Drake 1A:  incredibly rare receiver.  Alot of corrosion (and I can't =
emphasize this enough) on chassis top, oddly enough chassis bottom looks =
brand new with bright and shiny copper, repainted cabinet, original =
knobs with exception of main tuning knob, which oddly enough fits =
properly, is sized properly, looks good,  and has a small finger indent, =
it doesn't match the main tuning knob on my other 1A or of any other =
1A's I've seen but it makes me wonder a bit.  Front panel has corrosion. =
 I believe radio is complete.  I've never powered it up though the ham I =

I prefer Paypal, postal money order, certified check.  Insurance is a =
must.  I prefer to ship #1 Fed Ex ground, #2 USPS, no number three.  I =
will charge actual shipping fees only, no handling BS, but if I can't =
find a shipping box and have to buy one, then I'd like to pass that cost =
along.  I am not a dealer or a wheeler dealer.  Up till now, radio's =
only entered the shack, but never left.  Sort of like the RoachMotel =
ads, "radio's check in but they never check out"  :))))))    I am just =
selling off some radio's that am no longer using.  And no, I'm not =
selling off the whole Drake collection.  I'm keeping my gorgeous =
T4XB/R4B/MS4/AC4 and Drake 1A.  You can see my other (not for sale) =
Drake 1A with the cover off on my webpage.  I took several close up =
photo's of the front panel, rear panel, chassis top, chassis bottom. =20
