[Drakelist] Yet another AC-4 rebuild (almost) completed
I just finished rebuilding my AC-4 power supply with the capacitor kit from Hayseed. Here is a page with pictures and a description: http://www.n1vqw.net/ac4rebuild/ The reason for the almost is I still have to add a relay in the transformer primary to reduce the load on the On/Off switch. Comments and suggestions welcome. Enjoy. 73 - Mark N1VQW ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
Re: [Drakelist] Yet another AC-4 rebuild (almost) completed
Good job, Mark!! Thanks for documenting that one for all of us. It does look great, and is definitely a good alternative for those that want the original look. Please do document your relay addition. I have one of those on a Collins 516F2 that I bought with an S1 Line, and it does help the switch greatly. Tom has always done a great job on all the kits he has put together for me. He will be honest and tell you that the AC4R kit is cheaper, that's just the way Tom is, but he does make a VERY good product as I have said before. He will make right problems too. I found out that there are two different can caps for the R-388 Collins, one being nearly 1 longer than the other. A quick email to Tom that I must have gotten the wrong one, and I got the right one from him right away. First rate in my book and I own NO stock in Tom's company, hi. 73, Don, WB5HAK ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist

Looks nice, Mark. The relay sounds like a good idea that I may have to steal... Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils. John Stark.
