[AMRadio] For Sale: Drake 1A Receiver with Synchronous AM

[Freeberg, Scott (STP)]

For sale:  
Drake 1A:  incredibly rare receiver, WWV version.  Alot of corrosion (and I can't emphasize this enough) on chassis top, oddly enough chassis bottom looks brand new with bright and shiny copper, repainted cabinet, original knobs with exception of main tuning knob, which oddly enough fits properly, is sized properly, looks good,  and has a small finger indent, it doesn't match the main tuning knob on my other 1A or of any other 1A's I've seen but it makes me wonder a bit.  Front panel has corrosion, rear panel has corrosion.  I believe radio is complete.  I've never powered it up though the ham I bought it from said it was working for him, which to me simply means it may or may not work now but should be complete, sold as-is.  $225 plus shipping

Now what the heck is synchronous AM?  Its in the original magazine advertisements.  This was a pioneer SSB/CW receiver technically without an AM mode, so Drake claimed it had 'synchronous AM' which means you zero beat the AM station :)))))

I accept PayPal, money order, certified check.
