Available for sale is a drake r-4b. Take a look at the detailed description below, and scroll to the bottom to see the photographs. None (no box, manual, etc). Includes three extra crystals for 28-29mhz. The unit is in good physical condition. The cabinet is clean with minimal wear, and the face looks good. The cabinet is missing a few screws, but other than a few minor scuffs it looks pretty darn good! The receiver was tested on a loop antenna with an rf generator. While checking calibration, we noticed there was no output on the crystal calibrator. Also, we were not able to receive on 160 meters. Lastly, the bandswitch is a little soft. It is functional, but you have to play with it a little on some bands. We gave the unit a light cleaning (air and brush only), and cleaned all switches, pots, and tube sockets with contact cleaner. This really helps performance. We ran the unit for several hours on 40 meters ssb. The unit was very stable. Please note that there is an issue with the calibrator and receiving on 160 meters, as described above. Thanks for looking, and let me know if you have any questions. We’ll happy to help in any way we can!The item “Drake R-4B HF Ham Radio Vintage Tube Receiver 6-Band SSB, AM, CW, RTTY (CLEAN)” is in sale since Monday, March 23, 2015.
