The cosmetic stuff was for the case, needed a touch up on the paint on
the case. Didn't touch any of the tubes or electronics, just pulled the
case off and touched up the paint while I was also working on my RV-4C.
Rig was working perfectly before I pulled it out of the shack. 180+
watts out on 40/80 and slightly less than that on the other bands.
As to the RF choke, interested in RFC13 in particular. I have it
patched together and just need to replace it one of these days. A lead
broke when I was doing some relay maintenance about a year ago and I
patched it together. Been running fine ever since, but thought I might
get a replacement on hand in case I need one.

Why would you want to know about the chokes? There are more then one
type in the radio. One is in the final plate lead or are you talking
about the small ones or all of them? Is there more to this story?
You need to give more information for help. Such as, how did it work
prior to your cosmetic maintenance. If all you did was cosmetic stuff
and it worked before you worked on it, I would suspect something
simple such as the wrong tube in the wrong socket, or is the same tube
in it's same socket?

No, hasn't been cleaned like that in many years. I should mention
the maintenance I was doing was cosmetic, not electrical/mechanical.

Did you spray a lot of some sort of spray cleaner on the switch
contacts and all over the tube socket pins? If you did, you
could have set up leakage paths over insulation.

Subject: [Drakelist] TR-4C issues
Was just putting my TR-4C back in service after having done some
minor maintenance on it, now I am having some issues and need
some assistance.
Here are the symptoms:
was tuning it up on 40m and could only get a maximum of about 80
watts out of it. I started going to different bands to check
the output, on 80m I was getting about 150 watts out when the
relay started oscillating in and out of transmit. Now it
oscillates on all bands. Tried adjusting the vox controls and
it does vary the oscillation, but not enough to stop it in the
on position.. I don't have a spare 6EV7 for V19 (will have to
get one on order), is this simply a VOX/RELAY problem, or should
I be looking for something else?
This TR-4C is s/n 39366.
Also, is there a good source for the RF chokes?
Thanks,
Loren - WA3WZR
