Garey, I had tried a few times to contact Martin Sole, HS0ZED about his noise blanker for the R4C on his web page at http://www.qsl.net/hs0zed/drake/r4cnb.html but so far have never been able to get in touch with him or at least get a reply but he apparently had pc boards for the R4C noise blanker at one time. I do not know how much that helps with the 34PNB Blanker but if they are the same then it might be one avenue to get or make replacements. He does have a picture of his pc board at http://www.qsl.net/hs0zed/drake/r4cnb.html and http://www.qsl.net/hs0zed/drake/R4CNB1b.jpg and http://www.qsl.net/hs0zed/drake/R4CNB1a.jpg .
Martin used to hang out on this reflector and may still be here. Thank you.

There is also a hi-res color photo of the 34-PNB board (both sides) with the transistors id'd and a table of voltages, along. The 34-NB manual has the circuit and Drake's photo of the component side and installation procedure in a TR-4. The circuit is the same in all of them, and the basic circuit topology is the same all the way back to the 9-NB. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 4-B, C-Line & TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs <www.k4oah.com> Ron wrote: > Pete, > I gave Garey a copy of the 34NB kit that Drake sold for wired install to the > TR3 and early TR4s.
