Re: T-4XC Final Cathode Resistors
One watt is enough. Modern carbon film will do fine, they do not drift. Metal film will also do fine. I think Garry used to recommend oxide coated film. Since the drop is part of the measurement of

Re: T-4XC Final Cathode Resistors
Carbon film will run at red heat without damage. I spent some of my wasted youth working for a resistor manufacturer. We made established reliability metal film and mil spec carbon film resistors.

Re: T-4XC Final Cathode Resistors
In general I'd say use metal film for everything. In this case, maybe consider carbon film and don't overdo the power rating. If the resistor burns out it might just save the tube; metal film can

Re: Drake TR-7 - Noisy transmitter
It is exactly as stated. The adjustment is an old school ceramic trimmer cap conveniently placed on the board in line with the key jack on the rear panel. Since you need key down CW to hear the side

T-4XC Final Cathode Resistors
After updating my AC-4, I fired up the T-4XC and am dealing with all of the little usual issues after being dormant for a quarter century. Checked the final Cathode resistors which are 15ohm/1Watt.

Re: Wanted Manual for AC4R power supply upgrade.
Isn't it on line somewhere? I have done two of the Heathkit Shop upgrades but think I got only an instruction sheet with them. I don't think he has changed the circuit any. Or have I missed something?

I bought the one on eBay with the wires attached and just did my second upgrade. Total time 90 minutes. Attaching the new boards to the chassis took half that time. Remember to tag each wire that you

Re: Drake TR-7 - Noisy transmitter
Almost one year since I parked the TR7 with the 'crackly audio' transmitter. How time flies! With the TR4310 now fixed, it was time to finish the TR7. Oddly, I had a couple of contacts on it with no
