Re: Need Crystal freq. for 28.5 mhz in TR4C
Greg:
The TR-4C was originally supplied with a 43.0 Mhz xtal for
that range. Back in the '70's there was far more activity above 28.5
than there is now.?
The 42.5 Mhz xtal for 28.0 - 28.6 (+++) coverage was optional, as
was the 43.6 Mhz xtal for 29.1-29.7 Mhz.
If you look at the pictorial of the chassis top in the manual, you
will see the xtal positions marked.

Re: Large amount of Drake gear in latest Schulman web auction
There is a guy near me who always has a number of Drakes and other vintage
gear on his EBay page.? I often wonder where he finds all this stuff
locally as I seldom hear about it being offered.? I’ve seen him at the
local swap meets and he runs around and grabs all kinds of gear just to
re-sell.? I have too much gear as it is, but not too worried about thinning
out the collection just yet.? It should be interesting to see how hamfests
recover once we can return to that posture.

Re: Large amount of Drake gear in latest Schulman web auction
At one of the last Denver area hamfests I went to many classic vintage radios went unsold , however during the last hour of the event you could get a really great deal on many classic Drake, Heath, Hammarlund and so forth just by waiting around.? Finding the buyers is an issue to these days as many hams have know idea what vintage gear is all about.?? Myron KL7YY
I wouldn;t say so much work as time?involved in packing and selling radios.? Packing supplies aren't that much and shipping through UPS/FEDEX are reasonable?if you get an account with them to receive reduced rates.? Us Old Farts seem to have an excess of time in between our?daily naps.? I sell most of my excess ham gear on the 3, QRZ, Eham, & QTH websites and local ham club swaplists. So far I have been avoiding ebay to sell although I do buy there.??
Myron KL7YY
It’s a lot of work to sell radios. Just packing and boxing ?! ?eBay takes %20 ? I would say if you could get 1/2 price of value of radios and don’t have to do anything take it !? No packing shipping etc .? 73s ?Byron AC9PA? This must be a last resort way of unloading years of boat anchor radio equipment.? Wouldn't think you would get as many dollars from the auction? process as you would through individual local or ham website sources.? What kind of fees are charging using the Schulman Auction???
Myron KL7YY Yep us old farts ! I two years ago had over 30 working radios and 20 parts radios ! I’m down to 3 radios !? Had to help a sk wife cleanup ! He had 200 items or more ! Don’t want my kids to go through that .? It woke me up!? I still have a room 18x18 full but most of it will be easy to get someone to take it .
