[Drake] Drake AC3 and AC4 power supplies

[richard radke]

True.... but there was an easy work-around.  I believe the TR-3/AC-3  
combo came out well before the L4 amp.  I traded in my TR-3/RV-3 for  
a C line 40 years ago, so working from memory here.  I ran mine with  
a little Swan 600 watt amp (4 6HF5's maybe).  Amps weren't all that  
common in the mid 60's, and there weren't as many choices.  Work'n  
raising kids.  I didn't get my 1st L4B until the 80's.
