"Terrell Hamilton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I had the same problem recently, Howard - I found a pinout in one of the electronics catalogs that are always being sent to me. I'll see if I can hunt it up again for you. Terry K7WLD

It has a Jones female plug hanging from it. Wonder if someone could tell me how to count the pins and what I should find on each one? Would like to know that it's right before I hook it up. Thanks lots. 73, Howard, WA9RYF ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Pilant" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 8:32 PM Subject: Re: [drakelist] TR-3 refurbishing : : Mark Pilant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang : ---------------------------------------------------------------------- : Well, it seems there is light at the end of the tunnel. : : : Here's what I've done: : : 1) Cleaned up the grime and dust using Q-tips and alcohol. : 2) Applied DeoxIT to all switch contacts, tube sockets, and : the T/R relay. : 3) Checked all the tubes on my TV-7A to make sure there were : not any obvious problems. : 4) Checked all resistance measurements against the table in : the TR-3 manual.
