[Drake] R-4A problem

[Al Parker]

hi Mac,
    Check the VFO/xtal switch on the left side by the external xtal
socket.  Could have gotten moved, cantacts could be dirty.
    Otherwise, ck the "B+" to the VFO, it comes off the VR tube (110v?)
and is dropped by a 4.7k 5w resistor to around 10v.
    Hope this does it.
73,
