Richard,
A replacement for the Drake blue filter material can be purchased from
theater supply houses. The material is known as lighting gel and is available
in numerous colors. Its thinner than what Drake used but can be doubled up. It
can be purchased in large sheets and cut as required. I

Is blue dial filter material no longer available from Steve, KG9BV? I need
a set myself. My understanding is that WA9TGT stopped supply the material a

Both 'should' be blue. The blue filter for the meter is a narrow strip,
and the bulb is right up against it, causing it to fade much quicker

Charles,
There is a narrow blue filter strip wrapped around the very top of the S
meter. The area closest to the lamp always fades to clear. Sometimes just
flipping the blue strip around will be enough if you do not have any filter
material.

Would anyone have an extra 2-NT final tank available, or a junker parts rig
with
an intact tank? I have one that after it shipped to me a couple years ago, had
been cranked in shipping so bad the coil base ceramic fractured. It will
probably still work, but am just checking.
