Now the search is on for a reasonably priced T4XC. I know, good luck, right?

What I have found on Craig's list and Facebook marketplace is awesome. My Zenith Royal 7000-1 was a 10.00 Marketplace find. Year and a half ago it was a 4 channel 100 Mhz Hitachi scope For under 100.00. A lot of stuff can be mailed.

Throw out a 'Wanted' ad and you'll probably get a reply or three.
Serial number, options fitted? Any mods done? There is a well-known mod to the audio chain (specifically, the power supply section) which corrects a what-the-fsck-were-they-thinking faux pas on Drake's part.

I have the Drake 4C line in my garage. I haven't had the opportunity to fire it up. It belonged to my dad. I remember it being a great receiver. The transmitter uses sweep tubes that you will incinerate if you hold the key down a bit too long. But that RX is superb!
SN 27221. Has the 3 optional CW filters installed, and the Xtals for 160 coverage and for 28.0-28.5. It has the stock AM and SSB filters, don't see any mods. I took the covers off and gave the pots and switch contacts the deoxit treatment. The Xtal calibrator is right on the money. What a great sounding receiver this thing is. I'll check out Zerobeat, thanks for the tip.
