Fellow Drake fans --

I am almost done redoing the 2-B that I'm going to keep and need to move the others along.? They are as described:

2-B No. 1, Mostly Complete.? It receives but haven't tested how well.? Chassis good compared with most (some spots).? Slug carriage doesn't want to move when knob is attached.? Missing dial cord and the pointer for same.? All the tubes are with it.?Q Mult connector was scavenged but I have a replacement that's close that I will include. Crystals for 20 and 10 (2) only.? I was going to keep this for parts but it will make a good receiver if you have the right parts and metalworking skills.?$75 + shipping.?

2-B No. 2.? Complete and aligned.? All tubes screened with Hickok 6000B and weak ones were replaced.? Works great and comes with the calibrator.? Chassis was cleaned and probably a 7/10, with some spotting.? Has crystals that were provided by factory.? $200 plus shipping.

2-BQ Q Multiplier.? Works fine.? Cabinet has some rust and could stand a repaint.? Aligned.? These things make what is already a surprisingly good (for 1962) CW receiver into an excellent receiver.? $80 plus shipping.

2-AC Calibrator.? Works with 2-A, 2-B, 2-C.? works great. $75 plus shipping.

I use Pirate Ship, so shipping rates are pretty reasonable.? I prefer a cheque or PP F&F.? If I know you from? being on here, we're good with personal cheques.? Unlike if I sell them on that auction site, I stand behind these amongst the folks on this reflector.

I'm clearing some space so I can do some woodworking again :-)

COMING SOON: I have two R-4A's (one 11-tube and one 13-tube).? They're working but I haven't tested them yet.? The 11-tube one has a dead AC switch that I'll bypass.? Seem to be working on all bands.? If you're interested, let me know and/or make offers.? They're in decent shape but not museum quality by any stretch.

I will also have either a 2-BQ or a 2-AQ.? I'm torn because the -AQ is in better shape but has the smaller speaker.??

More to come.? Like I said, clearning some stuff out and I will be also using the money to buy a new "modern" rig to replace my K3/P3...

73,
