Re: Drake 2-AQ Q-Multiplier
Hi David, Thank you for your response. Do you have either the 2-AQ or 2-BQ Q-Multiplier parts I would be interested in the Q-Multiplier complete chassis and interconnecting cable. There is no

TR-7 regulator mounting mods?
I've been working the TR-7A hard during this weekend's ARRL CW DX contest, and I'm picking up a very high-pitched hash/whine in the headphones now. I'm assuming that it's the infamous C2108 cap which

Re: Drake L4-B no Grid Current.
Jake; As promised, here's the simplified schematic of the L4-B RF Deck, with the ESL4-4B mod installed. Only one of the 3-500Zs is shown. The DC Plate Current path is from the "HV" terminal to the "HV

Re: Drake 2-AQ Q-Multiplier
Let me know if you need parts as I have a large selection of new Drake parts for the 2B. David Assaf III W5XU VP8RXU [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Drake L4-B no Grid Current.
Jake; I¡¯m away from home right now, but I made a simplified schematic of the RF Deck with the ESL4-4B mod installed, that I believe will make all things clear to you. I¡¯ll send it to you when I

Drake 2-AQ Q-Multiplier
I was given a Drake 2B receiver that works okay. I performed the 2B rcvr alignment steps that went okay. I picked up a 2-AQ Q-Multiplier on eBay but it didn't appear to work. I found the Q-Multi

Re: Drake L4-B no Grid Current.
So, if I unsolder the yellow CT wire and measure the voltage on it to the chassis ground, should I show the voltage, or is there another part in the circuit that I must find to complete it to see the

Re: Drake L4-B no Grid Current.
Jake; The 3-500Z has the filament and cathode combined into one physical structure. To keep currents balanced across this combined structure throughout the AC cycle of filament-heating current, it is

Re: R-4B C173
Well, when I connected my audio-generator to R128, to check the audio amplification, I noticed that R137 was ->VERY<- hot. The result of a voltage measurement on the leg of R137 towards C173 etc.

Re: Drake L4-B no Grid Current.
That would be the Drake equivalent of the old "put a penny in the fuse box" trick. "Mark N9EA via groups.io" <markn9ea@...> wrote: -- 73 -Jim NU0C

Re: R-4B C173
I¡¯m surprised you didn¡¯t get a lot of smoke and odour from that tantalum cap. In the day, tantalum caps were much smaller than their electrolytic counterparts. Today, using an electrolytic cap is

Re: Drake L4-B no Grid Current.
I thought this group would appreciate this photo of my amp project. If that .82 ohm HV resistor gives you problems, just add a pc of 12ga THHN. Mark N9EA [email protected]> wrote:
