AirRadio [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Hmmm, should read ''from my personal collection the finest (junk) I've seen (in the dark) and only just working (not tested by me of course) items that I want to palm off on unsuspecting epayer'' personally I would never buy from that seller, I have bought a couple of items from him and everytime I regretted it. NEVER, NEVER again. If you look back at recent sales he has bought the item maybe 3 weeks previous and then resells it, he has other names as well. you'll work it out. just my personal observations you understand. 73 Max - Original Message - From: john [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 1:21 PM Subject: Re: [drakelist] WTB: MN-4 or MN-2000 john [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- from my PERSONAL COLLECTIONthe finest I've seen ..

Garey Barrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- I hope this isn't going to deteriorate into another 50 messages about what a bad guy he is... Obviously he has been less than honorable in some of his descriptions, but with over 6000 transactions he still has less than 3% dissatisfied customers. Most businesses would kill for a reputation like that. It's obvious he sells AND buys on EBay, and definitely has a hucksters talents, not to mention an ad-writer's expertise. The fact is that he offers a LOT of Drake gear, and has done the work of unearthing it and placing it where someone who might want it can find it. Like it or not, this is probably the biggest single factor in the success of EBay. Most people don't have the time to search for the one item they want by going to garage sales, hamfests, flea markets and/or watching EBay minute by minute. Personally, I have bought two or three items from him, and while I admit I was careful to ask for and receive his high resolution photos of the only equipment I bought from him, and specifically confirmed that the item in the photo was the item I was bidding on, I found him quick to respond to messages. After the auction, I paid, the item was packed properly and shipped promptly. The other items were smaller, less complicated, but again were as described, packed properly and shipped promptly. Perhaps I've just been lucky, but I can't complain. Regardless, I think there have been enough dire warnings to caution anyone who might be tempted to deal with him, to be careful.

[drakelist] WTB: R4C or complete C Line
Hello Drakelist I am interested in purchasing a collector condition R4-C (or complete C Line) for personal collection and use. If you know anyone interested in selling please let me know. I suspect listing this request on the Drakelist is a bit humorous since we are probably all looking for such equipment however.thought I would give it a try anyway.

Re: [drakelist] WTB: MN-4 or MN-2000
Donley [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- I hate to jump on the bandwagon and become one of the additional 50 messages but want to add some more information. The seller in question has a feedback score of over 6,100. His actual positive feedback numbers are over 10,600. This means he has had many repeat customers who were obviously satisfied and whose second or third positive feedback reports do not count toward the feedback score. I have bought a couple of items from him and have been satisfied, but I was always skeptical of his claims. Ebay allows only one positive from a buyer to apply to the feedback score. If a buyer left positive feedback for a first purchase and was unhappy with a second purchase, I don't know how ebay would record that second purchase if the buyer left a negative response. In any case, the positive score is much higher than 6,100. Just my two cents.

[drakelist] Drake transmatch---Thanks
My earlier request for an MN-4 or MN-2000 resulted in two transmatches of good quality being available. I do want to apologize for how the topic has gotten out of hand with comments about a certain seller (no I was not associated with that seller). I just want to point out that sometimes two hams have different perspectives as to condition of a piece of equipment and pictures and descriptions do not always translate in a clear understanding. I am sorry this got off topic but in the same vein want to promote the use of the DRAKE GRADING STANDARD to communicate with either the buyer or seller. _http://www.zerobeat.net/drakelist/drakegrading.html_ (http://www.zerobeat.net/drakelist/drakegrading.html) In my case the ham was gentleman enough to allow me to return the unit for full refund no questions asked after receiving a note with my concerns. I am sorry this discussion digressed but so pleased with the list responding with some quality units. 73s Alan KB7MBI Woodinville, WA **Start the year off right.

Never really thought about it, but the 400 Series connectors are only rated to 250VAC, so I guess it wouldn't take much moisture. The REAL Cinch-Jones connectors are a true bakelite body, while the Molex versions are a thermosetting plastic. Yeah, go figure. I plugged my NCL2000 into the same source and it ran like a champ, so it likely wasn't a problem with the house wiring. I quadruple checked all the wiring, everything was fine, the L4B had been power-up tested on 120v without issues. When I said specatcular, I wasn't kidding. Flames shot out of the connector on the end of the PS-to-RF deck cable. I didn't intend to cast aspersions on Jones connectors, they really are quite good. 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C TR7/RV7, TR6/RV6, T4XC/R4C, L4B, NCL2000, SB104A, R390A, GT550A/RV550A, HyGain 3750, IBM PS/2 - all vintage, all the time!
