Have a very nice Drake R4/T4X/ AC-4/ MS-4 all the gear is real clean and operates just fine. My question is why is the early 4 line gear worth next to nothing, when compared to the rest of the 4 line. I have owned a B-line,a C-line in the past ,both good performers,B being my choice between the two. I find the early 4 line performance ,from my ear and operation just as good as my B-line. Of course I never had the chance to run them side by side,and the mind can play tricks, they perform so close in real life operation,they seem almost the same to me. Watching QTH and Ebay I see the 4A and 4B gear go for twice the price all most all the time ,over the 4 gear. I realize that Drake made some mechanical and operational changes thru the years,but basic radio performance is not that different. I had a full Drake/Sherwood C line , and it was the BEST of the lot,but they will go for BIG $$$ used. I was just curious, so I thought I would as a few others opinions . thanks for reading. dale wt4t
