[Drakelist] Looking for an SPR-4 AC Power Cord

Hello, I am going over an SPR-4 a friend of mine recently purchased for SWLing. It came without the AC power cord and so does anyone on the list know a source for these cables or just the chassis plug alone? Thanks, Tom, W1CC ___ Drakelist mailing

Re: [Drakelist] Does Anyone Remember the 1970's AES Ad with Ray Grenier?

Scott, I recall that early 1970's photo very clearly. I also have my AES catalog from 1970 which shows Ray Grenier, K9KHW, standing next to a wall of Swan boxes which was also very impressive to me at the time. I actually met Ray at the 1998 Dayton Hamvention. We were both waiting in the line to

Re: [Drakelist] MS-4 Replacement Speaker

Hi Bob, I have installed the SSN Collins 5x7 speak in two MS-4s and a 312B-4 in my shack and I like the sound this speak puts out. It has a broader range than the Drake 5x7 speaker and it sounds much fuller and richer too. It has a much heavier magnet and a tweeter cone as you can see in the

Re: [Drakelist] 2-C PS Cap replacement

Hi Darrell, I recently re-capped a 2-C and used the 2-C can cap kit from Hayseed Hamfest. Here is the link: http://www.hayseedhamfest.com/ Very satisfied with the results and I am just a happy customer and nothing more. 73, Tom, W1CC On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 4:39 PM, Darrell Gordon

Re: [Drakelist] L4B Question

Hi Woody, I added a Harbach Soft Start board to my L-4B about a year ago and I mounted it exactly where the soft start instructions suggested and it works very well. You will need to adjust slightly the binding post where the small electrolytic cap is mounted, but that is all. Good luck with

Re: [Drakelist] L-4B PS rebuild

Hi Lee, Like you are planning to do, I recently rebuilt an L-4PS that had been sitting idle for about 15 years. I used the Heathkit Ship kit and had excellent success. At the time I installed the Heathkit Shop board, I also replaced R-11, but not R-9 and R-10 as they looked in good condition.

[Drakelist] PTO Bearing Help

Greetings Drake aficionados, I have spent several hours trying to put the little bearings back into the front of a Drake C-Line PTO with no success. Is there a published procedure or trick for putting these bearings back in place? I have never seen it written up, or even discussed on this list,

[Drakelist] Value of RFC-6 in Drake TR-6?

Hello Drake Aficionados, Several minutes into testing a Drake TR-6, the plate supply choke, RFC-6, burned out and as a result there is no HV on the 6JB6s. All other functions in the TR-6 appear to be working as they should. I checked the 6JB6s on my tube tester and found one of them to be

[Drakelist] A Drake L-4B/L-4PS Cautionary Tale

Greetings Drake Aficionados, I have been working on refurbishing and updating a 1972 Drake L-4B since late March as time permits. This L-4B was a closet find and had not been in use for many years and has an unknown history. The L-4PS was updated in April with the Heathkit Shop L-4PSR power

Re: [Drakelist] AC-4R Rebuild Success

Hi Dino, Congrats on the AC-4R project. Call me paranoid, but this rebuild is the first thing I do when I get a new AC-4. I also upgrade the old two-wire power cord with a three-wire grounded cord for a little more peace of mind. I did the L-4PS upgrade several months ago using Mike Bryce's

[Drakelist] TR-4C XMTR Gain Problem

bands. The neutralization is good. Operating on SSB, CW and AM are all normal and sound good while listening on a second receiver. Other than this problem the TR-4C seems to be running well. Any words of wisdom out there on this problem? Thanks and happy new year to the Drakelist. Tom Delano

[Drakelist] Drake RV-4C Bulb Question

Hello Drake Aficionados, I recently purchased a late serial number Drake RV-4C and when I connected it to a TR-4 I noticed the dial lamp wasn't very bright. On further checking I found that the bulb was a #53 as called for in the schematic, but there is a 1 watt dropping resistor in series with
