Re: [Drakelist] 2B Receiver Preselector Knob
Hi Mark, I think that these are pretty scarce. I've been looking for a while too. I have had some success with crazy glue and then being careful tightening the setscrew. Yes, the Preselector knobs on the 2-B and 2-C are the same. At least on the receivers I have. That knob style seems to be used on the preselectors of the receivers and the tuning control of the q-multipliers. Not sure of the 2-A, the photos look like they may be the same as well. The 2-C and 2-NT other knobs are very similar to the preselector knobs on the 2-B and 2-C, the only difference I see is the silver indicator mark. I need one of these too. 73, Darrell VA7TO Darrell Bellerive On 13-01-04 05:25 PM, Mark wrote: Hi, Does anyone have a 2B Preselector knob for sale, or know where I can get one?

[Drakelist] Wanted 2-B Band Crystals
I am looking for the following band crystals for my Drake 2-B. I want to expand coverage to all amateur bands from 160 meters through 10 meters. I already have the 160 meter conversion for the A band. I am hoping to find used crystals rather than have new ones built, but have the feeling these will be scarce on the used market. Here's to hoping though... 9.0 MHz for 60 meter band on switch position B 14.0 MHz for 30 meter band on switch position C 14.5 MHz for 17 meter band on switch position D Third overtone type: 21.0 MHz for 12 meter band on switch position E 24.5 MHz for 10 meter band on switch position 10-1 25.6 MHz for 10 meter band on switch position 10-3 Please contact me off list. 73, Darrell VA7TO -- Darrell Bellerive ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
Re: [Drakelist] Wanted 2-B Band Crystals
Darrell: Try Bryan Carling (http://www.af4k.com/index.html). I bought some Drake crystals from him to get SW coverage on my Drake 2B. I was quite satisfied. He's a good guy.

Re: [Drakelist] 2B Receiver Preselector Knob
Mark and All, I've had good success (2 for 2) repairing split/cracked TenTec 238 tuner selector knobs and would be willing to attempt the same procedure with the 2B preselector knob. I remove the inside hub of the knob then machine an aluminum or brass hub (drilled and tapped for the set screw) and epoxy it inside the knob. I then compress the knob around the new hub to glue the crack as tight as possible. The crack would probably still be visible on close inspection but the knob/hub will be significantly stronger. Of course, the best solution is a new knob if one can be found. Up to this point, I had not considered doing this as a service to others but with original knobs becoming unobtainium maybe it would help keep our great vintage Drake equipment operating and looking good for years to come. Let me know if you would like to give it a try. I would not have availability until after Jan 21, however. 73, Stan, KF4BY C-Lines, C4, W4, L4B, TR4C, RV4, 2B, 2BQ, 2C, 2NT, UV3, TR7, RV75, MN2700, etc. (I really enjoy the Drake equipment!)

[Drakelist] TR-3/TR-4 owners in Boston area?
Hi there, I'm considering outfitting my TR-3 with new finals, but would need some guidance and elmer/equipment support in doing the neutralizing of finals and such. So just wondering if there might be some enthusiasts in this area that might be up for helping out with such a thing. I'd offer a six-pack of beer or other food oriented gratitude for such help.
