I have two Drake RCS-4 switch units and three control heads for sale. One
was originally purchased by me in the late 70's and may have a bad component in
the control head. One control head and switch checked out okay a few years ago
but I am selling all "as is". I used the one I bought for
t. Drake gear is pretty rugged as you know so it should be
amenable to being serviced and cleaned. Let me know if you get it
going.

Finally got the switch box apart. Have to replace all the external screws. even with
penetrating oil I was only able to remove one without snapping the head off, or having to grind

Always use lock washers under those nylon insert nuts. I have seen many
come loose over the years.

careful of the phenolic board the strips are made out of, it can be

Loren, the best penetrating oil I have ever found is
Kroil. You can generally get it at sporting goods stores,
such as Midway USA. I have used it succes
t and have worked on it a bit.
Do you have specific questions?

I, too, have had one in use for years - the wireless type. The external
unit was sealed with the silicon caulking used ariund tubs. Never a
problem. They are really nice gems. I'd like a two position one if anyone
has one.

the transformer may have burned out in my original. It is slow in extremely
cold wx but still works fine.

Hello everyone,
I just acquired an RCS-4 antenna switch that works. Does anyone have any
advice
on whether I need to lube the drive motor, and if so, what to use, and how to
do
it? Any other advice on other items I should be concerned about?
Thanks and 73
