Hello,
I own a Ferguson - 12, but I do not know if it is the old or the new one. I have unmounted it from the case for drawing schematic and doing some minor repairs.
It has 3 AF stages. The coupling between 1-2 and 2-3 are RC. The coupling between detector and 1st AF is by a transformer of the brand “Silver - Marshall”. Because the shape of transformer mounting and connections I think it could not to be the original.
In addition, I need some information about DC supply:
The are four +B sources ( detector plate, RF , AF(1-2) stages and power stage. May be 22.5 for detector, 135 for power and ¿ what for AF and RF ?
There is -C for grid returns of the 3 AF stages, the same for all three, two of them 201A and the last one of 112A type. For both tubes -C would be -9 volts if +B were 135. But 201A and 112A have a diferent DC wire.
The reostat is only conected to the RF amplifier (2 tubes). Then, all other tubes should work at battery voltage ( 6 or more volts) ?
Finally, I suppose that -B is connected to ground. Ins this case, if +A battery is connected to -B, the grid return of AF would be to +A, not usual, I think. The grid of detector tube returns also to +A, but it is a 200A, and for this also seems to be wrong.
I will be thankful for much any information or suggestion on this subject.
