Re: [Drakelist] R4B PTO indicator...

1) Replace the lamp with a fresh one and wait for it to drift upward (that could buy you a year or many years). 2) Reduce the value of the dropping resistor and take a chance that the transistor won't break down under the extra voltage present. 3) Upgrade the transistor to a high voltage

That's on my Last Resort list :) This was going to be a quick clean and a flip - funny how project creep kicks in right at the beginning. 'ES -Original Message- From: Gary Poland Sent: Sep 6, 2011 9:48 PM To: Steve Wedge , Drake List

[Drakelist] TR7 AM Broadcast

*The TR7 that I have has at some point had the mod done it to where it will receive everywhere, when you put the Aux program sw. in the 1, 2 or 3 position. In the 1 position receive from 800 to 1600 or so the am stations are clear but in the 2 position where you would receive the normal AM radio

For the lower frequencies, you need to use the aux antenna connection on one of the big comnnectors on the back. On 07-Sep-11 16:00, drakelist-requ...@zerobeat.net wrote: Message: 5 Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2011 10:57:43 -0500 From: Woodyko4...@gmail.com To: Drake Listdrakelist@zerobeat.net Subject:

Re: [Drakelist] R4B PTO indicator...

Revesing the leads is about as much work as replacing the lamp and I am not sure it works. I swapped my neon lamp leads on the PCB, not at the panel. About a minute of easy soldering and well worth the try. Paul, W9AC ___ Drakelist mailing

Re: [Drakelist] R4B PTO indicator...

Thanks, Paul, I wanted to say it was that easy, but as I said, I haven't been there so wasn't sure. It wasn't worth tearing the case off mine to see, hi. 73, Don, WB5HAK ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net

Re: [Drakelist] Stuck screw in PTO knob.

We have a winner! I could not get that screw to back out with PB Blaster, WD40, heat from the hair dryer, or freeze spray. I noticed the knob wasn't on overly tight (a good thing this time). I wiggled it and it loosened up a little, then held (gently) the shaft inside the frame (just inside

Re: [Drakelist] Stuck screw in PTO knob.

Thats luck Steve: I would sometimes rather be lucky than good! Not sure who suggested it, but they never tried drilling a hardened set screw out of a plastic housing. Not much chance of that happening in a normal home shop---even a toolmaker would cringe at trying that. Oh OH Ohhere's

Re: [Drakelist] Stuck screw in PTO knob.

Steve - Be sure and inspect that shaft before you put the knob on again. Twisting one off like that will often leave a spiral groove with raised edges on the shaft. Burnish it down until smooth with fine sandpaper or steel wool. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 2-C/2-NT, 4-A,

[Drakelist] Yet Another TR7 Question

Garey, Help an old man's brain remember something from the past. If the AC fan on my TR7 runs after I shut off the RCVR GAIN switch, does that tell me that the DC portion of the switch is working, but the other side, the AC side is not?? I seem to remember that the TR7 has separate sections
