[Boatanchors] Swan - Drake

[Michael Harley]

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your collective answering my Question on the Swan -Drake connection. I have two Swan 350's (but only one power supply since I blew up the main transformer in the other one) I converted my first 350 over to a pair of 8950's instead of the original 6HF5's about 25 years ago so have had a long history with Swan.
I was looking at a Drake picture web site the other day and came across a photo of the Drake R-4C and was taken by just how close they looked with the horizontal line drawn across between the top and bottom of the face and how it dipped down in a "U" shape around the main tuning dial.
 I spoke to Barry Goldwater (Callsign lost in the foggy past now) back in the 1960's when he was running for the US Presidency on my Swam 350 but never exchanged cards due to being mobile at the time.
Thanks for your help guys and keep the filaments glowing.
    73's,Michael Harley
