REQ: Info on old electronic industrial balancer

Jun 22, 2007 1 Replies

Got a 1950's-era Electronic Industrial Balancer, made by Stewart Warner, but have no documentation. It's a vacuum-tube rig and I'm trying to troubleshoot it, but without a schematic it's a bit difficult for a tech like me. I telephoned the Stewart Warner company, but their tech support told me that the branch of their company that handled industrial gauges and such was sold off decades ago and they have no documentation left.



Here's the data from the nameplate:



Stewart Warner Electronic Industrial Balancer Model #329108


Thanks muchly!

If its tube, and 50 years old it's likely full of paper capacitors that develop leakage, over time. That causes too much current to flow through the tubes, and can also cause resistors to overheat and change value, or open completely.
