Maybe she/he(?) is smarter then I thought. Look at all the free publicity they are getting, hi!

Re: [drakelist] Vintage Unused R-4B on eBay
Do we really care about this?? I've never seen this much attention given to an item that is misrepresented at a HamFest ... If you want to buy it, then bid. Otherwise, get over it.

Re: [drakelist] Vintage Unused R-4B on eBay
Sure we care dude! We are 'into' vintage Drake radio equipment. When we see something stupid on e-Bay it causes a reaction by those who are in the know. If you can't handle that, then get over it. There is another R-4B on e-Bay in mint (or whatever) condition. I guess so, once you get past the rust, the dings and the dents. This is all great fun! --- On Tue, 7/15/08, Dave White [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Dave White [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [drakelist] Vintage Unused R-4B on eBay To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Received: Tuesday, July 15, 2008, 10:40 AM Do we really care about this??

[drakelist] TR7 Parts
Fellas, aside from the R4B blatant false advertizing that has taken up so much air time, I see that a pair of side trim panels for a TR7 has been bid up to $45 with several minutes to go on epay. I continue to be amazed at how demand can run prices up. I'm now convinced that owning any Drake radio is an investment. So, next time your xyl says too many black boxes, just say you own them for her benefit, not yours. That ought to keep them quiet.or at least cause for pause. Good investing !! and 73's David wd9cmd

[EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Funny thing about it is that one of our list members offers brand-new repros of the side panels for $5/pr ! 1st-rate pieces as well.
