Curt,
Well, certainly a vaild staement in general..BUT.
The r-4c Sherwood is still quieter than my 746 PRO was and my TT Orion
II is.
Still kind of like the analog dial too...very fast to move or very
slow...all without any buttin pushing.
Every now & then...I will ONLY use my C line and L-4B for a whole week
end...Not even turn on the TT OII and Alpha amp...
well..it's fun and it is VERY effective stilll today.
All great radios today.
73,
Lee

Hi Darryl:
I like that approach. No question that the mods make the C a better
radio. As long as a person understands what the final product is going
to be, then go for it. The performance margin that the Sherwood mods
offered over comparably priced SS rigs of the day is no longer valid.
Whatever the bench work indicates, there is NO performance comparison,
all around, to a modern $1200 radio. (Of course, anything I can "hear"
on the 746pro or TS2000, or whatever, I surely can hear also on the
R4a---but that is NOT what the mods were all about)
I am one that will indeed make minor mods to help in small
ways..especially heat related, for durability or availability of parts.
( The AC-4 mods as example) Mine are not museum pieces, but user rigs
like Gary mentions and are mostly stock. A line, B line, TR-3,4,7.
They are what they are and a pleasure to use as is.

Well I will say it just like my two 56 chevys one bone stock plane 235
inline six with three on the tree to my Loving hot rod with a 383
stroker and nitros injection. the best of both worlds. as to Drake I
have a plane Jane B line , a plane Jane C line and a hot rod fully
moded R4C (over$1800 in mods and filters) and love to play with em
both. You can have your cake and eat it too. Just my 2 cents 73s Darryl
