My TR6 is #455, and has a handwritten note (in ink) on the front of the manual "Warranty Card Mailed 9-8-70". A second note in different handwriting says "Purchased Henry Radio 6-26-75". I have Drake repair invoices from two different owners dated 1977 and 1978. My RV6 is #127, and it appears to have been purchased seperately - I have no history on it other than the pair has been together at least since the apparent 3rd owner (SK) had them. There is also a note that the AC-4 was purchased 12-15-75. I'm the 5th owner of the pair. I have the names of the (apparent) second and third owners from the repair invoices, and the last owner is a friend of mine, but the original owner's name is lost in the mists of history at this point. There's a QST review on the Drake Museum site that has a date of July 1970 on page "57", so the 1970 note on my manual seems accurate. Hope this helps. 73 -Jim -- TR7/RV7, TR6/RV6, T4XC/R4C, L4B, NCL2000, SB104A, R390A, GT550A/RV550A, HyGain 3750, IBM PS/2 - all vintage, all the time!
