I often wonder what that is all about. I have not seen that on other, original, Drake manuals. Has anyone else? I guess that it could be cut up for dials.

I've pasted in the URL for what looks to be a current offering for the TR-3/4 series (looks like a strip for the meter, and another 'swatch' for the dial). I actually had this tagged in listings I was following, but haven't ordered yet, so I can't comment on quality/color match etc, but the listing reads very well for Drake gear. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330361920334&ssPageName=S TRK:MEWAX:IT Phil, WA2CLX ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 20:24:50 -0500 From: "Jim Shorney" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Drakelist] Lighting Filters Blue?

It's anyone's guess if they are still available these days, but a double layer of the blue was a pretty close match to the Drake. The red looked nice in my HR2510. If you've got a theater supply or light & sound shop in your area, you could check for the Lee gels there. 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.S.A.

You might want to search the Drakelist archives, this subject has been discussed pretty much to the point of achieving "deceased equine" status. ;) 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.S.A.

As most of use has witnessed over the years with age the blue filter material would fade in the area of the #47 lamp and the white plastic dial background would yellow. The result was a green colored dial background. The S meter would appear as no filter was installed at all because of the fading, just colorless lamp light. 73, Gary W8PU http://home.roadrunner.com/~w8pu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Cc: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I'll have to see if I can find some pix of mine when they were new. Mine is as you describe with the meters looking white and the dials green. And the filter material appears blue from the back. I very clearly rmember it as being green when new however--maybe I'm finally losing it ;) Wish I had a dollar for every mile I have spun the tuning dials on this pair! Still working well and getting great on-air reports. JUST replaced the original finals a couple months ago. The old ones still worked just a little soft.
