Hi folks,
    I have a nice pair, R-4A s/n2624, and T-4X s/n10963, for sale as a
complete package.  I am the second owner of these, but don't have the room
to keep them set up for use.  They should go to someone who will.  I got
them this past winter from the original owner, whom I have known for about
15 yrs.  He bought them new in Feb. 1966.
    The chassis on both of these may be the cleanest I have seen, and I've
seen quite a few.  General cosmetics are good, no panels scratches or
dings, some minor pricks might be found.  The covers have had some nicks
at the edges, I've touched up most, if not all, of them.  I've been
completely thru the xmtr, it gets good output, the rcvr is working well.
Details on each are on the webpages shown below.  The MS-4 cabinet has had
some scrapes retouched, not by me, a fair job, but noticeable.  The AC-3
has been recapped by the original owner, probably in 1993 as there's an
invoice for the parts from Drake incl. with the manuals which have some of
his notes in them.
    Here's what's included in this package:
--- R-4A & T-4X
--- MS-4
--- AC-3
--- 8 extra crystals
--- straight mic plug
--- interconnecting cables, not original, but incl. a proper RG-62 inj.
cable
--- two original box sets for these specific units  (not for the
MS-4/AC-3)
--- original manuals

note, these do not have original knobs on them, if that's a problem, don't
look any further.  I don't have enough extra knobs to fill either unit,
but they are available.  What's on them are reasonable substitutes.  The
orig. owner had changed them because he liked the feel and look better.

see the details & pix at:

  the pages are linked together, so you can easily go back & forth.
    MS-4/AC-3 pix are with the T-4X, boxes shown w/R-4A are representative
of both.

price, $425  not incl shipping from 28560
    shipping can be between $25 & $60+- depending upon location, carrier &
options.  I will pack in separate boxes, the orig. boxes will be inside
and not exposed, no packing chgs.
    I think I've got everything covered here and on the webpages, but if
any questions, please email.
