Re: [Drakelist] TR7A band change problem

Demis - I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. The TR-7(A) should cover 1.5 to 30 MHz continuous with the AUX PROGRAM switch in the NORM position. Selecting the desired frequency range with the BAND switch and then either continuously tuning with the MAIN TUNING knob -OR- moving UP o

Re: [Drakelist] 6jb6

I won't speak to the tube question..I'll just listen.. I would try a heat gun to soften the adhesive and remove the tag. Curt KU8L m coffey wrote: Well, the last time I asked a question about the 6jb6, it started quite a long discussion! Lets see what happens this time! Awhile back, som

Re: [Drakelist] 6jb6

[Drakelist] R-4C electrolytics

[Drakelist] R-4C AM filter is in
