[Drake] Xtals for Drake 2A

[L L bahr]

Heinz,
I am restoring a 2A right now.  You can download a manual from BAMA manuals free.  In my case,  I am replacing the can electrolytic plus all the other electrolytic and paper caps.  I am also replacing all the out of tolerance resistors which means temporarily removing some of the small sub boards.  My white dial back plate will be repainted too. I am also replicating the Drake crystal calibrator as mine has none installed within it.  A friend of mine recently restored his 2A and found 17 resistors out of tolerance.  You might have to replace parts in the 2AQ also.  The 2A is a better AM receiver as it has a wider filter.  The 2B might be better on SSB as it's filter is narrower.  I wanted a 2A as I have a 2B and also wanted the wider filter for AM use.

Heinz,

Go to:  http://2bradioparts.com
They sell small HC-49 crystals which can be retrofitted to HC-6 basis.  Their crystals are on the correct frequencies and are not expensive.  Otherwise, here in the states, ICM makes great HC-6 crystals and have Drake specs.  (You need a 11, 18, and 25 Mhz crystal.)

Hello,
my newest eBay acquisition a Drake 2B turned out to be a Drake 2A and 
the speaker that came with it was a 2AQ, that's the good news.
The bad news only one band xtal is present and it seems to be the wrong 
frequency. What I have is a 10.8775 MHz xtal in the 40m position. 
Somehow the XX.8775 reminds me of a Collins xtal for the S-line.
Which xtals were supplied with the Drake 2A?
