Hi Bob,
What do you mean by doesn't work? My T-4XC with the L4B is pretty
"heavy-handed". Just a slight advance of the L4B's gain control
drops the pwr output big time. Almost makes me think the pot isn't
linear. Makes it really tuff to find that sweet-spot. I typically
leave the ALC line unplugged and watch the scope.

I have 173 crystals for the R4C radio. All but 6 or 7 crystals
had drifted over 5 khz. The rest had drifted 2,3 or 4 khz. No dead
crystals. I no longer have any Drake equipment sorry to say. Rather
than sell these crystals off piece by piece I would take offers on
the whole lot. I will send any interested party an inventory list.
Please contact me off the list. Doug SWL

Just curious (in your opinion perhaps)....was Drake purchased as an
investment by B-T or just to get the name and get
them out of the competitive way?? Maybe this is the way of
business, but it would seem a bit expensive to buy them out
just to put them out of business??
So I suppose my theory that Drake would buy out Palstar (located
just up the road in Piqua, Ohio) and make a triumphant
return to the amateur radio market.
Yes I know, dream on. Sorry to see the demise of Drake. Wonder
what Bob Drake would say about this turn of events??!?
Thanks Bill for the bits of Drake history that you have shared with
the list. VERY much appreciated!!

Hello,
Drake hasn't been Drake as you guys knew Drake for a long time. ?
The company was mainly producing video and cable
head
end products, see their web-site. ?Amateur radio manufacturing and
or service was history, long gone, even with the
production of the R-8 series receivers, SW-8 etc. ?The company was
sold, sold again, and recently sold again to
Blonder-Tongue another video and cable product manufacture, This
company was Drakes largest competitor and is located
in New Jersey, see their web-site. Most of the Drake employees
were slowly let go, from the top down, all except for a
few from sales, engineering and one guy from service. ?These
people will move to Springboro Pike, there will be NO
manufacturing at this building, save for what engineering builds,
manufacturing will be done in New Jersey or ????.
?The Drake name will be used on some products built by Blonder-
Tongue as the name Drake is well known in the video
and
cable head-end market. ? This is ONLY what I have heard !!!
73, Bill

I'm sorry but who said that? Who said Drake was moving
manufacturing offshore? Nothing in the previous messages said
they were moving offshore or lost their moral compass. I believe
previous messages indicated this IS a local move and
KEEPING the existing numbers.

Off to slav
e labor in China most likely. The businesses that had a conscience
have all lost it or been killed off.

The Drake web site gives a new address in Miamisburg.? When you
Google the address, a 7500 sq.ft. office building
comes >up.? Is there more to this than just moving??

I have a T-4XB and can?t get the AGC to work while running the L-4B.
Tried different power supply's and different 12ax7 tubes, but no
joy. Any
suggestion? Thanks L-4B AGC works with my C-Line.
