Hi All,

I know this isn't strictly Premium Rx, but it's pretty close.
I've just acquired a Drake R8E, and it's missing a couple of bits. I've 
Emailed the Drake spares department, but thought it is worth a shot 
asking on here as well in case anyone is parting out a unit.

I'm looking for a tone knob, just the push on knob, the control is 
working OK.
It's a two part knob with the tone being the inner control, I'm happy to 
take other bits if anyone wants to part out a complete front panel Etc, 
although only really need the knob.

Secondly I'm looking for a replacement tilt foot for the front of the 
unit if anyone has one. Not so worried about this bit really, but it's 
worth asking.

Finally, I may as well ask. I haven't seen the Rx yet, but it has a 
fault on it of no HF audio, and no output from the speaker at all, 
although VHF / FM audio is apparently available through the headphone 
socket.
Does anyone know if this a "stock fault", before I spend time tracking 
it down.
It is probably something quite simple, but I will not get the Rx in 
front of me until the middle of next week, so just thought I'd ask while 
trying to track down the relevant spares.

Thanks in advance,
Dave.S.
