Re: Drake R4C myseriously dead

 

Isn't there a shorting circuit via an RCA jack on the back panel that has to be considered?

Hello:

I have a Drake R4C that went through the WB4HFN full service option about 5 years ago. It hasn't been hardly used at all.

Now when I powered it up on a variac, I get power but no signals, no audio, no nothing.

I find it hard to believe that this happened just by sitting. It was covered with a dust cover the entire time in a temp-controlled room.

Is there something I can try? I tried FUNCTION ON, and every setting imaginable. All tubes are lit (but not tested recently).

I plugged in the long gray cord on the MS4/AS4 combo but got no sound. Neither did I get sound from the front headphones.

Ideas?

Thanks
