Hello folks, 

I have received several replies to my posts about the Drake bulbs. I am not the one that is saying that they are rare as they sure are not.

Before my post, I have received no less than 15 emails wanting to buy these bulbs from me before the supply dries up.  Someone has been instilling in the Drake people that these bulbs will no longer be avail.

This reminds me of some of the shilling that is done by other vintage radio people on the reflectors and on Ebay.

What is dhilling some ask? Well it is a method used by some to drive up the value or price of an items or items by creating a non existant demand for the items.

A good example is 3000.00 Collins KWM2 rigs what a joke and also 4000.00 Drake C line station without amps.

If enough inexperenced people see these prices they start thinking wow, I had better buy the one I saw on XXXXX for only 2000.00  Bingo, they just found a shill
