Thanks for the tip. When I checked with Newark they sold the bulbs by the
box only and shipping to me was over 13.00! Also I found another source that
was a little cheaper and would ship priority mail. I bought 70 bulbs and
plan to only keep 10 so if anyone needs just a couple and doesn't want a

Cant get a break on these drakes...
The tr4c I recieved this week has the 60 cycle hum
on recieve problem.
Did some tests as per the wb4hfn website and then
replaced the 250v caps in the ms3 that I am using with it. Same problem! I didnt
replace the diodes or the bias supply cap yet as I dont
Newark shows part #96F7956 has 133 in stock at a price of $16.75, unit of measure is
"package of 10". I assume that means a package of 10 bulbs for $16.75 and they have
133 packages in stock. Also checked www.bulbdirect.com and they show them for $1.31
each so the Newark price is in the ball
I have used a 5 volt peanut bulb soldered in, the resistance is about the
same, 4.5 ohms I think.

As Garey said replacing T-9 isn't the easiest repair on a Drake rig. I have
had the pleasure myself a couple of times. I have decided to do my best to
find the correct replacement as there is not a lot of room to work with for
a haywire job in most cases and because I also like originality. ( I al
I bought a distributors remaining stock of the bulbs...They are from a
different manufacturer but a direct replacement with identical specs. I
won't know the price exactly for a few days until I see the actual invoice.
I will post another note in a few days with a price. Thanks to all who
offered

Well, a surge protector (e.g. Alpha-Delta, PolyPhasor, etc.) would serve a useful
function to. But, good amateur practice suggests disconnecting the antenna at the rig
whenever not in use. And prior to storms approaching, disconnecting the antenna leads

Could Marty find out the resistance of the bulb he is looking for and use the
bulb base to wire in a resistor and then place the unit back in the rig?
Seems that this would solve the problem of a hard to find or obsolete bulb.

The #12 bulb is a 6.3 volt 150ma lamp. Any small lamp with that or similar
rating should work. Interestingly enough, I just went thru a similar
exercise with my Icom R-71A receiver. I overloaded this receiver and blew
out a similar bulb in its front end. The R-71A was off at the time but
