Re: L75 amplifier /TR-7
The L7 uses a 75K pot in series with a 22K resistor. The L4B is 100K with no series resistor. I think your resistor change is still a good idea. Adding a TVS diode with a breakdown rating greater than

Re: L75 amplifier /TR-7
As a side note with an unclear memory, the ALC circuit in the L4B is different than the one in the L7. ?Failure of that 5K 7 watt resistor (which should be replaced with a 10-20 watt style) will

Re: Drake L7 10m modification

Re: Drake L7 10m modification
They also used a filter to prevent 11 meter operation in some of the amps. I don't know if they were the earlier L7's or the later ones? Merry Christmas to all and happy holidays. Tim WB8UHZ

Re: L75 amplifier /TR-7
It shouldn't unless your Fluke has a metal case. There is no return path with a non-metallic enclosure so both you and the meter should be OK. What could cause damage would be the cold end resistor
