This may not be the exact description of a boatanchor, but someone on this
list may want it, and I would appreciate it if somebody would forward to the
Drake list.
For sale, Drake R8 receiver, known to have one problem, otherwise in good
condition.
The USB position does not sound right, it sounds like the passband is
shifted, audio is cutoff, sounds bad. All other modes appear to work ok,
and the receiver is sensitive. One of the pictures shows the receiver
powered on.
So it goes as is, and includes the following:
R8 receiver, USB position problem, otherwise powers on and operates ok. S/N
10500006
VHF converter board with 2 RF cables, DC cable, the installation manual
references a small sheet metal bracket which I do not have.
R8 owner's manual, no pen, looks to be in good condition.
A original R8A color flyer from Drake.
A 2nd R8 Owner's manual, small stain on front cover, otherwise very good
condition.
A paper from the Drake engineering dept, titled "Official Engineering
Project" Drake R8 Shortwave receiver, 4/11/89 rev to 9/21/90. This describes
the features and performance to be designed into the R8. Appears to be a
copy, includes handwritten notes.
Installation instructions for the VHF converter.
A R8/R8E service manual, blue cover, appears to be original, it looks like a
good photocopy, probably the way the service manual was originally
distributed. Has a lot of details with schematics, board layout, parts list
etc.
A review of the R8, appears in German language.
$400.00 for all the above, + shipping, send zip for a shipping quote.
