Re: [Drakelist] Drakelist Digest, Light bulb for inrush currrent protection.

2011-01-26 Thread ALAN CHANDLER

I have used W7FG manuals for many items. I think it is a retirement business and the prices are reasonable. Their phone number is 800 807 6146. It is an easy number to remember for us tube guys. There is usually someone there even on the weekends. 73, Alan - K6RFK - Original Message -

2005-01-09 Thread ALAN CHANDLER
I need to replace the power switch on my L-7.  I have not pulled it off the shelf yet.  It looks like I'll have to remove the front panel to get to it. Does anyone have recommendations on how to proceed?  I do have the replacement switch.   73, Alan - K6RFK
