It probably wouldn't be that hard to include the R-7, since so much of the circuitry is similar. I'd buy it just for that R-7 portion.

I keep getting requests for a CD for the TR-7. I'm really not sure why, since the Drake Service manual is more than adequate for servicing these radios. There were 'lots' of requests for a CD for the R-4A / T-4X pair a few years ago, and against my better judgement I developed TWO CDs, one for each of the drastically different models of the R-4A. Approximately 20 copies have sold of both combined. So you can see why I'm a little gun-shy! :-) So. Being a little smarter (not much, I'm typing this...,) I'm asking for input on what YOU think should be included in a CD for the TR-7. The Drake manual already has complete parts lists, and photos of the boards with parts keyed to the list. Since I see this as the central value of MY CDs, I'm coming up short for something to differentiate MY CD from Drake's manual. Of course the other question would be what price range would you expect this CD to be in? The Drake Service Manual sells for about $50 these days, and there is an aftermarket CD version for about $10 and a print version for about $20. Consider that making a CD similar to the 4- Line CDs would require pretty much complete destruc.... er, dis-assembly of a TR-7. Thoughts??
