[drakelist] AC4 power supply Filter kit
Guys, Can anyone help out Mike? Some of the guys on the Drake Technical net have been bugging MIke to produce a board that would be sized correctly for the AC4. Well it looks like he's done that, but now needs a volunteer to send him an AC4 so he can make sure it works. If anyone has one out there, that needs to recapped, and can benefit by replacing the whole guts, please contact Mike and see what you can work out. This would benefit the whole collector group once he has a proven product ready for distribution. I have included the link to his web site showing what he has done for the Heath HP-23's.

Re: [drakelist] 4 Line Crystals
I think I paid around $12.00 each some three years ago at JAN Crystals. I'm sure it costs more by now. The neat thing is they have the crystal specs on hand and you only have to say it's for a Drake (fill in the model number). Unfortunately you have to wait 3 - 4 weeks for delivery. On the other hand, crystals drift off frequency with age. For example, I still have the original 39.1mHz crystal to cover 28 28.5mHz I bought some 33 years ago directly from Drake. It's about 10kHz off now. The ones I ordered from JAN are generally +/- 2Khz. So given the choice of old versus new, regardless of cost, I'd go with new stock. International Crystals also sells crystals for Drake equipment. > > I've seen comments on the list about 4 Line crystals, and recommended > sources.

[drakelist] Question about SW-4A
Hello to the group, Could you please told me the how many volt you have on the C76 ( little electrolytic condenser 0.1 MF/ 200VDC on the power board) of the SW-4A. I measure -24 volts and I think it is too much. Your comments will be greatly appreciated. 73, Jean-Marie R.L.

Re: [drakelist] Question about SW-4A
Jean-Marie - I don't have an SW-4A, but according to the manual that does seem high, and would cut off the RF and other AGC controlled stages. 1. C76 is most likely either a paper or ceramic capacitor rather than electrolytic. 2. The grids of V4 and V5 show -1.2V, and they are essentially connected directly to the top of C76. 2. The voltage at the "other end" of R55, the 2.2M resistor should be about -1 to -2 volts. 3. If R57 was open or much increased in value, there could be as much as -60V on the end of R55. This would be my first check! A shorted Q4 is also a possibility. What are the voltage measurements on Q4? Let us know what you find. 73, Garey - K4OAH Atlanta CHERRY wrote: Hello to the group, Could you please told me the how many volt you have on the C76 ( little electrolytic condenser 0.1 MF/ 200VDC on the power board) of the SW-4A.

Re: [drakelist] AC4 power supply Filter kit
Ive dealt with Mike on the amp keyer that I use with my Henry 3K, a very nice product. Ive also bugged him about the Drake AC-4 pwr supply. His stuff works great and hes a very decent guy. I dont know him at all except for my small purchase. But, I need to repair 3 AC-4's as well. 73 Mark W0NCL
