Hi all,
Don't know if I've already asked this one, but, here goes:

I bought a Drake C line a month ago and used it a while.  All of a sudden, 
the transmitter's power supply went bad; developed quite a hum and made the 
relay chatter.  Would not transmit.

So I swapped it out for another Drake power supply that I had been using on 
a TR4.  It worked find for a while and then did the same thing.  Now both 
power supplies on both radios do the same thing no matter how I swap them 
around.

Took one apart tonight and found a couple shorted rectifier diodes. 
Replaced them but did not solve the problem.

Anybody have any suggestions?  Thank you much, anyone.
