Re: Aligning the TR7
I would wait until the correct tools arrive before adjusting any transformers or inductors. The cores are fairly delicate. 73, Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

Re: NOS TR-4Cw RIT
I have shipped TR-4¡¯s. They all weigh the same and are the same physical size. I can assure you that shipping will cost in excess of $25 just for the shipping charges. Like everything else, the cost

2-B Gain Setting
For setting the receiver gain in a 2-B, the manual states to zero the S-Meter. Is that supposed to be "1" on the dial? I know 0 != 1, but the meter doesn't have a zero on it. Is it possible that zero

Re: Aligning the TR7
That should be good enough. It's a digital circuit so it either works or not. If it locks properly across all bands I wouldn't bother. 73 -Jim NU0C "jerry-KF6VB" <jerry@...> wrote:

Re: Drake 7 Series Cabinet Paint
I also have gotten great results with a roller on Drake and Heath radios that did not have a smooth satin finish. The late TR7¡¯s had black cases anyway so it¡¯s pretty authentic to use satin black

Re: TR4-CW Service Bulletin
Interestingly, Drake used the 6FQ7 in their later TR-4C¡¯s and T-4XC¡¯s. I have not done any research on new tube availability and prices as they were in the 1970s. It could well be that the
