EDIT!

I forgot to attach the Edited PDF Version of the Placement OC.pdf file (named: Placement OC (Edited).pdf). This file has compatible circumference to the PCB.pdf file, and has now been added as attachment together with the original version from @Ivconic as comparison.

I apologize for this mishap!

Regards,

Robert

Orderable parts list for TGSL

One of the toughest parts of a project can be ordering all parts. Below is a list of parts that I used for my last TGSL project. Everything works as advertised. Parts match the layout above. The only exception would be that I used J107 for BF247C and TL071 for LM308.

TGSL - Datasheets of Components

Uploading attachments indeed help!

All Datasheets of Active Components used in the TGSL as described by @Ivconic in his compiled project (see link on previous page) are presented here as Attachment.

Due to the fact that Board restrictions do not permit RAR-Part Files (or even RAR-Files), and also not ZIP-Files of more than 1MB in size, I had to pack the RAR-Part Files into separate ZIP-Files. But no worries here, for ZIP-Files can also be opened with WinRAR. What you will have to do is; put all 7 Files into one Folder, then "extract here" all selected ZIP-Files in one go, and then do the same with RAR-Part1 File.

Voilà, a miracle has just occurred, and you did not even need Dowsing Rods to perform it

Enjoy!

Good work guys, much appreciated by all TGSL beginners. Would also be interesting to explore all the parts substitutions that will work reasonably well, this is a start.

Maybe Qiaozhi can attach this to that TGS final thread/message he set up.

As I was downloading this information, I was actually thinking it would be a good idea to add it to the TGSL final thread.

I'll let you know when it's there!

[Qiaozhi]

It's there.
Note new file type (rar) is now available.

[dfbowers]

Corrected one line.. U104 and U105 should be a TL071AN or LM308N.

@Qiaozhi,

Thank you very much, this is certainly a welcome addition to the boards Attachment Management

For those who are interested in PCB manufacturing done by the professionals, in the Quote Link --> given below, you will find the best reference in the field for over 30 years! An eBook with a whopping 1632 pages, including bookmarks in PDF-format.

Printed Circuits Handbook - 6th Edition - By Clyde F. Coombs (2008 )

The World's #1 Guide to Printed Circuit Boards, the best reference in the field for over 30 years!

Interesting however, is a small bug that does not allow an "8" to be proceeded by a ")"

Look what happens:

And now spaced, and there is no more smiley:

I also have found a few Treasure Hunting/Metal Detecting eBooks, ... but where should I put them ?

Yes - I know about that one. The workaround is to simply to add a space between the "8" and the ")". The other solution is turn off support for smileys, and we don't want to do that.

schema,layout files

Qiaozhi -- it would seem that the original Sprint layout and schematic file (.sch ExpressSCH format) should be bundled in the TGS project files; they can be useful for mods.

24k resistors

There are two 24k resistors used in the TGSL schematic. One is in the TX oscillator, the other is a pull-up for the discrim comparator driving a JFet detector.

Can 22k or 27k resistors be used just as well? Why did Tesoro choose 24k? Especially for the pull-up?

TGSL Coil dimension

Hi fellows!

I want to build my own TGSL, following Ivconic's tutorial.
I am not sure about the dimension of the coil, so before I start, I share my coil's plan. It is designed with autocad, and this is a printable pdf version in 1:1. Please comment it! If it is (or will be) a good construction feel free to use it, it is my gift.
