[Drake] SW-4 S/N UPDATE

SW-4 S/N UPDATE....

  So far I have received 17 e-mails from SW-4 / SW-4A
owners. Every scrap of information helps with sorting
out this Drake puzzle. 

 I don't have enough information yet to do a serial  Number breakdown of the 
SW-4A versions but I do have
news on the SW-4.

 A SW-4A with a serial number of 230 has been reported. This is most 
interesting as I own SW-4 S/N 225. With only 4 radios between the first version 
and the reported "A"version. 

This would indicate that a much smaller number of SW-4's
may have been built making it perhaps the rarest Drake
production radio known.

As of yet I have not heard of a SW-4 with a S/N greater than 225 or a SW-4A 
of less than 230. 

Make's one wonder where they meet, hi hi.

More to come
