I plan to buy an AC4R kit for my Drake AC-4 power supply. I did not know about the color differences with the different models, but I do not see a problem as a power supply normally is not that complicated. Anyone who can read schematics should have no problem. I am just glad someone is filling this niche market as I do not like to do things from scratch if I do not need to.
