General Electric CT-61A Power Line Carrier Repair
General Electric CT-61A Power Line Carrier Repair
(OP)
Does anyone know of a facility that will repair a General Electric CT-61A power line carrier transmitter? Normally, we'd just upgrade the unit to something newer but we are in a bit of engineering/design time crunch and would like to get the unit repaired if possible to avoid having to modify the scheme.
I don't think GE still repairs these units, but I could be wrong. These are 1960's vintage units.

If so, the first thing to try is to replace the CT, usually an 807.
What type of malfunction is there? Marginal performance? Dead? Ashes?
Coordinates?

We think the oscillator circuit (maybe the crystal) has failed. It does not appear to be a catastrophic failure. We just don't have the expertise to diagnose the problem.
By coordinates, I assume you mean, "Where are we located?" We are in the United States.
