Just a note to all regarding the broken transformer core on the power supply board of my project TR7. At first I figured I'd need a new transformer. However, based on expert guidance from Ron and Bill, I was able to super glue back the two broken top pieces and then simply glued the top and bottom halves of the transformer together (my idea). I did leave the original Drake wire tie for originallity, but it no longer serves any funtion.
That fixed the problem. The rig locks up on all bands just the way it should and suprisingly its on freqency with only minor adjustment. All functions seem to be working as they should on recieve. I'll be checking transmit tomorrow. I know I bumped the 10v pot in process, but seems to be ok. After checking xmit, I'll attempt full alignment and see where I end up. I did repaint the top lid, as it was a later Drake black replacement and was scratched up. I must say it looks very nice. Split rear panel, 5392, fully loaded. Thanks to all for their comments and offers of help. David Wd9cmd
