I’ve seen a bent shaft in my travels. The three sets I’m working on now are all straight. Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Sent from Proton Mail for iOS

Ken, Try sliding a small "refrigerator" magnet around on the case of the meter. If you can find a spot where it zeros the meter, glue or tape it on there. If it works, it's an easy, no risk fix. Jim,

When your ONE job is to deliver a 4" long 1/4" steel shaft without bending it..... :-) I agree, tt's hard to picture it being bent after being installed. John

Steve, I'll have to check those. Thanks, Barry - N4BUQ

Check the values of C50 through C52. It wouldn't be a bad idea to check the resistors around the tuned circuit, as well. Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Sent

All is well. Carol saw my post here and we got everything sorted out. I downloaded my ‘cd’s’ yesterday. I am going to print them out today and bind them tomorrow. Joe – W7RKN From:

Cranking up the output of the generator helped and I can hear it better on any/all band settings (was only hearing it well on one of the AUX positions but can hear it now regardless of the bandswitch

Yes, the SK is correct, but the sale and mailing of his CD's has been handled by a family member since then, up until now, apparently. I ordered and received some since he became SK. Tom K0SN

?I, too, suspect a slightly bent 2-B tuning shaft may be a factory installation of a defective part, occurring at some tiny percentage of production output. I cannot imagine any kind of damage or

Oh that’s ok, my TW-1 will let me hear the dips, I’ve just been tuning it backward.

Make sure that you have it on the right pin. I used about a 1V signal and had no trouble. 73, Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Sent from Proton Mail for iOS

The S meter in the 2-B is identical to all of the S meters used in the R-4 series, and they’re mechanically and electrically identical to the plate meter. Normally, these meters rest at S-1 or 0 mA

You have learned well, padawan! :D 73 -Jim NU0C "Paul Ellis via groups.io" <paulz67@...> wrote:

Funny thing, my 1st 2B had the same problem! I pretty much did the same. Remove the shaft, tap is straight, reinstall and restring.? I wonder if it was a bad run? Pete W1UO

I don't have a 2B but have an R4B and? T4XB and a TX-4, all meters sit at zero with power off. Not sure how to mechanically zero these meters but that is whats needed.?Sent from my Galaxy

Ken good evening. I just looked over my shoulder at the 2B on the shelf and the S meter is resting at S-0.? Granted, it has been unplugged for a few weeks. Hope this helps 73 de ki5o joe

Is it normal for the 2B S meter to sit at about S3 with power off? I can zero it OK with power on, but it always rests at S3 when the power is turned off. Ken, VE3FIT
