Re: [drakelist] R4C RF Gain Tab Removal
Bob The tab is soldered to a brass bushing that is pushed on over the control shaft, just a friction fit. They can be stuborn but will pull off. Place some heavy cardboard near the shaft to protect the front panel and pry it off with a screwdriver. 73, Gary
Re: [drakelist] R4C RF Gain Tab Removal
Garey Barrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Bob - It is just a press fit over the pot shaft and will come off with persuasion. I use a screwdriver, placing the end against the back of the tube and pry gently against the pot bushing. There is probably a little corrosion, and once it moves slightly it should come right off. If really stubborn, a drop or two of penetrating oil should loosen it up. But it does slide off! 73, Garey - K4OAH Atlanta Drake C-Line Service Manual http://www.k4oah.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Folks, I need to remove an R4C front panel to get to the main tuning mechanism for repairs. Haven't had to do that before. Question: The tab for the RF gain seems to be soldered to the outer shaft on the potentiometer. The knob comes off but the RF control tab does not. Do I really have to unsolder the tab to get it off or am I missing something? Wonder if some previous owner had it come lose and decided solder was the way to keep it on! Comments most welcome.

Re: [drakelist] TR7 cold start problem
Don and Diana Cunningham [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Floyd, This sounds like the famous dirty connections on the DR-7 board that most of us have run into. Sometimes you only have to take the screw out of the board, and move it up and down some to clean the contacts, but I usually had to take the DR-7 out and put some DeOxit on the pins and in the socket to clean the contacts enough to make this stop. Some have said they found cold solder joints on that plug (actually soldered from the bottom of the motherboard, as I remember, but I have not found that here. The other half of the plug would solder from the DR-7 board itself. If that's not TOO confusing, hope it helps your problem! 73, Don, WB5HAK -- Submissions:drakelist@www.zerobeat.net Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net --

Re: [drakelist] TR7 replacement DF4NW LED assembly sold by W2ENY
Jim Pruitt [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- or you can go to: http://members.bellatlantic.net/vze3rys4/TR7_Display/ and buy the DF4NW replacement LED display for a fixed price plus shipping. This is not a replacement for the DR7. It is a replacement for the 6 LED's used in the DR7 since the original 2 digit and 4 digit LED's that made up the display in the original DR7 are no longer available. If you have one or more bad digits or segments in the original LED's then this will fix (replace them). I purchased one and they work very well but your mileage may vary. I have no connection with either DF4NW or W2ENY, just a satisfied customer.
