Re: TR7 next problem
The WB4HFN website has a section with great information related to that power supply board. I just used it to resurrect a TR7 that was DOA. Good luck. 73 Tony N5DIM

Re: TR7 next problem
Sounds like you are on the right track. Don¡¯t ocelot the electrolytic capacitors on that supply as well. Gary W0DVN

Re: TR7 next problem
Gary, I found a few minutes to work on the TR7 and discovered that the high VCO is not working at all. It does have the 10 vdc supply switch on it but I don't know if that reulagor is working or not.

Re: VE3EFJ third mixer mod for the R4C
It seems to me that the 6EJ7 was one of the first frame grid tubes. Supposed to be magic but then turned out to have problems. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles WB6KBL SKCC 19998

Re: VE3EFJ third mixer mod for the R4C
I thought about that, but you know how difficult it is to get to that tube.? Might have been easier making the mod than swapping the tube several times.? Now guess I'll move on to the audio and

Re: VE3EFJ third mixer mod for the R4C
I have done this mod and it is, indeed, effective. I have found that some receivers can benefit from simply trying multiple 6EJ7¡¯s and selecting for lowest noise. The circuit is very sensitive to

VE3EFJ third mixer mod for the R4C
I recently acquired a late serial R4C with no mods applied.? There was quite a bit of noise in the audio with a dummy load attached and after reading everything I could find on the subject I figured

Re: TR-4C problem on 40 meters
Steve, I smelt no smoke and saw no burnt resistor. As far as I can see from the schematic only the following parts are used on 40 meters: L1, T3, C4 and C7 (inside T3), T8 and T10 - and of course the

Re: TR7 next problem
Thanks Gary and Jim. On the radio working I don't remember having it up on those two bands before but I expect it did work. In cleaning the female connectors on the VCO board I used a GUM Proxabrush

Ah yes, a Molex issue. I knew I had seen that somewhere before but did not think to check Drakelist. Another thing to do is inspect the female connectors looking into the pin holes. If you see a large

Re: TR7 next problem
It is worth asking, did the failure of your VCO board (displaying 51.950) occur on its own? That is to ask, did the radio work properly and then just fail or has it, as long as you have had it, always
