Re: L4/L4B/L7 power switch alternative
When Drake ran out of the original switches, all they could get for replacement purposes was the white colored ones.

Re: Drake L4-B no Grid Current.
Jim, thank you for the reply. I agree I should do a meter recalibration. But It was working, and now i am getting low power out. If anyone else have some suggestions of what i should look at? Is this

Re: L4/L4B/L7 power switch alternative
I have a simple solution for the power switch. While I have replaced the back end of the switch and I have a spare kit I got from Nationwide Radio, KE9PQ. I leave the power switch on all the time. My

Re: L4/L4B/L7 power switch alternative
Regardless of the amount of ¡°leakage¡±, it becomes irrelevant when one considers safety concerns, which dictate that any high voltage amp or power supply should be disconnected from the AC line and

Re: L4/L4B/L7 power switch alternative
Hi Steve, Yesterday, I finished rewiring the? Loudenboomer PSU ( L-4B transformer) from 120 to 240AC using 2 SSR's. I know they have a little leakage but it really isn't much. Just now, I measured

Re: L4/L4B/L7 power switch alternative
Hello all, I use these solid state relays, as well, and they are great! One thing to be aware of I'm told, as I've never experienced it myself, there is a small amount of leakage thru the switching

Re: Wafer Switch Naming
So "A" is closest to the metal panel? I have an ulterior motive. Another "old radio" project. It's a Collins KWM-2. I made up a circuit to fix its abysmal CW support. That little board mounts behind

Re: Wafer Switch Naming
Usually they are sequenced front to rear (A, B, C) then front or back. Study/follow the schematic to prove this out. They can be a bear to replace, but it can be done. -- 73, Kevin, K8KVN

Re: L4/L4B/L7 power switch alternative
I think either are fine of course... I found a seller on eBay that was selling those 240A45's for about $10 each (new old stock) I couldn't pass them up!? so I bought 6 of them! Then I found a

Re: L4/L4B/L7 power switch alternative
Rick; I did note that you were using AC controlled SSR's... Using an AC-controlled SSR for a "switch-saver" installation inside an L-4PS (or L-7PS) looks to be simpler and cleaner than my solution

Re: L4/L4B/L7 power switch alternative
You might have missed it.? I'm not running DC controlled SSR's.? I used AC controlled SSR's specifically? so I wouldn't have to have a separate powered DC supply.? The switch still switches AC but

Re: L7 fails to Key
Mark, yeah I agree? having powered circuit running all the time can present problems. (like having a wall-wart installed inside the box) I referred to the "ZR" article to mention the SSR's in general
