cleaning up L4B
posted few photos at
http://w5aj.eqth.net/drake/drake.htm
Observations:
The air cooling / fan is anemic
The plastic fan & metal hub can be rejoined with Gorilla EXPOXY Glue
The undated W5DDW fan article covers parts that are now obsolete.. even
blowerwheel dot com has no direct replacement
The amp hums bit loud on SSB position
The control/filament connector at back of the Amp section is amazing,
lasting 50+ years, difficult to push on, the connections are tight!
The connector for activating the amps T/R relay seems unique. None came
with this amp
For 50+ year old amp, not bad
Did I mention the cooling air is uninspiring..
