[Drakelist] equivalent transistor for drake 2-C

2009-07-08 Thread iz oos
Hi folks, I am in the need to change the output audio transistor 40310 in my drake 2-C. Is there a modern equivalent of the 40310 so I can easily replace it? 73, iz2oos ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net

[Drakelist] Garey Barrell - K4OAH - hospitalized

I just got a short note from Garey Barrell's daughter that he has been hospitalized and it may be awhile before he is able to be back on the lists. She didn't give much in the way of details, other than it was due to complications from surgery. I recall that Garey had a ticker operation a year

It is running on 12 volts, I would think almost any NPN silicon power transistor with a TO-66 case would work, like a 2N3054 and I have a few if needed. Mike W6MXV - Original Message - From: iz oos izo...@gmail.com To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 9:27 AM

[Drakelist] T-4X Trouble

2009-07-08 Thread Hulett, Russell
Having last owned a tube rig 3 decades ago, I recently purchased a T-4X and an R-4. Had expected to encounter some problems, didn't expect the swamp to deepen so quickly. On 40M CW and LSB, rig tunes up fine, an output wattmeter indicates 70 watts with 200mA plate current and a chirpy

I am trying to help another Drake fan, but need some of you fellows experteeism: He has hum in his early R-4A including with the AF gain turned to minimum. He replaced the can-cap in it (this one is the 3-section version, all 100 mfd) and the hum dropped dramatically. Apparently there was

Tom, Does he have a spare audio output tube he can sub in to make sure the tube itself is not causing the hum?? I would try that first, then look at coupling capacitors that he hasn't yet changed. 73, Don, WB5HAK ___ Drakelist mailing list

How much hum and via what output?   If I use hi-fi headphones on my tube gear, I can hear hum.  OTOH it is not really noticeable with the speaker. 73, Ron WD8SBB --- On Wed, 7/8/09, Tom NØJMY n0...@hayseedhamfest.com wrote: From: Tom NØJMY n0...@hayseedhamfest.com Subject: [Drakelist] Need
