MIKE BRYCE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterence to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- the pcbs for the new drake ac-4 power supply are now in stock.
a very limited number of first run kits will be shipping within a week. (waiting on first run of parts) here's some more information on the project: That old Drake AC4 getting a little rough around the edges? Can�t locate those high voltage capacitors without taking out a bank loan? Well then perhaps the solution is to install the new AC4R upgrade pc board. No, it�s not from Drake, and no Drake did not use a pc board in their original AC4 design. Here�s what we�ve done for the AC4R upgrade: � Increase all the silicon diode ratings to 1.5 amp @ 1000 volts � Increase high voltage rating of the electrolytic capacitors � Increase wattage of the bleeder resistors � Mounted the bleeder resistors, bias resistors and R3 on to the pc board (original bias pot still used) � All resistors are flameproof 1 watt � Resistor R3 is now rated at 10 watts instead of the original 5 watts � With the exception of the bias set trimmer, all parts mount on a single PC board � No holes to drill. � Easy to assemble with complete assembly instructions � PC board is double sided with plated through holes. Solder mask on both sides and component silk screen on both sides. Prices: The pc board only is $15 +$4 shipping A complete kit of parts, including the pc board and all board mounted components is $65+ $4 shipping While the AC4R is an easy to build project, there are a lot of wires that must be cut, moved and reconnected to the new pc board. The project is not for the faint of heart. So I will be offering these two options. Options: 1. For those that don�t have the time, or simply can�t see anymore to assemble the pc board, we will stuff the board for an additional $10. 2. And for those that like messing with high voltage or hot soldering irons, we will assemble, install and test your AC4 for an additional $45 above the kit price. Customer to pay for shipping both ways for the AC4 supply. you can call me toll free to order your pcb or kit at 1 888 476 5279 I am in the office from 10am to 2 pm.
