Re: TR7 volume knob / AF gain
FWIW, the effect is called "play through". It is common in some old receivers using self biased detectors. This is not the cause in the TR-7. -- Richard Knoppow 1oldlens1@... WB6KBL

Re: R-4A BFO Gremlins
I think you are interpreting it correctly.? This is what I think it means: 919664054 means 9/19/1966 at serial number 4054 1026665400 means 10/26/1966 at serial number 5400 So Drake discovered the

Re: R-4A BFO Gremlins
Steve, Sorry, I was looking at my R-4B schematic. Disclaimer.. I am somewhat "Drake rotary switch" challenged... The way I think it works is... Power for the BFO or the AM detector comes from R130.

No 10R+ on my TR-7
Hello, All of the sudden I have lost 10R . I have traced it to the mode switch. However my copy of the mode switch wiring on my schematic is not very clear. I even took the wafer off the switch bank.

Re: R-4A BFO Gremlins
Gary, this is an 11-tube (I'm guessing that C188 is in the 13-tuber). with a solid state BFO. What I'm seeing in the schematic isn't exactly what is on the radio but the photo in Garey's service

Re: R-4A BFO Gremlins
Steve, Could it just be a bad switch contact? Measure for voltage at T11 at C188. 73, Gary WB6OGD

Welcome to the group, Rich! When I'm just listening on 40 or any band, I usually have it parked 50 kHz above the bottom, in case I can use my straight key. I've been preoccupied with my bench lately

R-4A BFO Gremlins
Welcome to my bench. Today, we will look at demonic possession of a BFO. Recap: BFO doesn't work with switch in any of the BFO positions. Notice short note when switching from BFO modes to AM, right

Re: TR7 volume knob / AF gain
That is very common in the TR7. The reason is that the pot does not go to zero ohms until the off position is reached. Later versions seemed to overcome this, likely by a change in the pot. Gary W0DVN
