Get a good light, and maybe a magnfyer...and eyeball that 
baby...

You will see the issue, then you can fix it.

   A trick that can help. Use an ohm meter to find where 
its shorting. If nothing is evident on visual inspection 
stick a sheet of paper into each space until you find one 
that makes the short go away. If there is more than one 
shorted spot you may have to put several sheets of paper in. 
Usually, you will find that something is slightly bent or 
has arced or something has fallen into the plates.

It would be a help if you would give us a name and call if you have one so we 
can get to know you a little.  Also, it would help if we knew which Drake gear 
in specific that interests you.  There is a WIDE range of Drakes, so it helps 
to narrow down some.  There is a WEALTH of knowledge on this reflector that is 
readily shared, but help us some with specifics.
73 and welcome to the group,

Pat,
Try looking here for a lot of good data on the Drake radios.

http://www.dproducts.be/drake_museum/
http://www.wb4hfn.com/
http://www.zerobeat.net/
http://www.mail-archive.com/drakelist@zerobeat.net/

Those just come to mind, but there are others as well.

drake radio on google or youtube will also bring up a good selection of sites.

Those will likely get you a lot of good data.

And if you are a new ham, take a look around eham.com, qth.com, arrl.org, 
qsl.net to name a few.  Welcome.

73,
Ron WD8SBB
