I want to take the plunge and buy an FS-4. The Drake Virtual Museum page reads, Complete general coverage, no crystals to buy. When I found the manual it seems to spec only 11.1 to 40 Mhz coverage. I suppose the manual is correct. Where is the emoticon for confused? ___

I may take you up on this. First, a few observations that I made tonight: 1. Voltage at the +DC supply terminal on the small board under the PTO was 9.18 V. As the frequency jumped around, this voltage did not change. I am accustomed to nominal voltages in older tube gear being "not exact", s

Steve - The chrome rider bar and follower should be clean, with NO lubrication. Ensure that the spring is pulling the follower FIRMLY against the bar. Examine the slug closely for any cracks or loose segments. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 2-C/2-NT, 4-A, 4-B, C-Line and TR-4/C

Thanks, Curt & Al. That's what I thought - there would be no logical reason why someone would make that fork loose. I can't help but think that my problem is mechanically-induced. I guess I'm going to have to take the whole bloomin' thing apart so I can clean off the slug. Steve Wedge, W1

If it's the Varley, you need a P&B (Tyco) R10-E1-Y4-V2.5k, available from Mouser and Digi-Key. You'll need to add a 1.5k 1W resistor in series with the coil, otherwise a drop-in replacement. Look at the socket for V10, the 6FQ7 (or 6EV7). Remove the wire connected to Pin 6 and move it to Pin 9

Hi Steve, To answer one question, at least, Yes, the fork is loose purposely. The spring that attaches to it and leads back across the top of the case towards the "outside" keeps it tight against the shaft to that side. The shaft should be smooth. If the spring isn't there you get backlash.

Hi Again Steve: There is quite a large amount of clearance in the slotted follower over the rod. It generally stays up against one side due to the spring tension applied with the external spring. Spring is there isn't it? Looks kind of cheesy but works fine. Curt KU8L Steve Wedge wrote:

I'm going to start this with a request for a working 4-twins PTO if anyone would like to sell one to me. I'm wondering, though, as I tightened up the end-screw of the main tuning shaft, if the guide-fork that rides along the upper shaft is supposed to be really loose or not. The frequency jump

Garey, No problem. I have been halfheartedly following that TR4C thing and understand. No relay click and no idle current. Must be the relay. I'll check it out. I did pull and reseat all tubes . I also switched out V1 and 10 in the VOX circuit. Still nada. 73 to all and thanks. Rick W0RT
