"It's like jacking up a Jeep and putting a Corvette engine, transmission and wheels under it. What you end up with is neither a Jeep nor a Corvette, but a collection of parts."
But it might just create a tool that performs an intended purpose better than either original...and perhaps better than any other Off the Shelf tool. I think is an interesting approach...not every piece of Drake equipment has to be maintained in original configuration. Many of these additions were things that Drake would have added had they continued in the business.
If approaches like this were never taken, the highly sought after Sherwood Drakes would not be so popular. Finally, using an old Drake in upgraded form beats having it sit on some shelf only being used as a B or C rig because it isn't quite up to the technical challenge of some of todays operating.
