Here is a boost converter circuit I designed to power many different circuits that require B+. Below in the attachments is an experimental schematic (works very well) that uses "off the shelf parts," and is really simple to build. In a future video, we will follow the signals through the circuit to get a better idea of how switch mode power supplies work. See the PWM in action!
Here are key things to consider when replacing capacitors in radios and switch mode power supplies. Some channel updates too. Enjoy!

Here's an essential tool for aligning and repairing transceivers, receivers, frequency standards and so on. Build this into a probe, or this can even be installed inside receivers for adding an external frequency counter. Give your old short wave receiver, communications receiver, or broadcast band radio the ability to have an external frequency read out.... Or just use it to align them!

Since this curve tracer "is of high interest," I designed another circuit for you! Add this circuit to your curve tracer or oscilloscope, and increase the life of your CRT. This little circuit (still in the design stage) will save your CRT's from a thing called "Burn In," (and it looks neat too!) In this video, I demonstrate how it works, and explain a bit about the circuit. Ve...
