This was the successor to the Hallicrafters BC-610. The TMC GPT-750 is really the sucessor to this, at least the AM version.
The RCA AR-88, CRM R6A, Racal M-17, MacKay 3010C all weigh in at 100 lbs, the drake is a featherweight.

Good Day all, I'm new here and just wanted to say Hi!
I have always wanted an old boat anchor radio since
getting first licensed about 20yrs ago. I found an old
Drake TR4C at an acceptable price on ebay and purchased it
and have made a few contacts? CW with the rig. The radio
is very nice and all that I had expected it to be. She is
going off for a "full service" tune up and having a new
faceplate put on since the prior owner drilled a hole it
it.? When it's back, I hope to work some of you Drake to
Drake CW. Do you guys have a favored calling frequency on 40?
Thanks again.
Rich
