You’re
welcome to try and build this turkey. It’s a turkey because several
critical components are no-longer available. I was going to build 2 units.
Whenever I get desperate enough this winter, I’ll finish one of them. I
had a whole list of substitutes on this project. The shaft encoder is one. Get
in touch with the author of the article for a more complete list of
substitutions.

Subject: [drakelist] I want to
build the R-4C 'Crystal Eliminator' Update Please!
Hi all Drake folks,
A while back there was a lot of issues / discussions about the article and
building of the Drake Crystal lininator by Steven Hageman.
I wan to either buy one of these or build one myself...
Two things:
1) I talked with the FAR Circuits guy today at the Ft. Wayne, IN hamfest.
I asked him about the poor quality boards some have spoken about, he said 'YES'
the first ones were poor, and he has redone the boards so they are good now
(No, they still don't have through holes plated) HE SAID ANYONE THAT HAS THE
OLD BOARD, PLEASE LET HIM KNOW AND HE WILL REPLACE IT FREE!
2) I beleive there was one component in the parts list that was no longer
available (The encoder?) Has anyone found a direct replacement or 'What
do we do?'
He said if he knew the details of the encoder operation (I told him I thought
that was the no longer available part) he may be able to find a way to do it
with other parts.
He has 'kits' available this week end for $46.
PLease update me on the status of this 'poject'
73,
Lee, KC9CDT
