[Drake] Drake 2B Receiver

[Rolf G. Schroeder]

Hi to all,
the Drake 2B is my first boatanchor that I lay my hands on. The
receiver is receiving in principle, after retuning the coils of the
crystal mixer, I have a signal on all bands and frequency accuracy of
the dial is about +/- 10Khz. Now for the questions: while having
considerable negative voltage between the test point and ground on 40m
(-200mV) and 20m (~ -100mV) there are positive voltages for 15m and 10m
- although the crystal oszillator seems to oscillate. Is there anybody
to give me some hints on how to proceed. B.T.W I am already looking for
crystals to receive the 49m band, 30m, 17m and 12m (there are so many
empty sockets in the receiver). Thanks a lot for hints and tips
