1-A model 453 has a note on circuit diagram for connection of heater,
so 1-A has 12V heater voltage for calibrator 2-A, 2-B, 2-C have 6V heater voltage for calibrator, and in fact for 2-C
the only purpose for 6V heater is the 3* #47 lamps, the calibrator and
2-CN.
The 2-C was purchased in 1967, serial number 0653, circuit diagram
1001660007.
The reason I sold it to LA6VM after 1 month was that it does not have true
passband tuner, like 2-B, but only passband switch ganged with mode
selector for AM/SSB,
and AUX XTAL Socket for operation on 28.6-29.7MHz.
It should be noted that 3rd mixer injections shifts between 405/505kHz for
USB/LSB mode selection. The circuit diagram only shows SSB/AM selectivity,
but it is achieved different from 2-A.
Next stage is to draw the development of passband tuners for the different
receivers. see attached files.
