Yep, I've seen that guy too. Some people will stoop so low as to pimp
working radios just for a buck. Sad, but there's always folks who take a
mercenary approach.
The best bet is to not buy from the guy, and hope he stews in a sea of
chopped up radios.

Fellow Drake pals
I was on our favorite un-auction site looking for a fan for my PS-7 and
our favorite collector and seller of "collector quality" Drake and Collins
gear not only had a fan, but was bragging about parting out a working
TR-7. I don't know what would make someone who collects or sells vintage
radios try and profit more from the parts than a working radio and
bragging about it, but it bothered me enough that I had to say
something. I have a lot of pride from restoring an old wreck of a vintage
Drake radio like many of you do and it is a lot of work. While I am
trying to give new life to one of them, this guy is killing them and
selling the organs. Sorry for venting, but I really enjoy reading the
e-mails and looking at the struggles many of us have trying to restore and
use Drake equipment and helping each other. I hope you all know who I am
talking about and avoid giving him any credibility by purchasing from
him. There, I feel a lot better.
Thanks
