Re: [drakelist] OT coax contamination?
Richard Loken [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- On Wed, 7 Dec 2005, Ron Wagner wrote: Since there seems to be no black, I am guessing it is not normal contamination. It may have caused issues with the cable, but I will have to figure a way to test it. Ideas on testing solicited. It is my understanding - based on the combined forces of illiteracy and ignorance - that the contamination causes the the strands of the shield to be insulated from each other so that the shield no longer behaves like a shield. The fact that the shield is now covered in crap also make it very difficult to solder as we all know. Maybe this is natures way of getting cheapskate hams to buy new cable instead carrying on with that lossy old stuff they found behind the furnace. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : Anybody can be a father Athabasca University: but you have to earn Athabasca, Alberta Canada : the title of 'daddy' ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** : - Lynn Johnston -- Submissions:drakelist@www.zerobeat.net Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net --

Is this what is called contamination, as in non-contaminating coax? Yes, it could well be. Non-contaminating coax was coax where the jacket material did not gradually migrate into the shield and bugger up the shield's properties. I pulled out a lot of old coax when I used to do honest work (instead of babysitting computers), the contamination of shield was apparant because the material that moved in was black. The insulating material between the centre conductor and the shield would turn yellow but it did not seem to become intimate with the shield like the jacket did. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : Anybody can be a father Athabasca University: but you have to earn Athabasca, Alberta Canada : the title of 'daddy' ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** : - Lynn Johnston -- Submissions:drakelist@www.zerobeat.net Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net --

The female phono is corroded. How do I remove the cover from the plug? I can see a pin that appears to go through the plug but I am not sure if it is possible to tap this through. Yes, you can tap out the pin and then the plug should come apart without any fuss. It is a standard Jones plug and the were still available about five years back when I last looked for one. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : Anybody can be a father Athabasca University: but you have to earn Athabasca, Alberta Canada : the title of 'daddy' ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** : - Lynn Johnston -- Submissions:drakelist@www.zerobeat.net Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net --

I have understood that it was a safety-requirement in case the TR7 was used professionally, that then RX could not be adjusted to zero volume. That safety-requirement is a normal solid state quirk. It requires more parts and more thought to make a volume control that completely shuts off the audio but I would have thought better of Drake. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : Anybody can be a father Athabasca University: but you have to earn Athabasca, Alberta Canada : the title of 'daddy' ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** : - Lynn Johnston -- Submissions:drakelist@www.zerobeat.net Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net --

The brand is not important except for the 6JB6 finals and even there you have some flexibility. A design that depends on certain brand of tube says some rather unkind things about the designer. In the case of Bob Drake there was a quote to the effect that he only used a dozen parts to build his designs but he knew how to use those parts very well. I am a bigot and a chauvenist.
