    What an interesting old instrument. I just finished restoring and calibrating a nice surviving Heathkit model AA-1. Didn't know they also made a THD analyzer. Thanks Jeff. Keep 'em coming. I'm a "Benton Harbor Lunchbox" addict!

    Very enjoyable Jeff. I picked ip an IM 12 today for what will be my first Heathkit restoration of 2018. First thing I do is run to your channel for an intro

    Love your videos. If you have a Heathkit Audio Analyzer it would be great if you did an in depth demo of it.

    I have a HD-1 and this video has been very helpful. It would be great if you could do a simlar video on the AA-1 Audio Analyzer

      I don't own an AA-1, but if I acquire one I will make a UA-cam video about it.

    Hi there, thanks for a great video. I have one of these which I need to repair and although I have the circuit diagram, I'm still struggling to find the original manual for download. Did you ever locate one? Can anyone else help?

      I have not found a full manual available as a free download. You should should be able to buy one from here though: www.manualman.com/index.cfm

    I was tempted to get one , but the 20K range was insufficient for me

    Hi there, Based on the schematic, what will be the output of the HDM if I feed audio. would it be distorted due the tubes in it?.. Thanks in advance =)

    • @jefftranter
      @jefftranter  6 років тому

      If you were to feed in a pure sine wave and adjust for a null, any output would be distortion from the unit itself, such as noise from the tubes and power supply.

      Thanks for the prompt answer Jeff. It is appreciated. I would like to feed a sine wave from the audio output of a PA (music). any other tip you may want to share for my "experiment" looking for 2nd harmonics addition to the input wave?. thanks again
