Darrell Bellerive <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I received a personal email from Bill Frost, the Service Manager for Drake for the last 40+ years. He offered this information, reprinted here with his kind permission, with regards to lubricating the Drake 2-B receiver:
"In regard to lubrication, we (Drake Service Department) always used a drop or two of 3 in one oil on the bandshaft detent, and a drop on the main tuning shaft bushing. Using a small bladed screwdriver, put a drop of oil on the end of the screwdriver blade and then you can reach those hard to get at spots, once you touch the area, the oil will transfer to the desired spot. Caution: Do NOT allow any oil to get on the dial cord or that section of the main tuning shaft. Also a drop on each end of the preselector variable and the tuning variable. If you use Deoxit or ?? on the variable controls, use it very sparingly. Just remember if it ain't broke don't fix it." -- Darrell Bellerive Amateur Radio Stations VA7TO and VE7CLA Grand Forks, British Columbia, Canada ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: drakelist@zerobeat.net Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
