[Drakelist] Drake 2B Osc Section not working.

[drake2b]

 I found a mint looking Drake 2B that came with the original 3 crystals for 40, 
20 and 10 meters. The problem is that I just receive white noise on the  80 
meter band but with the band switched on 40 meters I can receive 80 meters fine 
  and hear 80 on 20 and 10 also but very weak. The  freq tracks perfect for 80 
meters while band switched to 40 (confirmed with another receiver). So, the 
crystal osc doesn't seem to be working. Don't think its a tube after checking 
tubes and doing a little swapping  so must be a problem in the crystal osc 
section (did the neg volt test on lug next to V2 and it stayed positive (not 
oscillating). I also did voltage checks on tubes V1-V4 but had to use a DVM. 
Had +1.95v on pin 8 and +.49mv on pin 9 of V2. Also +3.26 on Pin 1 of V3. Those 
were the only readings that didn't seem right?
 Is it possible that a golden screwdriver got to it?  Any suggestions on where 
to look?
Thanks, Lew

I have an SP75, s/n 538, that is looking for a good Drake home.  It does work 
and I have the original manual and box.
 
If you are interested, make me a reasonable offer.  We can figure out the 
shipping at that point (I'll even consider overseas but you'll pickup the 
entire cost).
 
Digital pics available upon request.
 
Contact me off the list.

Not really :)

Having read provided document links, I note that according to the gurus, I am
wrong. I also note that every single Yahoo group that I subscribe to defaults
to reply-to-list.   Perhaps Yahoo has become the new Microsoft and has
become the de-facto standard setter.  

At any rate, the internet gurus that say reply-to-list is bad are obviously
very knowledgable and computer savvy. They know the landscape, and know what
they can do - and how to do it. However, that does not change what I said. I
think the majority of people that join a mailing list, especially people who
are familiar with Yahoo lists, expect replies to automatically go to the list.
It is also true that a large percentage of computer users are not very
knowledgable about how lists work, and about how to make their mailer to
addressing tricks. A subset of those really don't want to be bothered. So we
have two universes colliding here, the ideal universe and the real world
universe. 

So, what to do? Follow the rules? Or do what seems to make sense? Or, are they
both the same? Thom is the one who makes that decision.

As an interesting side note, my mailer is old and obsolete, no longer supported
by it's authors, and doesn't handle HTML very well at all. Yet, when the
Reply-To: is different from the From: address, it pops up a decision box asking
me which one I want to reply to. I am not aware of any other email programs
that do this; are there any? If not, this may be a feature that you all out
there should demand from your mailer program of choice.

I agree, it is a but of an annoyance. To me, the bigger issue is that you have
people coming into mailing lists that have NO CLUE about the nuances of email
or the features of their email program other than 'REPLY' and 'SEND'. They
probably don't even realize that their replies aren't going to the list as a
whole. I've had to explain to people who use M$ Outhouse Express every day how
to do a BCC:. It could be reasonably assumed that a mailing list could be set
up to not deliver a message that you posted back to you. Either way you set it
up, there will be people who grumble that they liked it better one way or the
other. Meanwhile, the participants who are not as computer savvy as, perhaps,
the majority of us would be better served by having replies go to the list.

My $0.02 worth (not worth much these days)

Since there is little consistency between all the groups I'm on, I try to
remember every time to CHECK where "REPLY" will go, and adjust accordingly.

Hence, I don't care HOW you set it, I'll still have to check each time.

Brian -

All that "yakking" is all well and good for 20 years ago.  TODAY, on 
typical reflector type mail lists, REPLY goes to the list.  The whole 
idea,  _at least for the Drake list_, is to spread information among as 
many users as we can.  Having REPLY go ONLY to the OP deprives the rest 
of the list members whatever information was exchanged.  Now if this is 
the occasional sale negotiation, or other 'private' communication, it's 
easy enough to just replace the list address with the OPs address, or 
REPLY ALL and delete everything but the OPs address.


The annoyance of the current situation is that I have to Reply All to 
respond to the list, which currently then includes you, Richard, AND the 
list.  So unless I delete those two addresses, you will each receive TWO 
copies of this drivel!  :-)


I've been using eMail since ARPANET in the 60's, and there have been a 
LOT of changes in protocol, or 'what's right' in that time.  This is one 
that is past due.

I do know that with Eudora, when I hit reply, it goes to

The requester's concern was that a lot of information does

I suggest that if you feel you reply will be of benefit to 
the entire list. reply to the list.

Re: [Drakelist] TR4C filter cap; shame on Drake

[k9sqg]

Dick,


Unsoldered connections, on wires or tabs, have been noted in isolated cases in 
Drake gear.  However, due to wire wrap and crimp, many of these connections 
have enabled perfect performance even after 30 or more years of being like 
that.  So what you are seeing is likely the exception rather than the rule.

Ok guys, I made my decision to just go ahead and replace the can with 4 
individual caps. 
 
Just for the heck of it, I cleared the way underneath and lifted the unsoldered 
tabs along the chassis edge with a screwdriver. I then decided to try a wiggle 
of the can to see if it may be possible to just rock it until the two soldered 
tabs break. 
 
WHOA! What a shock! (not literally) The can just lifted out. What had appeared 
to be huge globs of solder on the other two tabs was just that.  This rig was 
never worked on before so some tech in 1974 failed to check his work, probably 
on a Monday. 
 
Sure simplified my work though. Now all I have to do is solder my new caps to 
the wires and heat shrink them. I still may gut the can and put the new caps in 
there just for looks.
