Re: Drake 2-B Tuning Shaft Bent???
I have two good 2B's and a parts unit. Only the parts unit is bent but that was the result of being dropped hard (which is why it's for parts). If the shaft was hardened it would probably shatter or

Re: Drake 2-B Tuning Shaft Bent???
Seems like a part that might be made on a small engine lathe. Not sure if that shaft is hardened and/or ground but maybe not. Thanks, Barry - N4BUQ

Re: Drake 2-B Tuning Shaft Bent???
I¡¯ve seen a bent shaft in my travels. The three sets I¡¯m working on now are all straight. Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Sent from Proton Mail for iOS

Re: 2B S meter
Ken, Try sliding a small "refrigerator" magnet around on the case of the meter. If you can find a spot where it zeros the meter, glue or tape it on there. If it works, it's an easy, no risk fix. Jim,

Re: Drake 2-B Tuning Shaft Bent???
When your ONE job is to deliver a 4" long 1/4" steel shaft without bending it..... :-) I agree, tt's hard to picture it being bent after being installed. John

Re: 2-B 50kHz Alignment Question
Check the values of C50 through C52. It wouldn't be a bad idea to check the resistors around the tuned circuit, as well. Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Sent

Re: 2-B 50kHz Alignment Question
Cranking up the output of the generator helped and I can hear it better on any/all band settings (was only hearing it well on one of the AUX positions but can hear it now regardless of the bandswitch

Yes, the SK is correct, but the sale and mailing of his CD's has been handled by a family member since then, up until now, apparently. I ordered and received some since he became SK. Tom K0SN

Re: Drake 2-B Tuning Shaft Bent???
?I, too, suspect a slightly bent 2-B tuning shaft may be a factory installation of a defective part, occurring at some tiny percentage of production output. I cannot imagine any kind of damage or

Re: 2-B 50kHz Alignment Question
Make sure that you have it on the right pin. I used about a 1V signal and had no trouble. 73, Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Sent from Proton Mail for iOS

Re: Drake 2-B Tuning Shaft Bent???
Funny thing, my 1st 2B had the same problem! I pretty much did the same. Remove the shaft, tap is straight, reinstall and restring.? I wonder if it was a bad run? Pete W1UO
