I recently bought a tr4cw on ebay that was listed as
ULTRA MINT Drake TR4CW RIT & MS4 PS4
I should have noted that he said that it may need alignment and made
no reference to output power!
When I powered it up it was dead. Looking at the notes section in
the manual it had had a lightning event that blew the light fuse and
a mickey mouse replacement had been installed.
When I powered up after fixing the fuse it had very low receiver
volume and no S-meter movement on receive other than when moving the
rf gain knob .
Replaced two tubes that had low emission in the receiver front end
which helped the sensitivity and volume. Still no S-meter
indication. Decided to check output power. I am going through my
Collins 312-b4 station control to a B&W 334A watt meter / Dummy
load. They both indicate 125 watts when using the tuning section in
the manual to tune the transmitter.
I welcome any suggestions.
So far I love the transceiver but the manual is a little weak
compared to what we had in the NAVY and my Collins 75S-3c manual.
