Re: [Drakelist] Shure 444D Microphone

Hi Terry: I didn.t open mine up, but I have the original box and datasheet for my black 44D. There is no cap shown on the wiring diagram. WHite from the connector goes to the ptt switch and then to the impedance switch as yellow, then either the black or red to the cartridge. The white

Re: [Drakelist] Tube Substitute

Ted - Why do you say it's failed? They're pretty tough tubes, and relay problems are usually somewhere else. There are several subs that 'work', but none is a good as the 6EV7. The 6EV7 is becoming expensive, ($10,) but so are all the common subs. The 6AQ8 will work with the addition of

Re: [Drakelist] Value of Inductor L5 in the T4B/T4XB

2011-10-13 Thread Garey Barrell
Pete - I haven't measured one yet, but it is identical to L6 on the next wafer up. It is the increment coil from 80M to 160M. If L5 is damaged by overcurrent, the ferrite core may have been permanently changed, causing the same number of turns as L6 to be considerably less inductance.

[Drakelist] TR-7a crystal problem-To Jim Shorney

2011-10-13 Thread Ron Ries
Jim, I found someone had already tweaked the +10 up to 10.4V to try and compensate for the problem. When I got the radio the xtal was already about 9KHz away from the passband skirt at 10.4V and only muffled noises could be heard with the pseudo AM filter setting. Maybe if I tweaked it up to

I've never tried this, but couldn't you just clip the leads off of a cap or resistor from your junk box and solder them on to the end caps of a regular 8a fuse. You would certainly reflow the inside connection but as long as you still have continuity when your done, no harm no foul. I wouldn't

Bob, I would be concerned that the heat would clear the fuse element, or at least make it more prone to clearing at reduced current. 73, Bob AD3K From: drakelist-boun...@zerobeat.net [mailto:drakelist-boun...@zerobeat.net] On Behalf Of Robert Fish Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2011 2:01

Gary, You could try to use an in-line fuse holder. You will have to dress the wiring a little differently. These should be available, even at Rat Shack. Kurt From: k...@msn.com To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2011 10:24:00 -0700 Subject: [Drakelist] Drale Fuse

Gary - The other alternative is to mount one of the little single fuse blocks that mounts with a single hole. Then takes regular fuses. But unless you have a short on the filament line you should never blow another one. 73, Garey - K4OAH St Charles, IL Drake 2-B, 2-C/2-NT, 4-A, 4-B,

I had that fuse go up in my TR3 back in the 80s. I never found a cause. I replaced it, and it ran fine until I sold it several years back. --- On Thu, 10/13/11, Garey Barrell k4...@mindspring.com wrote: From: Garey Barrell k4...@mindspring.com Subject: Re: [Drakelist] Drale Fuse To: GARY
