GenRad 1960s sound level meters restoration
(1/1)
jonpaul:
Bonjour a tous:
Our Museum has received four General Radio Sound Level meters, 1565-A circa 1960s..1970s.
One ceramic mic element is missing. 3 original GenRad leather cases. one 1562-A calibrator. No battery damages!
All sort of work. One broken meter face,
Adjusting CAL pot. with sound level calibrator all read low 10..20 db
I suspect, aged ceramic mic elements
Perhaps transistors, caps, resistors, pot, switches ?
Any ex GenRad, or noise reduction or acoustic experts out there?
Any experience or advise is appreciated.
Many thanks
Jon

I am not an expert! Is the calibrator known to be good? If electronic, it could easily be bad by now; if pistonphone, less likely.
I see the manual with schematic is on the IET site.
