Wow, thank you so much to all for the most useful information. Yes the AC4 is wired for 240 v. Hoped to string up some sort of temporary antenna this weekend and get on the air but I now know I will be busy doing something else! Just hope I have the technical abilty to sort it out. Years ago I built a Heathkit scope but that is about my only experience with components, soldering etc. I do not suppose any Drake enthusiast will have any doubt as to why a TR4 but in case anybody has, in the late 60's and early 70's when I was active I had three receivers in a row, the last being a R4A. I thought it was magnificent and way ahead of any receiver I had tried at the time. Wish I still had it today. It is only natural that I want to return to Drake. Thanks again everyone. Damien G3XER
