----------------------------------------------------------------------
Last month at our clubs monthly breakfast the ham sitting next to me
asked if I knew anyone interested in a Drake 6 Meter radio. I told him
I was and that I had been looking for one for some time that I could
afford. He said that he had one that he bought a while back and had
never even tried out and that it was in storage. I asked how much he
wanted for it and he said I could have it for what he had paid for it,
$50.00. He said he just wanted to get rid of it because he had too much
stuff in paid storage. I of course told him I would buy it even though
I had not seen it. Well today we went over to his storage unit and I
loaded it into my car and gave him the $50 for the rig. I had
originally thought I was only buying a TR-6, nothing else. I haven't
tested it out yet but here is what I got for the $50. The TR-6 in very
good physical and cosmetic condition sn.#570 with the noise blanker.
The RV-6 in very good physical and cosmetic condition sn.#065 with the
AC-3 power supply. The original Drake manual for the TR-6 with the
purchase date of Oct. 18, 1974 and the serial number written inside the
front cover. I don't have a lot of money and can't compete with the
guys that can just write a check for just about anything they want.
Sometimes we just get lucky. I just wanted to share my joy with the
rest of the group. This will pretty much complete the major Drake items
I wanted for my Drake station and will compliment my R-4C, T-4XC, R-4B,
and AC-4. The only other semi-major item I need is the noise blanker
for my R-4C. I am hoping I can locate one this next year.
I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year.
73's, Al, n7ioh
