[drakelist] Drake Cabinet Screws
Some time ago, someone suggested a McMaster-Carr replacement for the Drake cabinet screws. Does anyone on the list remember the part number? Dick KC9UB
[drakelist] Looking for Erie 18.1 MHz Crystal for R-4C
Hi Drakelist Does anyone out there have a working original Erie 18.1 MHz crystal they wish to sell? This is for the 40 Meter band. I could order a new replacement but thought I would see if I could find a working original first. thanks Wade VA3HM

Re: [drakelist] Drake Cabinet Screws
Dick, McMaster-Carr had a RIDICULOUS price, like $5.60 EACH on the web site, and when questioned, said that was the price, and checked correct. I gave up after that. I am SURE that was for a box of 50 or 100, but couldn't get them to budge. Just search for pan head, slotted 1/4, black oxide screws and you should find them. They may have sobered up by now, but it didn't look good for the Pakistani operatives answering their emails!! 73, Don, WB5HAK - Original Message - From: Donley To: drakelist Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 12:26 PM Subject: [drakelist] Drake Cabinet Screws Some time ago, someone suggested a McMaster-Carr replacement for the Drake cabinet screws.

Re: [drakelist] Drake Cabinet Screws
Hi Bill, Thanks very much for the reply. After I sent the email request, I took my head out of the sand and went to the McMaster-Carr site and searched. I came up with the same part number that you have. I also came up with the slotted head version at $6.04 EACH. I emailed McMaster-Carr about the price, but haven't heard back yet. I also would prefer the Phillips Head. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Hi John, Thanks very much for the reply. After I sent the email request, I took my head out of the sand and went to the McMaster-Carr site and searched.

Re: [drakelist] TR-4C tune-up procedures....
Phil, The S Meter becomes an ALC indicator in transmit. The VOX delay in CW was never enough in my oppinion. The only way to increase the delay and have some control over it is by mounting a pot in one of the extra holes in the back of the TR-4 and some extra capacitance.

Jim Gerke [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Guys, I spoke with a McMaster-Carr sales rep on the telephone about this very issue several months ago. He told me that the slotted screw is made from specially hardened steel and was indeed $5-something EACH at the time. Sure enough, the description does say Steel Type 4140 Hardened Alloy Steel. Further down, it says Rockwell Hardness Minimum C40. These screws are obviously for some special, probably military or space, application. The closest thing they have that is reasonably priced is the phillips head version for which I paid $5.28 for a box of 100. 73, Jim K5JG Don Cunningham wrote: Dick, McMaster-Carr had a RIDICULOUS price, like $5.60 EACH on the web site, and when questioned, said that was the price, and checked correct.

Note the prices have gone up a little, but I think the Keystone Screws from Allied Electronics would be a good one for this aplication (Allied PN 839-9191) Price is about $12.43 per 100. Jim Zellmer KA0VSL The drake screws are a 6-32 x 1/4 slotted pan head machine screw fully threads black oxide. I looked through several catalogs and finally found one in McMaster Carr. But the price was shocking McMaster Carr PN 94340A440 Hard Alloy Stl Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw Black-Oxide, 6-32 Thread, 1/4 Length In stock at $6.04 Each I suppose it is the hard alloy that makes these pricey. You can find a box of 100 zinc plated screws of similar type for about 2.50. Then paint them. I did find a nice substitute in the Allied Electronics catalog a phillips flat head screw with a black painted head 6-32 x 1/4 http://www.alliedelec.com/Search/SearchResults.asp?N=0Ntk=PrimaryNtt=839-9191sid=47A10F807D4E617F *Keystone Electronics* Scrw, Binding; #6-32; Binding; 0.250 in.; 0.282 in.; 0.083 in.; Black; Brass http://www.alliedelec.com/Search/ProductDetail.asp?SKU=839-9191SEARCH=MPN=9190%2D3DESC=9190%2D3R=839%2D9191 *Mfr's part#:* 9190-3 Allied Stk#: *839-9191* View Datasheet PDF http://www.alliedelec.com/Images/Products/Datasheets/BM/KEYSTONE_ELECTRONICS/Keystone-Electronics_Enclosure-and-Cooling_8399190.pdf http://www.alliedelec.com/Images/Products/Datasheets/BM/KEYSTONE_ELECTRONICS/Keystone-Electronics_Enclosure-and-Cooling_8399190.pdf 3 $12.43 http://www.alliedelec.com/Search/ProductDetail.asp?SKU=839-9191SEARCH=ID=DESC=9190%2D3 Pack of 100 There may be other sources.

Further down, it says Rockwell Hardness Minimum C40. These screws are obviously for some special, probably military or space, application.
