"Don and Diana Cunningham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterence to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack, I noticed that John Kriner is selling some of the original Drake kits to change that 2 pin jack to regular phono jack to get rid of the problem of finding those 2 pin plugs. I don't remember if I can mention item numbers from the "E" place on here or not, so email me direct and I'll give you the item number so you can find them if interested. It contains the plate, screws, phono jack, etc to update them like Drake did. The connecting cables are easy to make, only one or two need to be "special". Look at Ron Baker's site ( www.wb4hfn.com ) and bet you will find a vendor that makes them. Hope that helps!! I guess I'll have my 4B line when I have an estate for sale!! Love them. 73, Don, WB5HAK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack Wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 8:49 PM Subject: [drakelist] Interconnecting cables
