Hi Gary, Yup. It could have been installed by the owner. But being very near the end of the T-4X production run and based on the fact that it was converted from T-4 to T-4X right before the introduction of T-4XB, I wouldn't be surprised even if some of T-4XB parts were used in the factory.
It is totally unrelated, but I need to thank you, Gary. I've recently replaced the soup can filter in my TR-3 with a pair of blue Tyco filters of TR-4. Your pictures and documentation helped a lot!

Drake sold lots of newer knobs to be installed on earlier equipment. The snap rings simply slides over the PTO shaft and can be placed anywhere. I have converted some back to the original fluted knob. 73, Gary http://home.roadrunner.com/~w8pu/ _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
