Tune up Drake B Line.
Pre tune using spot settings. Fine tune on antenna with about 10 watts.
Not all the time but some time when peaking the pre-selector on the
receiver the output will drop suddenly or increase suddenly to 40 watts. The
output on the Drake MN 2000 watt meter will show a

I believe he said that he had tried another AC-4.? If not, that is
certainly the first suspect! Perhaps I have confused one of the other
(five) problems I've got working... :-)
Lou, if I did confuse this, definitely try either another supply or at
least bridge a suitable cap on the LV supp

Thanks Doug I've had mixed emotions since I traded my Henry 6N2 amp for the
TR-6 station..
I got it from the original owner who's a non-smoker and the radio works great.
Thanks again,
John.

I've been tracking Drake gear (and some boat anchors and other gear that I
might someday have in interest in) on ebay.
On the TR-6 I have 17 closed transactions in the spreadsheet. The Average
price is $581; the lowest price was $180 and the highest price was $950.

Hi Kevin,
I was very active on 6 meter AM in 57-59. I used a Globe Scout 680
with my HQ-140-X and an International Crystal 6 meter converter with
a 5 element Hy Gain beam on a 20 foot pole in my back yard and had
good success with it. My rig was pretty typical of the time, so if

Hi Lou,
Do what Garey once suggested to me, and which I continue to do here to
monitor the T-4X on my R-4: listen to your actual signal on the air, and NOT
the sidetone monitor...
It's amazing the tales that'll tell you, believe me!

I have a TR-6 (Serial Number 300) with very scarce Drake Noise Blanker, AC-4,
and Drake Speaker. I wonder how much my station would be worth??

I had the Hallicrafters SR-46A (seen here

Probably not a great rig for DX, but for local ragchews it was fine.
I had the two meter version also.

You might also consider Clegg equipment. The Clegg 66er is a decent AM
rig. The Thor 6 is even better, but be sure to get both the RF box and
the power supply/modulator.

Is the transmitted signal 'rough', or is it just the SIDETONE that is
rough??
You might try bridging C129 with whatever electrolytic you have

Kevin,
Drake made the TR-6. They are a bit hard to find, therefore very expensive.
They do, however, seem to work quite well and are good receivers. Heathkit
made one, but the number is escaping, but it's like an SB-110. That also seems
to be a good rig. Both will be "old in the tooth" and

Hi All,

very much. I use it primarily on AM and really like the vintage radio
activities. I now have two other AM station
In the spot position the tone is perfect. only in the tune or transmit
does the AC noise or raspy tone comes in?
Anyone out there have any ideas what I can do before I send the rig out?
