Re: [Drakelist] R4C static after Sherwood 3d mixer mod

Same thing on the filter selector switch. Not using the radio will  
usually have a switch issue. A bit od deoxit will resolve thAt issue.
Good luck.  The third mixer did adequately address the third mixer  
prob. Drake had 3 or 4 designs and Sherwood. Solved it all.


A clean and functioning Sherwood receiver is a wonder. Still use mine

I have obtained an R4C with many of
the Sherwood mods installed including the solid state 3d
mixer which is supposed to eliminate the dreaded frying
crackle.   Unfortunately occasionally I hear
a bit of static sounding to me like what a brief solar flare
might sound. It is not really a hiss but more like a strong
static crash.  It is definitely not simply QRN!
It is infrequent and I can still copy over it.  Before
I open it up and start reviewing the wiring on the mixer
mod, has anyone else had experience with this type of
problem?  Is there a known culprit such as one of the
tubes going bad??  Any and all suggestions appreciated.

Bob,
Thanks for that "tip" for the R4C.  I think I'll just "DeOxit" mine while it 
is on the bench being re-capped!!!  Isn't this list the greatest??
