General Radio 1650-A Experimentation with Coils, Capacitors, and Tank Circuits

Retro Tech & Electronics via YouTube

Overview

Explore radio frequency experimentation using a Genrad impedance bridge to measure coils and capacitors, calculate resonance points, and verify results with function generators and oscilloscopes. Learn to derive component values, perform paper calculations for resonance prediction, and reverse-engineer actual capacitance across inductors. Gain hands-on experience with frequency tuning, FFT analysis, and signal generation while understanding the intricacies of tank circuits in this comprehensive 28-minute tutorial on vintage radio technology.
