Hi Garey, Thanks for the wonderful tips.  I will let the list know what I find.  I know of a person who redesigned the TR-4 PTO circuit to get the better stability. I do not know what effect it had on the linearity though.  I will ask him whether he is okay with sharing the information. 73, Ki

I put a really nice RV-4 on FleaBay yesterday. I bought it with a TR-4 complete set. It tests out fine with the TR-4 but I am not going to keep it. Very nice copper and good paint, speaker etc...all cables. Started at $1 and no reserve ends on Sun... item # 290563079119 Keeping the 2B, 2BQ,

Kiwahl - First, that's a 2N3858 in the Buffer position, a 2N3904 will replace. The 2N706 is still available from Mouser and others. Other transistors 'may' work, but 'may' also corrupt the linearity. I don't know. I've been looking for a defunct PTO to conduct these sorts of experim

Hi Kihwal, Don't toss that PTO out...! I know Garey expressed interest some time ago in acquiring a "bad" one, so that he might perform some "post mortem" work upon it for educational sake... As long as you have the PTO board in your hand, "jiggle" the different components between your thumb & f

[Drakelist] Need bad FT-243 to use holder as plug

I am setting up a 2NT with a VFO. The easiest way to connect seems to be to connect the output of the vfo to a crystal socket. I would like to try as a plug an FT-243 crystal holder with the crystal removed and the vfo output soldered to the two holder pins. Anybody willing to part with an ol

The PTO in my R-4A failed a few days ago. I replaced it with a spare I had, but I still want to fix it as it has better linearity.  In case the transistors are bad, what are the proper substitutes? It has a 2N3058 and a 2N706.  Kihwal, K9SUL ___ Drakel
