Re: Drake T-4XB rubber feet

Hi Gary:
Interesting!? I only ever had one brand new 4-line...a C-line.....purchased at the Hamburg, NY hamfest from AES in the fall of 1974.? I sold it two years later after getting married and moving into a small apartment.? There wasn't room to set up a C-line!? Obviously, I now wish I had not done that!? I have had my current C-line since the mid-90's.? I was present when?a friend purchased the R-4C and FS-4 in 1979, and I purchased it from him about 1995.
I don't recall having to install those larger rubber bumpers on the button?of the cabinet but, assuming both the B and C-line manuals are correct, they were NOT installed at the factory.? My memory is not good enough to recall whether mine were there already, or if I installed them, but now I am guessing the latter.? No wonder so many are missing from today's relics!

I never had a brand new 4 Line but the manual says you need to "snap" in the supplied press fit rubber bumpers.
Probably more would have survived if the factory installed them!
