Re: [drakelist] IRC .82ohm 2W SPH resistor
The resistor serves as a fuse for the high voltage line going to the linear.? It fails (opens) due to excessive current in the load, NOT problems in the power supply itself.? Ideally, a resistor in this application should be non-inductive, and flameproof, and have a rapid onset failure mode. -Original Message- From: Tom Bowman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue, 6 Nov 2007 1:42 pm Subject: Re: [drakelist] IRC .82ohm 2W SPH resistor Hi, Where is the resistor being used in the circuit?

Re: [drakelist] IRC .82ohm 2W SPH resistor
the reason is not really clear.. but here goes if there is a fault in one or both of the tubes, or a short circuit someplace on the +2700 volt line this resistor acts like a fuse and pops open. the problem is that nasty 2700 volts! as the resistor opens up, the voltage will simply jump over the now carbonized resistor. in fact, it would be more accurate to call it a high voltage fuse instead of a resistor! aside from the voltage it has to carry, it must be able to conduct the necessary current as well. that's why is a special critter... and very hard to come by. perhaps I could purchase some from the one company via my heathkit shop since they won't sell to anyone not in the trade??

And it's quite handy! I have (ahem) tested this function on a 30L1 that I was working on last year. It uses a cluster of 2W carbon comps as the HV fuse. Since I forgot that the Collins has multiple spring loaded interlocks on the B+ when it's out of the cabinet, I was able to fully appreciate the beauty of these resistors . After the smoke cleared, I was able to see that the resistors opened and perhaps saved the transformer from my stupidity! Normal fuses ...the 3AG types, are not rated for HV, and may not clear when overloaded with such HV.

Re: [drakelist] IRC .82ohm 2W SPH resistor
Garey Barrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Mike - The original resistor is a wirewound, flameproof resistor. It actually vaporizes in the event of a short, or even a flashover in one of the final tubes, clearing the short and protecting the power transformer. There are real fuses for this high voltage, but they are hard to find also, and quite expensive. Collins used one in the KWS-1, I believe the part number is HVB-1. Its about six inches long. The one ohm resistor suggested would probably work just fine, if it's wirewound and flameproof. I believe the SPH resistors are the recommended replacement for the BWH which is what the original resistor was. The L-4B runs about 600 mA plate current so the max power dissipated in the resistor would be 600 mW. I don't recall whether the original resistor was a one or two watt, I believe two. 73, Garey - K4OAH St Charles, IL Mike Bryce wrote: the reason is not really clear.. but here goes if there is a fault in one or both of the tubes, or a short circuit someplace on the +2700 volt line this resistor acts like a fuse and pops open. the problem is that nasty 2700 volts! as the resistor opens up, the voltage will simply jump over the now carbonized resistor. fact, it would be more accurate to call it a high voltage fuse instead of a resistor! aside from the voltage it has to carry, it must be able to conduct the necessary current as well. that's why is a special critter... and very hard to come by. perhaps I could purchase some from the one company via my heathkit shop since they won't sell to anyone not in the trade??

The resistor did exactly what it was designed to do when people do something stupid. I can vouch that they vaporize in a hurry :) If someone wants to put together an order, I can get you the information off the list. I don't think this source wants a business/distributor, however there will be a minimum order and I don't remember if $50 or $100. I spent a ridiculous amount of time searching for this item in the last two days and all the info has blended together. Thanks for all the responses and offers to help. I will keep everyone updated on the progress with the 80/160 output issue. Just for clarification,; the .82 ohm resistor went pop as I was putting the amp back together after adjusting the tuning coils. The low output issue was in existence before I let the smoke out of the resistor.

