Now I'm home (and listening to R-4B #2, which is going to need to be
re-capped but is otherwise working in a sterling manner) and checked out the
info on the PBT assembly. It sounds pretty simple once the cover is
removed.
I'm now at the point with R-4B #1 where I feel that I owe it to the rig to
put it back - more or less - to the way Bob Drake intended it to be. That
means I'll need to re-route a new Injection cable inside the rig, as the PO
shortened it when he moved it over to the SPARE location (WHY he did this, I
will never know, and it's my understanding that he's an SK). The audio mods
I'll probably leave in, as the rig sounds nice and rich, but that variable
AGC delay is seriously messing up the ability to control RF gain. I think
I'll put a headphone jack where that extra goofy knob is as I have seen more
than a couple of B's that have had this change (in all honesty, moving the
headphone jack to the side wasn't a great move...)
Question here is this: what can I use for the internal cable in the R-4B to
go from the pre-mixer to the INJ jack? I will have to replace this since
the PO shortened it :-(

ROTHFLMAO!!! Made my day reading your softly worded post, Garey! Had to
clean up some coffee that squirted out, though. RTFCD and derivatives;
i.e., RTFIM, RTFD, etc., are most fun play words. :-))))
