Re: T4XC AGC
I have read that years ago, noted it on my schematic. I do find it hard to believe a Drake factory screw up that makes it to not work! I do have my T-4X on the bench right now, I will try to check it

T4XC AGC
In this article on conversion to 6146's? - http://www.k5dkz.com/t4x6146.html He states the following. This seems like a radical change of value. Is this valid? Exactly what does AGC do? Is this

Re: TR7 Service Kit - Extender Boards Needed
Yes, finding .156 connectors is easy, perhaps I should've asked ones that are compatible with the originals as far as pin dia is concerned along with the hooks that hook over the edge of the pcb so

Re: 12BY7 substitute
BTW a 12GN7 while not a direct substitute has the same pinout and is about twice the plate dissipation and higher transconductance than the 12BY7. I could not find one to try but it would be an

Re: 12BY7 substitute
I think I have answered my own question. These tubes are basically one and the same. I found quite a few in my stash, and this RCA is numbered with all three types. I ended up using a JAN GE 12BY7A

Re: TR7 Service Kit - Extender Boards Needed
I'll let Ron know to remove Bob's ad for those boards. He might have forgotten to advise him that they were all sold. Mike, should I remove your boards from the parts & service doc on his site? 73's,

Re: TR7 Service Kit - Extender Boards Needed
Mike, FYI in Drake parlance this is known as the "Jumper Board" and is described as such in the TR7 service manual. 73 -Jim NU0C "Mike Bryce" <prosolar@...> wrote:

Re: Sourcing T4Xany cathode and screen grid resistors
I don¡¯t have the answer to that. I did, however, throw out some carbon resistors recently (and I¡¯m in an ongoing process with my stock, which dates back decades) that were grossly out of spec,

Re: Sourcing T4Xany cathode and screen grid resistors
Steve, I agree. This is more of a temporary fix for me. Once I get everything working I will go back and replace them with new parts. What I don't remember is what is the drift profile of carbon comp

Re: DRAKE MN-2000 Ceramic wafer replacement/repair for Antenna Selector Switch help?
This is a standard sized wafer that has a quirky difference from a standard 2 pole 5 position wafer. The Common for one side is in the middle instead of at one end. You get around this by drilling out

Re: Need help with the planetary drive on T-4XC
That is also an advantage. Slightly OT, general purpose grease on the PTO bearings is what Drake used and its use also helped keep those 10 balls in place during reassembly. 73, Steve Wedge, W1ES/4

Re: Sourcing T4Xany cathode and screen grid resistors
The problem with that with respect to the cathode and screen resistors is that the out of tolerance parts will continue to drift out of tolerance. It¡¯s best to use new replacements of the original

Re: Need help with the planetary drive on T-4XC
Steve & Joe, I was suspecting that oiling the bearings could cause slipping. However, both of the veriers I have were packed with a thick grease. So, I will follow Steve's recommendation and try some