Hi all, OK OK I give...my beat up TR4 All the tubes light upreceives fine...although will need a general alignment. When you go to tune up a TR4 by the book...It will not. No increase in plate current. Does not matter into a dummy load or on an antenna. In any case all of the presets done...pg 19 First para; Go to Function Switch.x-cwsokadvance xmtr gain until bias goes up a tadsok Peak RF tune no difference...on plate current ..plate control no difference. What am I missing..? Only physical difference between it and the schematic I have is that my V4 mixer tube is a 6EJ7 rather than the 6HS6 that I have in my book.The print on the chassis says this is correct. Finals are 6GJ5's.. Suggestions of where to next Carl Hibbard ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
RE: [drakelist] Motorola buying Yaesu!
VE3ES [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- I'm sure Moto's purchase of Yaesu had little or nothing to do with the Ham Line. Look for a selloff or at best an extreme lack of interest in the Ham Gear. Maybe a situation like what Kenmore, err, Kenwood is going thru. Lack of interest by the parent company. Perhaps a certain high tech company in SW Ohio might want to buy out what Motorola probably will cast off?? -- Submissions:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net --

Re: [drakelist] Project stuff and list owner ?
Carl, Check the filaments on the finals. They are all three in parallel and drop the 12.6 volts to 6.3 for the remainder of the tubes. The wires to the filaments are small and brittle. Measure the Bias voltage coming out of the power supply- should be at least -65 and you should be able to reduce it to zero. When you go to X-CW you should have 350 volts on the final screens and when you go to ssb the voltage should go to 650 volts. Be Careful !!! Also the sealed transmit /receive relays are known to go bad. If you need one you can order from Mouser in Texas- the manufacturers part number is R10-EIY4-V2.5K.

Re: [drakelist] TR-4 Problem
Garey Barrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- The final filaments are in series with most of the receiver tube filaments, so if the receiver is working, that is not the problem. The bias supply should be variable from approx -45 to -85V. The screens should have approximately 250 VDC, current limited to less in X-CW. The plate voltage is 650 VDC. IF these voltages are present, and the cathodes are grounded through the 15 ohm cathode resistors, you should be able to adjust the bias for the 0.1A idle current. The system is the same as the T-4XC, just one more tube. Same rules. 73, Garey - K4OAH Boyd Van Horn wrote: Carl, Check the filaments on the finals.

RE : [drakelist] Loose connector fries finals
The same thing can happen with the Hallicrafters HT-44. Luckily, I have added a plate current meter to both of my Halli PS-150-120 power supplies, so I can monitor the plate current. (For some unfathomable reason, Halli decided not to put in a plate current meter on the PS-150-120, necessitating user mods if one wants one!) The cinch connector only did this once in the past 30 years, and I caught it within 5 seconds, cutting the power. Amazingly, no damage to the finals! I know this is off topic re Drake, but thought I would mention that this same risk applies to other tube gear. Howard VE3AXD Robert Ladden [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : Robert Ladden made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Did you know that if the cinch connector becomes loose on the back of a T-4XC, the bias may become disconnected but the plate voltage can remain? I learned that the hard way. The plates don't just glow red, they become bright orange very quickly. When I saw that I hit the switch on the power strip, not knowing what the problem was yet. After that, the T-4XC would only put out about half power (which is better than expected). Fortunately, I had a spare set of 6JB6's and was back on the air with full power quickly. The frustrating part is that I did the AC-4R upgrade to prevent such a problem. The lesson is to check the cinch connector frequently. 73, Bob WW3QB -- Submissions:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net -- - Combattez les méchants pourriels...

Greetings all, There is no mystery about this. All you need is $6.25 plus shipping and you can buy your very own lifetime supply (21 X 24 inch sheet) of Lee Filters #172 which is also known as Lagoon Blue. Simply go towww.filmtools.comThere is no minumum order and they sell to anyone. Orders are shipped the next day. The usual disclaimers apply. Now I have to blow off some steam: I subscribe to many reflectors. Every day I see folks looking for stuff. Some appear to be asking for freebees and others for difficult to find items. It appears that many are too lazy to do some very basic research to find what they are looking for and expect someone to do the work for them. Why not let your fingers do the walking? Researching on the web is certainly not brain surgery and you will be amazed what you will find with virtually no effort! I suppose now I will spend the next several days getting flamed and looking at endless threads on the subject. I'm done. 73, John, W4AWM ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
