Need 21.5 Crystal for tr-4cw
40m is dead on my TR-4CW and suspect it may be the 21.5 overtone crystal. All other bands check okay. Any suggestions on who could supply me one. Tnx.....Bill wa8bda

Re: Pc issue
Tom, My first thought was thinking a failing or undersized power supply.? Re-reading some of the responses I'm inclined to recommend trying these two things next (No Cost). 1. Hard drive defrag.

Re: Grounding grids in L7
Yes, I was part of the discussion. I also posted a link to W8JI's engineering analysis that shows why the indirectly grounded grid circuit was a bad idea. The idea did not originate with Drake and I

Re: Grounding grids in L7
There was just some discussion about this, I think in this list. Drake's idea was that the indirect grounding provided some negative feed back which reduced the distortion. That may be desirable even

Re: Grounding grids in L7
It is a PITA on an L7 due to the tight spaces. I just did a second one. Works nice. 73 -Jim NU0C "K6OXN Bob" <bobk6oxn@...> wrote:

Grounding grids in L7
I have had my L7 amplifier for about a year now, and it was working very well. I recently read and article about grounding the grids on the 3-500 tubes. I had not checked that with my L7. Today I had

Re: Drake TR-7 - Noisy transmitter
Jim, I found the article from Feb. 1989 by AE7K, entitled 'Zener Diode Noise'. I won't be undertaking 'carpet-bombing' bypassing all of the regulators in my radio! I had previously added the

Hi Guys, Okay thanks, yes seems like the market is soft for a lot of these old radios not too sure where its going to go. I've been slowly down sizing my radio stash to just a few radios that are

Re: B-Line Value?
FWIW in December I bought a working B-line with absolutely pristine copper for CAD$500 (~US$360). I think it might have come with an MS-4/AC-4, but my memory is too broken to remember now. --lyndon

Dave, the prices have been falling a little bit but, as I often say, "condition is everything". If they're fully working with no blemishes and shiny copper, then your price is in the right area. The
