Drake B line for sale. Includes R-4B, T-4XB, AC-4, MS-4. Station works
fine and is only being taken out of my shack because I just don't need 2 B
Lines.

R-4B S/n 9759G The G means it has a green paint stripe on the crystal used
in the 2nd mixer. This has been the mainstay of N0XY since I got it and
has been my most favorite station to operate. I have enjoyed it immensely.
I have 3 R-4B's and when I decided which to keep, it came down to the top
of the chassis. I chose the best looking one to keep. I set up a test with
3 identical speakers and switched the same antenna to all 3 to compare on
the voice and cw portions of 80, 40, and 20 meters. Bands above that were
not very active that night, so I did not campare there, but have used them
all up to ten with no complaints. This one is not bad, but it has some
spots. Front panel/knobs very good. Cabinet average. No dents, just your
normal wear.  As a receiver, it works Great. Very sensitive. I have
aligned it and have aligned the passpand tuning as will. All is just as it
should be.

T-4XB S/n 14955G. Also with a G crystal. The crystals were matched
temperature coefficients. You put a G RX with a G TX and they will not
drift apart from each other as much. Transmitter works fine. Chassis is a
bit better than the receiver chassis. Front panel/knobs very good. Cabinet
average. No dents, just your normal wear.

AC-4 and MS-4 look good, work great. The front of the MS-4 is excellent.
The cabinet has some small scratches. Not bad.

Also included is a set of interconnect cables that I made. All are RG-174
except the injector cable which is RG-62.

I have used this gear a lot and have gotten fine reports with it. I should
be able to get a computer monitor box to ship in. I pack things very well
and have never had a piece damaged. 2 boxes for shipping is also a
possibility. Or come to Lincoln, Nebraska and I will help you carry them
to the car. I'd like to meet you and the 807's are on me.

I will be taking pictures of it soon and can provide them. I will probably
put them on my web site. Got questions? Just ask.

Price is $525 plus shipping. money order please unless we know each other
or you are a die hard glowbugger   :-)

I will also be listing another r-4b, a 2c, 2nt, and maybe a tr-4c later.
First the B line. anyone interested?

73,
