I'd say that style two is the newer one. When Drake went from the A- to the
B-Line Twins, the B's also have the skirted dial.

The flat plate was from the TR-4. The 'dished' plate started with the 'TR-4B' (NOT an 'official'

Your radio is a Version 2, probably built mid 1966.
Drake switched from 12BA6 to 6BA6 in Version 5, (4/68,) and to 6BZ6 in
Version 6, (10/68,) at V5.
12BA6 to 12BZ6 in Version 4, (9/67,) and to 6BZ6 in Version 5, (4/68,)
at V11.
V12 and V15 were 12BA6's for the entire production.
Kevin,
You will likely find that the schematic you have in your manual probably
doesn't match the rig you have. Also, the manuals changed slowly, if at all,
during the life, only the schematics changed. Garey will have all the

Guy,
If you leave it on top, just put little feet on the fan to keep it from
scraping the finish. You can also use grommets for spacers and small cable
ties on the back of the final cage. You don't need a lot of air (aka noisy fan)
just something to move the air a little.

Current is half, and you may find regulation is better. If your Drake
