Hello everyone,
I just got a C line to add to my B line. Love this stuff.
The problem:
The relay in the T-4XC will not switch to transmit.
Background:
The T-4XC was working when I got it, althought the switches needed to be
cleaned; I could tell by the meter bouncing around and by noise made in the
receiver when switching. I cleaned the switches and checked the tubes while I
was at it.
I put it back in line and things were fine for a while. Then, without smoke,
sparks, or any other fanfare, the relay stopped doing its job. This was shortly
after I plugged in a mic.
To eliminate any possible suspicion of the power supply, I tried the AC-4 from
the B line. No chnage (still not working).
If it makes any difference, the serial number is 21,000+ (forgot the last 3
digits).
Question:
Would the relay just up and fail like that? I looked through the archives and
note that relays do need replacing at times. But, before I order one (and thank
for having the Mouser number there in a 1/2007 post), could the cause be
elsewhere?
Thanks,
Jim
