[Drakelist] modify subscription / email address

I was wondering how I can change my email address or make other subscription changes for the Drakelist. I can't find anything on the website about that. Maybe it's there, but I don't see it. Thanks, Al, WA2S ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zero

Re: [Drakelist] First Rigs - If you could do it all over again, what would your first station be?

I got my Novice in '64 when I was starting the 10th grade. (Seems like a lot of us started around that time). I had to share my station with my brother, who got his license at the same time. That made it a little easier to save up for equipment anyway. Started with a DX-40 also, with just a few cr

Re: [Drakelist] Drake 2B Update

Nice to hear you got the 2B working better. My 2B actually works better with a different tube than the original type for V5, I believe, but not sure if it's V5 or V6. With all the original type tubes, the S-meter doesn't have as good of a range as it should. The RF gain control pot doesn't m

Re: [Drakelist] restoring

I used a similar method in refurbing a 2B about half a year ago. I put the chassis on a slant, using some boards on my bench, and put newspaper under it to absorb excess water and cleaner. I used either 409 or Simple Green with some water and a small paint brush (with the metal part covered with m

[Drakelist] Drake 2B anomaly

I have a Drake 2B that I refurbished and re-aligned a few months ago, and it plays pretty well on all bands. The only thing that seems a little strange is when the passband control is set to "1", and the preselector is off-tuned or if there is no antenna connected (low atmospheric noise), it so

[Drakelist] Red dial scale pegs

I have a 2B and a T-4X that both have very faded red pegs (or whatever you call them) that are used to shift the dial scale for calibration purposes. You can tell they used to be red, but there is hardly any red left on either of them. I was wondering if there is an easy way to restore the color to

[Drakelist] 2B Crystal wanted

I was wondering if anyone has a 24.5 MHz crystal that they can spare for a reasonable price. I need that to get the beginning of the 10 meter band on the 2B I recently finished refurbing. For some reason, it only comes with the one for 28.5 to 29 MHz. (Probably because that's used on 15 meters als

[Drakelist] Drake 2B paint problems

I recently acquired a 2B that was in fairly decent condition, but the cabinet needed a paint job to look good because it had several little scratches and blemishes. Anyway, after sanding the whole cabinet down, priming it, and spraying it with Rustoleum Satin Black paint, It came out pretty nice lo

[Drakelist] Drake 2B or 2A knobs wanted

I was wondering if anyone has any spare 2B, 2A, or 2BQ/2AQ knobs that they would want to part with. I think the knobs might be the same on the 2C also, but not sure. I would prefer two, but will settle for one. (I have a cracked one and and a couple where the chrome is rusted a bit). Thanks, Al
