Hi Don,
I own Drake R-4C serial number 29426 & T-4XC serial number 30157 both in mint
condition.
Anyone have any later units?
73, Bob VE3XM

This Ebayer, to say it as nicely as possible, certainly stretches the truth
to the limit in his descriptions. He says this R4C is the latest batch, while
I have serial number 29029 sitting here in front of me, quite a bit later than
the number he is selling, and WB4HFN's site has documented serial number 29270
which is MUCH later than mine!! Such omissions would lead me to not want to
deal with him!

my own observations have shown that almost all the bad feedback this guy
has had on eBay and the forums are stateside buyers. then the majority of the
foreign buyers have had very good luck. i have seen for my self listing that
say mint, beautiful and perfect. then the photos of the item tell a much
different story. i have even asked questions about items they list with no
reply. so to each his own. i think i would chose not to deal with someone who
has pissed that many people off.

I have John's good experience with him too. I have dealt three times with
Radiomart at eBay and I have no complains. He also answered my questions
promptly. I am more sensitive to problems then you because I am in
Brazil,
where import is extremely regulated. However he followed my shipping
instructions to the letter and I had no issue with customs.
The only remark - not necessarily bad - is that he apparently strip out
every equipment's accessory and sell them separately. It was so with the
Drake 2A that I purchased at ebay. The xtal calibrator was removed and
sold
in another auction.
He sells tons of equipment and I guess problems may occur.

Assunto: Re: [Drakelist] R4C
I have had only one transaction with Radiomart and it was perfectly
successful.He offered a Drake RV7 in his usual glowing language. I asked a
question which was promptly answered and then bid and won it.
The RV7 was packed carefully and shipped quickly.
On opening the box I found that the condition exceeded the glowing "sales
language" and indeed it was just like new and worked beautifully.
The R4C he now offers does look newer in the photographs than any I have
seen,and certainly better than the two very excellent units I used to own.
I have read of his bad transactions but think some are inevitable when
reselling second hand equipment.I used to sell some locally in Northern
Ireland about 30 years ago and was caught out a few times-usually with
"like
new" linears and ATU's with burned out switch contacts caused by hot
switching.
The important thing is that, when there are problems,things are put right
with the customer promptly. That is just good business! John GI3KDR
