Just obtained an R-4C from eBay (I don’t recommend this as a source!). The radio appears to have Sherwood mods (see photo). The radio works on all band, but with the RF Gain on Max, and the AF Gain

Boy did you hit a nerve asking about learning Vacuum tubes. I did not know there were still dinosaurs around. Remember first The UK uses Valves not Tubes. My laugh for today Don

WOW! What a response! Thanks for all the collective wisdom, and the suggestions. I've jumped on a few web sites and admired the author's workshops and their projects - especially Dr. Greg

Try McMater-Carr... They have a multitude of various rubber feet and bumpers available.? Not the cheapest around, but a large variety. A lower "durometer" number means softer, higher indicates

Paul, Thanks for sharing the information about the Fluke 8060a. I also have an 8060a and would like a copy of the instructions and bom for replacing the electrolytic caps. 73, Bob

Just looked on Amazon...lots of "soft rubber feet for Cutting Board"....maybe depends on whose "soft" tho Jim

Still have my 77 from the days at Digital, where in the location closing they said "you can take your tools with you if you want". Works fine (the intermittent displays seemed to come with the 8x

Now that I'm back at my shack, I can attest that the 70 series meter that I have is the 77. It's in excellent shape and is still holding its calibration, as far as I can tell without having a

The speed factor that I look at for DMMs is how quickly the beep reacts when doing continuity testing. The Flukes seem to be mostly pretty fast. Cheaper DMMs (yes I have some of those too) less so.

I have a WV-98C also. Love that huge meter. The other one is I think a WV-97A which is the usual form factor for VTVMs of that type. It works too but doesn't get used as much as its big

I like the 8050A a lot too.? I also like the 8842A.? Wish it had the AC option.? Seems like I've read where someone made a clone of the AC option board. For tube gear, my go to meter is the

Okay, apparently a lot of people are unfamiliar with the undercarriage on Vibroplex keys :-) See the 1st picture attached. From L-R those are the bottom sides of an Iambic, a Vibrokeyer, and a

I have a Fluke 17B (Chinese-made and for foreign markets) that I bought new on eBay a few years ago. I found the delay in getting a stable reading to be something that really bugs me. I have an old

Nice find on the Fluke 289. Even on the used market they're quite expensive. RCA WV-98C is the go-to VTVM here. Triplett made a really nice FET analog VOM, the model 603. It's roughly the same

I assumed that you are getting relay closure, if you're getting idle current. A bad 12AX7 can stop things, though. If it's running really abnormally hot, look around that circuit for shorted

I have two of the 8060A but have not used them in a while.? Usually use the newer auto ranging ones .? Could you send me the file about replacing the capacitors so I will have it if my 8060 fails I

The 8050A from the same era is a nice bench meter. I love mine. If you get one with the battery option it is portable but then you have to deal with NiCad maintenance. I found a 289 dirt cheap at a

The 8060A was quite an achievement for a 1980s DMM design. After graduating from college, I worked for RKO Radio in Chicago. We depended on it for a litany of precision audio measurements.
