Re: The TR-4 has 3 semiconductors - one is a neon driver

Is the solid state VFO and buffer in the TR-4 more stable than the TR-3 tube VFO, or

was it changed to save a little space, heat, and power?

Thanks,

One of the mysteries, I guess. There were some developments over their time that can only be guessed at ¡ª like my ¡°TR-34¡± (wish I¡¯d kept it) that was a TR-3 that was converted so well that it had to have been a factory job. It had everything a TR-4 has but still had a 6AU6 PTO and soupcan filters. It even had 6JB6 finals. I have photos somewhere but I believe I uploaded them years ago.?

I didn¡¯t have the space at the time to keep it ?it had great audio!
