Re: [Drakelist] New Toys!
No, the panel builder quit. I guess he either felt he had made what people wanted or just had a day job and got tired of it. That burnout is what gets most of them, unfortunately. If it's a nice R4B, put a hole plug in it temporarily and keep an eye out for a unit that's parted out. 73, Don, WB5HAK___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
[Drakelist] New Toys!
By B-Line arrived today. So far, I've fired up the R-4B and it sounds great. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the "extra" knob in the pic when I bought this thing - it appears the previous owner put in a pot and circuit to tap the 50 kc IF for a panadaptor or somesuch. Is there still "that guy" out there making repro B-Line front panels? I'll probably return this to stock as it's definitely worth restoring. The T-4XB looks nice but I want to go through it more thoroughly before "smoke testing" it. I'm also going to need to replace all the cabinet screws - fairly normal stuff.
