[Drake] R4B questions

[Dave Maples]

Dale: Thanks for the reference.  I found the Drake Mods page, and found the
note you described.  Now the next obvious question...how do I find the
appropriate transformers?  Did some outfit not buy out the remaining Drake
stock of parts (seems that I remember that, but memory is flaky...)?  Anyone
remember who that was, if it happened, or have a suggestion on how to find
the IF transformers in question?  I'd rather not wade into making the
transformers; that's probably a LONG-TERM project...

Thanks,
Dave WB4FUR

If you look in Drake Mods you will see where the possibilility of using a
first IF filter in a B  is discussed. He says you need the input and output
transformers from a C to make it work. Seems like it would be a nice
improvement, though.
