[Drakelist] TR-4C Filament Voltage

2011-10-09 Thread jeffers.rj
The filament voltage on my TR-4C is just under 6V at the tube filament pin. The Drake AC-4 is wired for 120/240V, but the Line Voltage in New Zealand is 230V. Hence, I presume, this is the reason for lower filament voltage, and probably lower HV on the plates. I suppose this means lower electron

Have now purchased and installed two new crystals, one at 32 pf and one at 20 pf, both were recommendations by crystal mfrs. Neither crystal would work in the circuit but John Kriner was kind snuff to sell me a used crystal which I soldered in and with minor adjustments the radio is playing bea

At one point several years ago I checked the patent for deoxit and I remember it being a PO/EO copolymer of some type.  Oleic acid is a weakly acidic long-chain carboxylic acid, and as for the naphtha, I have never smelled any deoxit that smells like a hydrocarbon solvent.  Having said that, I

The MC4316 would also work, it is the full temperature range device if you can find it. The MC4016 is similar in function to the 74160 TTL IC but only the power and ground pins are the same. I looked through my IC stuff as I have a lot of the older types but don't have any MC4016 decade count

I have for sale a complete, collectible quality B-Line -- R4B, T4XB, Speaker, PS and interconnecting cables. The R4B cabinet has two small dings in the top near the front that were rather in-artfully repaired using paint that doesn't quite match. They could easily be repaired with a little pa

The 16 pin MC4016 ( MC4316/4016 ) is a programable divide by N counter. Not sure why Motorola used the 4016 number twice, very confusing. 73, Gary___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
