Mikethanks to you and other Drakers for posting
Sounds like it's time to get the Discovery Channel to
sponser a diving expedition to recover those radios! (like they did with Gus
Grissom's Liberty Bell) The documentary would be fantastic; at least to those of
us on this list :-)

Jim,
Early TR-4's had this pot/switch combination
for using the plate meter for relative output. Later TR-4C's used a fixed
resistor and a switch on the LOAD control.

The labeling around the switch made my old mind
remember, Jim. The meter reads plate current normally, but when you push
the switch in, it read relative output power. Nothing calibrated about it,
mind you, just relative. I remember it was an "art" to be able to push the

Not many TR-5s were made which is why the price is higher. It was nota dependable a rig as the TR-7 and runs less power. Nevertheless, it i s still a soughtafter piece. I am fortunate enough to have the TR-5, PS-75 and L-75, all in above average condition and working well.

What is the story with the tr-4 meter control
between the Plate and Load controls. I had a tr-4 and I don't remember this
being there. I have seen pictures of some that do and some that
don't.

Jim,
It appears that there were only about 500 of them
produced, so I guess not many of them to find, hi. I have one too that I
need to get repaired, since they are so valuable, hi.

Jim, the TR5 is a fine radio and works well
and was to be the solid state replacement for the TR4 series. I think
the reason for the high value is its a rare item to find. Drake only
manufactured 517 units, as compared to around 3000 or more
TR7's. Of those 517 TR5's built we believe

you attribute this?
