Merry Christmas Evan and everyone else ! Still having fun with the Drakes, both using them and working on them. Couple years ago I got an R4B and stuck the R4A on the shelf, but for a Saturday project tried to fire up the R4A but ran into some problems, but it's a fun project figuring out what ha

Hi Lee... Congrats on finding the problem! Franklin Electric ought to be responsive to the problem, especially if you remind them that the FCC takes a dim view of such things from un-intentional radiators. And since it is a new installation, there might even be some warranty recourse for you.

Hi Kevin: THe solution most seen recommended is to make up a plug using some hobby copper tubing and a small pc of plexiglass. But that is perhaps not possible with limited vision. The simplest is to just forget the connector and run a pair of wires into the AC4..OR pick those points up at
