Curt et al, I've had good success with Antique Electronic Supply on the web at http://www.tubesandmore.com/  They have lots of good NOS tubes and you might be able to request a particular brand such as Sylvania.  73, Eric KA8FAN From: Curt To: drakelist@

Good input, Joe. Now we know that the NTE device is safe. That probably means the Drake circuit used some explicit frequency compensation and didn't rely on the slow power transistor for stability. Dennis AE6C On Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 10:49 PM, Joe Pyles wrote: > I've replaced the audio output

[Drakelist] T-4X Troubles Solved

2009-07-11 Thread Curt
The behavior of my T-4X with plate current dip normally and load properly on 80 & 40 but not on higher bands ended up being the 6JB6 tubes. My T-4XB worked fine on all bands, so first I installed the final tubes from the T-4X into the T-4XB. When I did that, the T-4XB behaved as the T-4X had,

Thanks Franco for the info I had thought about the using the 8640 as the crystal as you suggest so will give that a try. I think that the crystal is used for aligning the 160M band and since I don’t work that band (no antenna) I can probably skip that step. The Drake alignment instructions are s

[Drakelist] DRAKE R7 ACCESSORY SOCKET

2009-07-11 Thread Michael Miller
Hi Jim, Both Drake's 1544 adapter and Lee Craner's homebrew adapter use the R7 In/Out socket to power the RV75. This socket is limited to 0.25 Amp. However, my R7 is powered by 13.8 VDC through this socket already and it would make for a much neater project if the RV75 could be wired into t

A local store sold me a BD243C. Physically it is different (it looks like a LM7812), but they told me it is equivalent to the 40310. What do you think? 73, Franco IZ2OOS 2009/7/11 Joe Pyles : > I've replaced the audio output device in a couple of 2C's with the NTE175 > and had NO oscillation prob
