Subject: [drakelist] TR-4 Status


Good morning to all,

Thanks to all who responded to my request yesterday for a LSB filter for the
TR-4 I had just obtained. The situation had changed. To review, yesterday
afternoon I received an inoperative TR-4 that I was told just had the LSB
filter removed to repair another functional TR-4. When I opened it up last
night I discovered the entire filter "soup can" is missing along
with a 12BA6
(I haven't checked to see if I have one). The filter selector switch appears to
be intact and the leads to the filter are still neatly hanging where the can
should be located. I have never worked on a TR-4 so I don't know exactly what
the can and mounting hardware look like. The picture in the manual isn't very
helpful.

In light of the above development I now need the entire soup can, any mounting
hardware, and both the USB and LSB filters. Does anybody have the entire unit
available? If not, do you have the can and mounting hardware? I can contact
others who responded yesterday and offered one/both filters.

It has been suggested by more than one respondent that I use INRAD filters as
they are much better. I do agree but at $110 apiece I would be putting $220
into a radio that is known to be inoperative for unknown reasons and still
require troubleshooting. What is the going price for a working TR-4 in good
condition, maybe $300?

Thanks for any and all assistance and/or advice.
