Re: L4B on 17m and 12m
I've used my L4B on 17 and 12 meters using both SSB and digital modes using low plate voltage.? On 17 meters with the bandswitch set to 15 meters and about 50 watts drive I get about 500 watts out.?

And the TR7 bushing, just to mess things up, is 5/8¡± I have found that whatever Drake used in the 7 (and possibly the TR5) was softer. The bushings I have removed from a couple of them were

Re: R4C rubber dial bushing
The original suggestion that I saw years ago cited heater hose, which is what I used. It works well also and I still have enough for several more radios. "Floyd - K8AC via groups.io"

R4C rubber dial bushing
My R4C dial scales started slipping today and I checked out the rubber bushing because of other posts here.? Sure enough, the bushing was hard as a rock.? I was able to find a suitable rubber hose
