I searched Google and found the WB4HF website. Thanks for have me as a part of what I feel is the prime part of Ham Radio.
What a blessing this website is to me now. I am presently reading about the refurbishing portion of the planning stages. I dont see any recommended soaps, chemicals or cleansers. It does say to 'wash' the transceiver. Man does that make me nervous. Is that what it really means. 'Put it in the dishwasher' or is that a collector's term for something else? I have posted on my website pictures of my 'new to me' TR-3. A good friend of mine just gave it to me after it had sat dormant for years. All the cords are there and it is more than likely in working condition. It needs a little TLC as far as knocking the dust off of the top on the inside of the TR-3. I am not sure whether to just use some soap and water and let it dry real good or how to clean it up. Wont that hurt the tuning slugs? The underside of the transceiver looks brand spanking new, just the top is a bit messy. The power supply I plan on bringing up slowly over a weeks time using a Variac and each day increasing the voltage a little to warm the caps up a bit before full usage. Anyone with experience or ideas on refurbishing, please give it a look and make suggestions offline on the best way for me to proceed with the cleaning phase. http://www.myamericanaerial.com/station/drakerefurbish/ 73 fer nw, Bob AD5VJ _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
