"Jim Pruitt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Kriner still works for Drake or did a year ago.
He bought a large amount of the surplus parts that Drake was dumping about 7 years ago. Steve Morgan, K8FFO had a bunch of it and the Drake club at Drake got a bunch of it. I have not seen Steve selling anything since John started so John is mostly the only source of large amounts of NOS Drake parts. As mentioned earlier he is also a Drake repair tech for himself as a side business. These new parts were what was left in Drakes parts shelves when they discontinued service/support for the 4 line and then the 7 line. For a year or so Drake was selling those parts to us through their website at about 25 cents on the dollar and then Steve, the Drake club, and John bought what was left. I will also echo the fact that John is a great guy to deal with and will do you right. Thank you.

( i hope not) but I have purchased from him, and he seams pretty good to deal with, no problems here.

It's one of the stores on Ebay called "The Man's Amateur Parts Supply." The owner, someone called TR7dude, has at least 10 pages of parts listed, with photos. The "Buy It Now" prices aren't all that bad, even. For those of you looking for PCB's for a TR7 or a hard to get Drake crystal, this may be just the thing to get some of those rigs back on the air. You may all already know about this guy - I can hardly believe he's got such a large supply of unused parts - Where did he get this stuff? 73 Terry K7WLD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
