Re: L-4B Blower Wheels
JIm,
It IS the same blower wheel made by Torrington for Drake.? The only difference being the metal hub in the middle had a different bore size, which I had machined.

Re: Ebay Global Shipping
I don't think there is a big problem with completing the forms.
From my experience, I will stand in line for a half hour just to GET the forms
at my local post office. Then, I'll have to get back in

Re: Drake L4 and the Harbach soft start mod...?
The L4 has a supply similar to the. L4B and L7. ? All I remember off the top of my head is that the 50 watt bleeders are of a different value in the L4.

Re: Pin Removal WAS Re: [DRAKE-RADIO] AC-4 Cinch Jones Drive Pin Removal
I never drive the head of the pin flush with the hood. A slight space is
left to make it easier to extract the pin with pliers or diagonal cutters

Re: TR-4C Volume / RF Gain Control
The wafer I found was NOT from the same manufacturer but it ended up

of design when these were made.
Lots of choices.
