Re: TR-4CW
I can probably try those experiments that you just mentioned possibly tonight when I come home from work. I work on drivers and power amps all day long that go into MRI UNITS. Mark

Re: TR-4CW
There¡¯s always a first! BTW I just bought another TR-4CW but it has the RIT. It should be arriving soon. So when I get it I will definitely see if that one does it too! Mark

Re: TR-4CW
I would not suggest live-pulling of the Jones plug! That could be a significant safety risk. I meant that you should, with a clip lead or similar, short the wiper to grind before you pull the AC mains

Re: TR-4CW
Also to pull the jones plug off of the back of the rig to turn off the rig I feel is not a good idea. Mark

Re: TR-4CW
Also to short out the wiper to ground as I am pulling out (whichever plug) you would not hear anything the reason being is that the little mouse sound, squeal sound or whatever only last for a

Re: TR-4CW
So unplug the jones connector and not the AC cord. if I would to remove the Jones connector on the back of the unit I believe you completely shut off all voltages going to the rig. If I just

Re: TR-4CW
OK, two more things: DO the same test but, as you unplug the power supply, short the wiper of the AF gain pot to ground. Also, try normally shutting the radio off with the switch but in the AM mode

Re: TR-4CW
OK Gary I turned both gain and volume up to full blast and unplugged the rig and it does not make that noise. Mark

Re: TR-4CW
I forgot, the AF Gain pot is also the power switch. It¡¯s been around 15 years since I last saw a TR-4, 4, 4C etc. So obviously the issue lies in the AF stage. It would be an interesting diagnostic

Thanks for those kind words John. Initially when the rig was acting up I was so so close to just tossing it! But the more I started troubleshooting the more I started learning about this rig,

Re: TR-4CW
You only hear the sound when you turn the rig OFF! Varying the AF gain doesn't make sense.

Re: New to me TR7
Guys, I'm learning a lot from you guys about the "idiosyncrasies" of this rig. In a couple weeks I'll be ready. Thanks! [email protected]> wrote:

Re: New to me TR7
One thing that can affect how loud the radio sounds is the IF Gain adjustment on the 2nd IF/Audio board. The adjustment given in the service manual is vague. Too low and the radio will not be as loud

Hi Bob, I'm also bringing back on line a TR-7.? ?This is one that I had bought a few years back from Fair Radio during a store visit.? It was complete, but not working. My TR-7 was exhibiting the
