[Drakelist] rubber feet for ac-4
First Thanks to all who responded on the desoldering tool. Lots of ideas I never new. Next I am looking for the four feet that I need to put a AC-4 into a MS-4 cabinet. I understand they are rubber and I would imagine keep the ps from scratching the inside if the cabinet. But I am not sure. Any advice would be appreciated or a source so that I might buy some. Thanks again Jim.W7JJW___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
Re: [Drakelist] rubber feet for ac-4
Jim - The rubber feet are supplied to sit the power supply on a table or shelf. They are removed when the supply is installed inside an MS-4 and replace with regular 6-32 Pan Head (or Round Head, or Allen Cap, or ...) whatever screws you have handy! Thats why so many supplies no longer have the rubber bumper feet! IF you HAD the feet, you could use them to hold the supply in also, and if more had done that back in the 60's they wouldn't be so hard to find today. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 4-B, C-Line TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs www.k4oah.com Jim Wagner wrote: First Thanks to all who responded on the desoldering tool.

Re: [Drakelist] rubber feet for ac-4
Am I missing something - these rubber feet are available at hardware stores. For example Ace has them: http://www.acehardwareoutlet.com/%282ex2pyfscyjubp45etslnr45%29/SearchResults.aspx?SimpleSearchValue=rubber+bumper+round They list two sizes - 1 and 7/8 but I've seen other sizes (smaller). Hope this helps.

Re: [Drakelist] rubber feet for ac-4
No..these will work but not like the originals. My originals had the short brass threaded pc molded into the half-pherical bumper. They are approx 1/2 diameter.

Re: [Drakelist] rubber feet for ac-4
Wayne - Not the same thing. The ones Drake used are a hard rubber with the 6-32 machine screw molded into the rubber. These screw into threaded holes in the AC-4 cabinet. The ones you reference are apparently for screwing into a wooden item. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 4-B, C-Line TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs www.k4oah.com Wayne Rogers wrote: Am I missing something - these rubber feet are available at hardware stores.

[Drakelist] Rubber feet?
I recently acquired my first tube radio station. A TR-4/RV-4/AC-4. Everything seems to work as it should. My question is one only a rookie would ask, and I'm sorry to ask but I have looked everywhere I can find, without any luck. Should the AC-4 have rubber feet on it? Mine does not and when I put it inside the RV-4 I have a vibrational hum that is not acceptable.

Re: [Drakelist] Rubber feet?
Ok. Thanks all. I did not know the AC-4 was securely mounted to the chassis of the RV-4 with screws. I was just sliding it in there. I see I have the threaded type mount power supply. I also see that the feet on the RV-4 are nutted. So I'll try to screw the RV-4's rear feet into the bottom of the AC-4. That is two mount point short I know. BTW. I read this all day long and am learning a lot, fast. Thanks again.

Re: [Drakelist] Rubber feet?
Not sure that will work, if memory servers, they may be different threads. The original screw in feet of the AC-4 (shorter than the RV-4 feet, they were just half-rubber balls attached to screws) were to be used to hold the AC-4 in the RV-4/RV-4C/MS-4 cases.

Re: [Drakelist] Rubber feet?
The TR-4 has 6 rubber feet (sorta). On the rear there is one in each corner and in the front there are two stacked in each corner. This raises the front to an angle. The RV-4 has rubber feet in both corners up front that look very similar to the ones on the TR-4. And in the rear corners there are the half rubber ball feet. I was told the SK who last owned this station, ran the power supply out side of the case. The AC-4 is without feet. So it looks like I'm just a couple of power supply feet short. The power supply has no real vibration to the touch. But putting inside of the RV-4 without feet and having it rest in the nutted studs from the half round feet on the rear of the RV-4 creates a vibration that sounds like AC hum. This is still new to me and I will take care of this rubber footing when I do a maintenance cleaning (it needs it) next month. Thanks for the information. I now know how it was meant to be.
