I have seen info about 8 and 9. I have seen info about 6 and I think 4 
or 5 (maybe both). I would have to go and look at my RAK-7 but I think 
it was made in 1944 or 1945. I have seen too many of those stamps to 
remember. I have closed the shop for the night. But now you have me curious.

I think it was the 7 (might be 6) that introduced a coaxial antenna 
connector (not PL-259). Some of the different models might have been 
built with different tube types but the basic design stayed pretty much 
the same - I think. Thinking might get me in trouble.
