Re: [Drakelist] t4x case type
i need to start saving the trivia facts. this same question has been asked many times over i am sure. thanks On Fri, Dec 26, 2008 at 12:22 AM, Garey Barrell k4...@mindspring.comwrote: Carey - In my experience, Drake started using a spatter finish on the version 3 of the R-4A, which was well into the T-4X production.

Re: [Drakelist] t4x case type
A correction to my earlier post. My early R4-B has the spattered not the textured finish. This is consistent with Garey's statement on the crossover point from smooth to textured.

Re: [Drakelist] t4x case type
Smooth. The Polane paint jobs came later, I think it started with the C line.

Re: [Drakelist] t4x case type
My R-4A, T-4X and MS-4 are not textured. I bought them new and still have them. BTW, for my $, the R-4A is the best sounding receiver of the entire line.
