Re: R4B AVC issue
Now is the time, if you either have a spare set or have another R-4B, to swap every tube out at the same time (¡°shotgunning¡±). I had an R-4B that was vexing me to no end until I replaced all the

When unpowered, S1+a hair, so very close to zero. Have checked the following resistors so fare... Just FYI, nothing more.. R9 1.5K** Board 9 OK R8 220K** Chassis Right Side -R OK R12 1.5k**Board 9 OK

Re: R4B AVC issue
Yes, I have been bit by one of the meter terminals. It hurts :-). This circuit is at around 150V potential. Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Sent from [Proton

Re: R4B AVC issue
I¡¯m not sure if the meter¡¯s resistance/current rating. Do start with a large series resistance when testing. I had not considered that the meter itself could be at fault. Where does the needle

Re: Drake L7 Power output
Thanks Jim and Paul, That's impressive.? I wonder what finally gave up the ghost....rig or tube? Great idea for an ad and getting 1600 entries meant people were paying attention. John

Re: Latest problem with RV-75
OK, so that means that your TR7 is accurate to 100 KHz +/- 1 count. Which means that when your digital display reads for example 14200.0 your actual frequency can be anywhere between 14200.000 and

Re: R4B AVC issue
Hi Michael More safety: Let the Drake unlugged power plug and cable be visible to you, on your workbench, while you work on the Drake. (Then it be much harder to get an accidently electric shock.) --

Re: Latest problem with RV-75
Is the frequency calibration of your TR7 accurate? The RV75 assumes it is connected to a TR7 that is calibrated to spec. It doesn't know one way or the other. 5-5.10? I don't quite understand what you

As I reported, I had to replace one of the Optical Interrupters (I replaced both) and then started a full adjustment. Something went wrong and now the unit is off by 1khz. Instead of xx250.0 when you
