Re: TR-3 No Transmit
I will clean all the tube pins and check the voltages and resistances in the tables. I also noticed the 12AX7A V17 is extremely hot, so I'll check it again - it serves as audio amp and a TX function I

Re: R-4C tuning problem
Yep. Needs a new bushing. The exact part is Unobtainium but you can make one from a piece of 1/4¡± fuel hose. Cut to the same length as the bushing and ensure the Ends are square or you¡¯ll see the

Re: TR-3 No Transmit
Hmmm. Did you already say that you¡¯ve cleaned the tube Pins and switches? Chances are that it¡¯s not a filter, because you¡¯re getting nothing in either sideband, and I was looking to see if one

Re: Dumb question of the day.
Paul, you may already know this, but the 8060A has a special high impedance mode for DC voltage measurements. However, it only works in 2V and 200mv ranges. To put it in high impedance mode, you

R-4C tuning problem
Hi: I am new to this group. I acquired some Drake equipment from the estate of a sk. Starting with the receiver (R-4C) I noticed the two plastic discs with the freq markings don't move when you turn

Re: Soft Rubber Eqp't Feet
Glenn, thanks for the pointer. But that still leaves me in my current conundrum. I can't tell if they will work just by looking at a web page. I was hoping to hear from somebody who had already

Re: Soft Rubber Eqp't Feet
Not sure if it has been mentioned, but I've used a variety of styles for "rubber feet" and find that glueing a small piece of felt on the bottom of each foot gives cushioning and avoids scratching

Re: Soft Rubber Eqp't Feet
Hi Lyndon Another solution is to use supermagnets. Glue or?screw 4 supermagnet on the key plate - and 4 on the table - they and a magnetic material could all be glued or screwed into the key plate

Hi Lyndon Have a look her - there is material box e.g. "rubber, neoprene", "rubber, silicone", "silicone" - and there is a "mounting type" box e.g. "screw mount":

Re: Soft Rubber Eqp't Feet
Vibroplex sells feet for their keys. There's no reason why they wouldn't work on other brands. I replaced the feet on my Standard Iambic a few years ago and it has been fine. I've had that key since
