Drake TR4C V6 & V7 tube shield needed?
While doing a lot of maintenance and repairs on my rig I noticed that the tube sockets for V6 and V7 were set up for tube shields. Yet neither one has a tube shield. In my manual neither tube shows a

Re: Drake T-4XB rubber feet
Good morning all: I have never seen the AC-4 6-32 threaded foot ever installed on a 4-line box, new or used, and have owned upwards of 50 of these boxes and accessories over the years. The new 4-line

Re: Drake T-4XB rubber feet
If they're simply stuck on, chances are that they're not original. There are some rubber "nub" feet that came from Drake. They look like the ones that are usually found on the AC-4 (and that is where

Drake T-4XB rubber feet
I just picked up a Drake T-4XB and noticed it came with very short rubber feet. Is this stock, or did someone remove the longer feet and replace them with the short stubby ones? They appear to be

Re: Early 4 Line supplies
David, Thanks for the picture showing that those little Chinese testers can measure electrolytic capacitor ESR. I had no idea mine (a 'Multi-function Tester - TC1') could do this, as I have always

Re: Tr7 recommission
Look at the front board of the High Pass Filter module. On the back side you will find a lone push pin connector near the edge of the board and near the top corner where the chassis ground strap is

Hi everyone, thanks for your help. they say don't work on a radio tired. Well it was the PBT button pressed. Signs of life now, but the cal seems weak. On 7 mhz it is a little noisy and the S meter

MY mistake, I apologize. ? That is what I measured a few years ago before installing the soft key.

Re: L7 power amplifier question
Dave, I don't have one here to measure. Research reveals zilch. So I'd just like to know open voltage at the jack and key loop current of an original L7 if anyone happens to know conclusively. Thanks,

Re: successQ multiplier cable
Excellent! Yes, the 455 kHz wiring between the receiver and the multiplier was simple multiconductor cable. It may be shielded but I'd have to take the 2-BQ apart to know for sure. RG-174 is certainly

Yes, you want to look at the 2nd IF/Audio board. CW operation is described towards the end of the text in section 2-11 of the service manual. In short the CW transmit carrier is generated by a crystal

Hi once again. I am back trouble shooting the TR7 with what I hope is the last problem. When I switch the mode switch to CW I get a 1800 cycle tone in the receiver that is over S9 in strength. If you
