Re: TR-4C low power output on 15 & 10 meters
If you go this route, be sure that you¡¯re buying the shorter ones. There are some that are too tall to fit in the PA cage. Steve Wedge, W1ES Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Sent

6GJ5 tubes have been used as a less expensive alternative. ?Do a search and you¡¯ll find some info and can decide if you want to try them.

Dave, a quick review of eBay shows several 6JB6/6JU6 going for around $15 NIB + shipping. Perhaps you can find someone with 3 for sale. Dave

Re: TR-4C low power output on 15 & 10 meters
Yes, I failed to mention that. BIAS is at 0.1 amp. So, sounds like everyone agrees, it's the finals. That is an easy fix! But rather expensive. Where are folks finding the best deal on new finals? 73,

Re: Drake R4/T4 rubber feet machine screws
Mike is right about the AC-4 small rubber feet with the stud at 6-32. Steve is right about the 10-24 screw for the large plastic feet. PS [email protected]> wrote:

Yup - 10-24 Common Slot Pan Head IF you want originality. I can get the length for you later today. 1/2" or 5/8" sounds about right. 73 PS [email protected]> wrote:

If you have confirmed that your idle current is 100mA then I would agree that your finals are tired.

Re: TR-4C low power output on 15 & 10 meters
They are not new, but they test OK, about mid-way on the output scale. Is it not a valid way to test final tubes? 73, Dave

Re: Drake R4/T4 rubber feet machine screws
Steve and the group those small rubber feet that screw into the bottom of the AC4 are in fact 6-32 thread. You can get the rubber feet from McMaster Carr, although I don¡¯t remember the part number
