1910? WE 317--HELP!

[TelePlay]

No you do not turn the carbon module.  You will see a wire that connects the carbon module to the terminal block.  If you rotate the carbon module, you will break the wire and the transmitter will not function.

Also if you turn the diaphragm on that type of transmitter you will break the mica insulator that is used to insulate and as well as to hold the probe to the carbon module and the carbon granules will fall out.

Dennis, about how much carbon is put into one of these transmitters? I am in the process of rebuilding one (an educational thing), have all the parts I need but have no idea of how much carbon to use. I've look for about an hour finding nothing so thought I'd as an expert.

Thanks for a reply and any help you can give me on this.
