I should have never sold!!!!!!!

try change U5 on FET type for first. TL062, TL072, TL082, LF353, LF442, TLC072, LT1057CN8, TLC272, TLC277, TLC27M7, TS27M2, TLE2062, TLC2262, LT1057CN8.

The 2262 is just a dual CMOS opamp. I don't think noise, offset, or bandwidth are critical in this application. So use any dual CMOS opamp... You could probably use a TL072/082 JFET opamp... they are very easy to find.

or you are believing me or not. there is no another way. if not than what you are doing here? what your electronic skill and practic I do not know. I see its near to zero level.

Pardon me if I don't fully understand your English!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my english is internationally clear reading. not problem there! niga of USA says on spanglish. why you understand the niga and do not understand me writing clear classic English?

With further research I found the resister Value as 220 k ohm on R32...

It might be easier to remove R32 and connect in an external potentiometer (for example, 1MEG) with some flying leads. Then you can adjust the pot until you get the SAT speed you require. Then, using your multimeter, measure the pot resistance. Do this for both the fast and slow settings you require. After that determine the closest fixed resistor values, and switch these in or out of circuit using an external switch.

open the article of Carl Moreland Hammerhead and read pages 5 and 6. I do not see better description around on your mod...
