Re: Early TR-4 cathode resistors, etc.
Interesting. I suppose I should do the maths now.
500ma for all 3 tubes/3=167 mA .167^2= .027 * 15 ohms - 0.42W.
Yeah, that's within the power rating but obviously they decided to increase the

Can you read the top of the label on the crystal filter . Interested in who
made it, since I grew up in Cincinnati .

That's how they look in my 26xxx TR-4.

These 1/2W resistors look original. I have yet to measure them but they don¡¯t look cooked. There are a couple of other places where the repair soldering isn¡¯t stellar but this rig right now is

Re: Radio Monaco Coastal Station
I had the great pleasure of meeting 3A2LF in Monaco some years ago.
And I had one of the TR7/R transceiver and L7E/R amplifier from Radio
Monaco in my collection until recently.

Re: Mic for Drake TR7
Hi Stan,
In researching the ElectroVoice 638, I found the models 641 & 634 all have the same characteristics, differences seem to be in the physical build or stand.
Have you used any of the other

Re: TR-4 Resistance Chart
One thing to keep in mind, regardless of the measuring equipment used, is that most (but not all) of the resistors in these radios are 10% tolerance. That means that, at a minimum, your readings can

Re: TR-4 Resistance Chart
Also, while the type of voltmeter used can radically affect voltage readings, due to the loading effects of low resistance meters, differing ohmmeters should read relatively closely, whether they are

AF4K Crystals looking for FT-243 and HC-6 crystals for rebuilding
I am reminded that my stock of FT-243 and HC-6/U crystals on oddball frequencies is dwindling again. Here at AF4K Crystals, I use them for rebuilding onto useful frequencies.
Does anyone have a

Re: Mic for Drake TR7
Looks like you have already gotten a few suggestions. I have a Shure 444 mic I use with my TR5 and TR7. It's a good mic. I also have an Electro-Voice 638, high impedance mic, which I use with both

It is an impedance matching buffer to allow use with medium and lower "impedance" inputs. The D-104 cartridge is easy to tame. Just disconnect the internal circuit from the audio line and solder a

Re: TR-4 Resistance Chart
