Subject: RE: [drakelist] AC-4 Cap values

points I
noted above.   That would 





have produced a significant reduction in the =
capacitor
surge current at 





turn-on.   Chokes
would also =
have been
more effective in reducing the 





ripple you originally saw on the =
outputs.   





I'm naturally assuming, of course, that you =
do
intend to reduce power 





supply outputs down to their specified =
voltage
levels. 





I haven't intended to sound critical of your
modification efforts here, Carl.





Moreso, I am critical that Drake didn't =
put choke
filtered supplies in this





equipment.   I would sure have =
liked my
T-4XB/R-4B's AC-4 to have been





choke filtered.   (Guess they =
figured the
cost of the choke, a place to put it,





and also a slight change in the secondary =
output
winding in the power





transformer secondaries would cost too much =
to add
into the equipment





price.





 





Anyhow, and Meanwhile, back at the Ranch
(as "they" say,
somewhere)





keep up the good work, and keep us =
posted.
