[Boatanchors] Drake 2B

[GAREY - K4OAH]

Hi John -

Yeah, but the HX-20 is such a good physical match, and put the PS under the desk.  I used that pair for a couple of years just before the 4 Line came out.  I resisted the urge to paint it black!  :-)

I have a 2-B and HX-20, but want to redo the HX-20 before I to put it on the air.  I need the tapped bleeder resistor to finish up the HP-20.

73, Garey - K4OAH
