"Ron Baker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Since I sent out this notice about my refurbishing article I have received well over 100 e-mails with questions. Because of the volume and time constraints I probably will not be able to respond back to everyone, but thank you for your great comments.
I do need to add a disclaimer in regard to the article. The refurbishing process is 99.9% technique, with a lot of cleaning methods developed over the last 30 or so years. For all those individuals who are thinking they can take their nice working Drake radio off the shelf, remove the case, and put it in a dish washer for 30 minutes, expecting to have a like new looking and still working radio, they are sadly mistaken. At best you will probably ruin the radio and likely do permanent damage. Leave the serious refurbishing and restoration work to those qualified. 73, Ron / WB4HFN -----Original Message----- From: Ron Baker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2007 1:11 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Drake Refurbishing All, some of you may know that I do refurbishing work on vintage Drake & Collins equipment.
