[Boatanchors] Drake 2-B refurb?

[Al Parker]

Hi Ian,
	<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DrakeRadio/> is the most (VERY) active, 
and a very good one, technically.  Little extraneous 'stuff'.
	Donnie Garrett is a good source of replacement parts for the 2 series. 
<http://www.2bradioparts.com/> including a filter cap module.
73,
