Re: [Drakelist] The Heathkit Shop
I made a mistake with regard to the Heathkit Shop I had instead ordered from from Harbach. Sometimes the effects of a stroke are more evident than others. Sorry if this caused any confusion.___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist

[Drakelist] TR-4 issues
I have been given a TR-4 that a young ham had been attempting to replace the power switch/volume control and gain control. He thinks he rewired it wrong initially because prior to this attempt he states that the radio had a great deal of volume and now even with the control at max it is acting as if it is barely turned on. Not being all that great at troubleshooting would someone venture a guess as you what he may have done wrong. If we are to assume the worst case scenario I would assume that is the 120volt going into the audio section where would you suggest looking? I am doing this to learn more about troubleshooting as well as the young fellow was afraid someone would make fun of him hear. I assured him that it would be in good fun if anyone did.

[Drakelist] What does Collector Condition mean to you
Say a ham has an T4XC transmitter and matching R4C receiver that he states in his ad they are in Collector Condition. So what do you picture in your mind when you read an ad using those words? ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist

[Drakelist] Question for the group
I purchased a nice TR4 with NB for a fellow and he also tossed in two other complete non-working TR4's and an extra AC-4 and a power supply made from a Heathkit power supply and an extra RV-4. One of the non-working radios has had the chassis butchered where someone drilled a hole in the side of it and installed a toggle switch to turn the radio on and off when the switch failed. The other radio is in better shape but the receive is barely audible. The repair of the radio is out of pay grade and really not wanting to spends 50 to 100 dollars to be told it is junk. I should add both radios have the wired NB in them. The question is would I be better off trying to sell the 2 radio as complete units or piece them out and sell them for parts?

[Drakelist] Blue LED Bulbs for Drakes
First I want to say I am sorry if this upsets the person that is making and selling the blue LED bulbs on Ebay and other web sites. I just can't afford to pay $30.00 plus shipping for 2 bulbs. So I went looking for a different source and I found one that was much cheaper. The company sells #47 Blue (or other color) LED bulbs. The best thing is the price... $1.58 each. The worked perfect on the main dial but were not quite bright enough for the meters until I took the reflector off and scrubbed it white again. Now for $3.18 I can but the blue bulbs in the TR-4 or even opt for red since I ordered some of them and they look very nice as well.

[Drakelist] Want to buy...
Hi, If anyone has a set of T4anything and R4anything that they want to sell please email me and let me know what you need for them. I do not need a power supply and the cases do not have to be in flawless conditions since I can just repaint them. If you don't have those perhaps you have a TR4 or TR4C or CW that you would like to part with. I would be interested in either the pair of radios or a TR4, TR4C or TR4CW. Thanks Kevin Elliott I am about ready to get rid of my Kenwood TS-2000 and get all tube radios, the sound quality of my TR4 finds me using it far more than my 2000. ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
[Drakelist] Question about the 9MC filters
I have been reading all of the posts in the new Drake archive and the old Drake archive trying to learn as much as I can about my TR4. To you old pros this will be a rookie question, but I am of the belief that if you don't ask you don't learn. Okay I have read where it has been said that you can use a couple of different ways to set C130 correctly. One being use a digital receiver and listening for the matching null and the one that I want to ask about is using a scope to adjust them. Where will the scope probe be connected to read this information or is it indirectly connected with a loop of wire around the oscillator tube to see the nulls. I got the Great service CD and I love it and will be going through it and digesting all I can.

[Drakelist] Question regarding TR4
While I wait for my repair CDs to arrive I have found something I need some information on. I am in the process of retubing the TR4 I have and I went down the list of tubes in the voltage chart and ordered all of the tubes. That I think is my first mistake because when I took the cover off and got ready to install the tubes the first one was a 6BZ6 tube I come to find out there are none in use on this particular radio. Am I safe to assume that they made a revision either before this radio or afterwards and went to the 12BA6 tubes which I am finding are getting hard to find. My radio shows that tubes V13, V12 and V11 are all 12BA6 and it has arrows pointing to all three tubes. The serial number on the radio is 23567 so if anyone can tell me what year that is I would appreciate it.

[Drakelist] Looking to make a trade for a nice TR4
I have post an ad on QST.com where I have listed an Oak Hill Research OHR 500, which is a 5-band QRP tranciever with an add-on digital display which can be used on numerous radio besides the OHR-500. The radio has a built in keyer, adjustable power from 0 ~ full power, switchable filter and AGC. The radio and the digital display are mint condition and the radio in kit form sold for $359.00 and the display for $100.00. I would like to trade the radio and digital display for a nice TR-4 or TR-4C, or CW. No tech specials or fixer uppers please. Link to photograph http://swap.qth.com/segamida/883877.jpg I really don't need a power supply so you can deduct the cost of it and put the value of what it is worth towards offering a better TR-4 Contact me at kg...@yahoo.com ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist

[Drakelist] What is this system worth
I have these items that I think I may get rid of since I am running out of space and was curious what they would be worth and yes I know the markets varies by how bad someone wants it. I just need a ballpark price where I will not be giving it away. Drake TR-4 w/ NB AC-4 with Heathkit Store Re-build kit installed MS-4 speaker cabinet RV-4 Remote VFO MN-4 Match Box Conditions on all items is 8.5 to 9 except for the MS-4 which needs the grill repainted is about an 8.

[Drakelist] TR4 and SB-200 Question
I have just recently purchased an extremely nice SB-200 with all of the Harbach mods installed, my question is this. With all of the mods installed which are mainly aimed at allowing the SB-200 to play better with today solid-state rigs, do these mods, in particular the Soft-Key mod now prohibit me from using my Drake TR-4 with the amplifier? I do realize one of my major concerns it to not overdrive the amp with the TR-4. After reading the suggestion which was posted a week or so back I think I may use the T-connector and a 100-watt dummy load setup to help solve the over driving problem. I am wondering if I should just use the ALC line and perhaps a foot switch on the amp. Any suggestions or feedback is appreciated. 73, Kevin - KG0MN E-mail message checked by Spyware Doctor (7.0.0.514) Database version: 6.14140 http://www.pctools.com/en/spyware-doctor-antivirus/ image001.gif___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
