[Drake-Radios] The C-line rides
again!
 


Hello,

 

I feel a bit like I did back in 1979 when I first got on the
air. With the kind and knowledgeable assistance of many of you guys, I have
restored my
T-4XC.

 

In this project, I cleaned up the chassis, rebuilt a can
capacitor, verified the power supply, cleaned all the wafer switches,
replaced a couple components and tubes, and aligned and adjusted
everything.

 

This evening I got it on the air, and had a blast making a
few contacts, though I did not hear anybody working the Classic Exchange
contest. One gentleman heard me discussing my need for a replacement meter
shunt resistor and said he would send me one in tomorrow's mail. Another
gentleman from our Drakelist is sending me a knob to replace the one that
snapped in
half.

 

My thanks to all of you, and if I can't buy you a cup of
coffee or a beer in the future, that I will "pay it forward" to
another
ham.

 

73,
