Does any one happen to have a T4XB front panel for sale? It doesn't have to be
museum quality but no extra holes please.
Please email me direct with your info and asking price --a digital photo would
be helpful too.

First remove the crystals. They occasionally fail and are needed.

If this is a 'new' transmitter to you, the most likely cause of a crispy R61 is that someone shorted
one of the trimmer caps in the PreSelector plate circuit to the chassis. Easy to do, especially
when guys use a metal screwdriver to adjust those trimmers through those little holes. On
If you can find a tube tester, test it. I find that 6HS6's get shorts more
than most other tubes. They won't show up until you light the filament. My
TV-10-D/U puts line voltage on the pins to check for shorts (to light a neon
bulb), so you wouldn't necessarily see a short with no power to it
It's interesting that the pin 6 resistance to ground is so low since it passes
through a 82K resistor. Do the values change if you remove V8? I sense a tube
short.

Two people have bid on it, I see.
Could it be one of you?
On one level, it would be interesting to see if someone could get it to work
at all. After all, pseudo-"antique" shops are making the Big Bux selling

Well, my nose detected burnt smell in vicinity of T4. R61, a 150ohm 1/2
resistor in the 250 volt line to V8's plate is burnt to a crisp, resistance is
zero. But why? Resistance to ground on V8 pin 5 is 15k per spec. But pin 6
screen grid resistance to ground it 15k, vs 90k spec.
Any advice?
That's quite beyond washing, mate!

A good first step is use the resistance chart in the manual for the tube

Hello Gary,
Yes, that is what I've concluded too though haven't confirmed with measurements
yet. I know at one time you repaired Drake equipment (maybe you still do), so
would appreciate any words of wisdom about finding and correcting a short in
the B+. Nothing obvious on visible inspection,
No...We should congratulate this seller as giving a very clear
description of this rig. They aren't always so forthcoming, unfortunately.
