Re: Drake R-4B Bottom Views
My R-4B isn't real early, S/N 8825 but it doesn't have the board that's in Thomas's receiver. It seems to connect largely to board 3 in Garey's manual. The product detector AVC/S-Meter board. I don't

Re: Drake R-4B Bottom Views
I have looked at the B Line Service Manual by Garey, K4OAH (SK) and there is no board shown there in that location. Thinking that this could be a very early version, I looked at the 11-tube R-4A

FS Hayseed re-cap kit for R-4C
I have a complete re-cap kit for the R-4C that I bought from Hayseed a couple of years ago. I've decided not to use it as the caps in my R-4C are okay. This kit sells now for $78.95 plus shipping.

Re: TR switching
*** There are two bus wires that go everywhere. One is 0V on receive, and -15V on transmit. The other is zero volts on transmit and -15V on receive. Zero volts turns stuff on, and -15V turns stuff

Re: Using a 2B in a vintage station.

Re: TR switching
