Greetings Drake aficionados, I have spent several hours trying to put the little bearings back into the front of a Drake C-Line PTO with no success. Is there a published procedure or "trick" for putting these bearings back in place? I have never seen it written up, or even discussed on this list,

2011-01-23 Thread Arthur Delibert
Several people have recently been discussing the problem of a TR-7 with an incorrect frequency read-out. I had a similar problem on my R7 -- the frequency display, and the actual received frequency, were exactly 2 MHz too low on all bands except 0, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0 and 21.0 MHz. I wanted to let

Hi All, This is slightly off topic for a Drake list but I've heard you mention the Heath Kit Shop on this list before so am taking a chance. I have a Heath 1410 keyer that was given to me by a friend. He also lent me his AC line cord for it but needs it back soon. When I went to Mike's web sit
