Re: Drake R-4B build quality question
The Drake builds that I have seen have been very good. But having been both a line tech and a customer service tech at electronics manufacturers I can say that assemblers do have bad days, they often

Re: Drake repair service
Interesting video but his glitch diode configuration has me puzzled. He complains (rightly so) that the B- was returned to the chassis but connects a reversed diode pair in which one of the diodes

Re: Replacement Male connector for 2BQ?
The Cinch 5AB2 connector? Unless your original is broken it should be re-usable I would think. Wolf VK3WY may still have some. /g/DRAKE-RADIO/message/32424 These were common in

Re: Drake R-4B build quality question
I have found unsoldered wires a couple of times in old General Radio instruments. Same thing, wrapped but never soldered. Evidently worked well enough to get through QC and work for many years.

Both Drake and TenTec had an amazing number of added grounds (the PTO for example) added to solve problems as they presented themselves. TenTec even applied double sided acrylic foam tape to various

Re: Drake R-4B build quality question
I have never seen a poorly built Drake radio. However, I had an interesting build quality issue in a 1951 Philco TV set. I did a full recap job on it but still no high voltage. It did not take me too

Drake R-4B build quality question
I got in a Drake R-4B (S/N 89xx) for repair this week that I consider to have quite poor build quality. I guess the assembler was having a bad day when he built this one. I have found, so far: 1)

Re: TR-7 Odd 40M Parasitic
Welp...I fixed the symptom but don't know what the actual problem is. I bypassed my MN2700 tuner and ran the ladder line to my little MFJ Versa-Tuner II (that I can't seem to get rid of) and I can
