Greetings to all, 40 was in bad shape at net time as I was not able to hear anyone! Yikes. Not sure if there even was a net today. A few signals up and down from 7238 but mostly a flat line on the band scope at 2000 GMT. The Findlay Hamfest was a nice weekend outing. The weather was outstanding. I thought the attendance was down a bit, this seems to be the trend the last few years of all the Hamfest I go to, Dayton included. I guess it is easier to go on-line to look or list for that item. I still enjoy seeing old friends and making new ones and especially being able to see all the goodies first hand still makes the trip worth while. On the Drake front there was not too many things to see, I noticed 2 TR-7's, one T-4XC with AC-4/MS-4 ( I'll bet someone got the R-4C, hi) a TR-3 with RV-3, a TR-4C and a PS-75. I'm sure missed some of the others. I did see Mark WB0IQK with a smile on his face, perhaps he found a few good deals. It is a nice hour and 45 min trip for me down 224 from Vermilion. 2-meters and 440 were hot on the way over to Findlay. I could bring up the Hometown UHF Repeater all the way to my parking spot at the Hamfest. Normally its a moot point after 20 miles or so.

RE: [drakelist] tr7 update
Ronald Baker [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Don, before you rewind the transformer, make sure the core half's that fit together are tightly secured around the transformer windings. Both half's are held in place with a tie wraps. I've seen this get a little loose and negative voltage falls back. If this is the problem, taking your figures and squeeze the core half's together, the voltage comes back. If this is the case just tighten the core half's. Ron Ron Baker / WB4HFN Visit my Website: www.wb4hfn.com Vintage Drake Collins -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of don Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2005 7:13 PM To: Drakelist; don Subject: [drakelist] tr7 update I got the 3n204 replaced, and put it all back together, and began to get some response. So I thought I would start trying the alignment procedure once again. While adjusting the agc pot to set the s-meter, there was very little change in level, and nowhere enough to correctly cal the s-meter. After checking the schematic, I figured I would check the easiest things first, which in this case there is 4 diodes, 1n4148's three of these had very high resistance, but otherwise good. I changed them out, re-check the agc level, and now have almost too much!! At this point, I realized that as hacked-up as this radio is, I really should start at the begining. I check the PS7, voltage, ripple, all was great, couldn't be better. I then go to the power regulator board. what a mess!!! I removed several diy mods, replaced caps with ones of the correct values, etc. Now, all voltages and pb voltage adjustments off this board are good, EXCEPT, the neg 5v. I think there is a couple of shorted windings on the small pcb transformer, and about the best voltage I get from it is about -3.4, but only when the 10v pot is set to well over 10.75v, not good. The radio will begin to receive with 10v set correctly, but I only have -3v, any lower and the digtial stops, and no audio. and I doubt the alignment will ever be correct at such a low voltage. back now to scratching my head, and trying to figure out a way to fix, hopefully with re-winding the transformer, or having to replace the board.

[drakelist] L7 Part Needed
Title: L7 Part Needed All, On the later model L7 amplifier with the black lit meters there is a piece of sheet metal that attaches to the inside front and on either side of the meters, It looks like a hood over the two meters which the 4 pilot lamps mount to, to light up the meters from the back. I am looking for this metal hood, its a single piece of metal bent and shaped to go over the meter. Anyone on the list has a L-7 that has been parted out which has this piece?? If you have this piece Please e-mail me directly and let me know the your price with shipping. Thanks, Ron Ron Baker / WB4HFN Visit my Website: www.wb4hfn.com Vintage Drake Collins
[drakelist] Help Identify Unknown Filter
Title: Help Identify Unknown Filter All, I just received a Drake R4C receiver with a filter I can not identify. Its by Sherwood Engineering, I'm not familiar with their products, e-mailed the company a week ago but got no response, so maybe one of the Drake experts on the list may know what I have. The filter is a Sherwood filter, model CF-2K/16, this may not be the entire model number but all I can read. The filter plugs into the back of the receiver just like the other accessory filters, but this filter is approximately 2.5 inches deep. Roughly twice as long as the standard Drake filter. I realize its some sort of plug in filter and I have a bracket to mount it. I tried it out in my receiver and found it to have noticeably more through loss than the standard filter and it doesn't appear to be a super narrow filter either, like or CW. Does anyone know what this filter does. Ron Ron Baker / WB4HFN Visit my Website: www.wb4hfn.com Vintage Drake Collins
