RL Drake MS-4 Speaker and Power Supply Enclosure for the 4-Line Series Radios in Very Good Condition
This MS-4 Speaker and power supply enclosure is in very good condition with only a few small marks and no bad scratches. There is one very small ding on the top near the front edge and it is not noticeable and does not show in the picture.
The original feet are intact with the bumps and the speaker sounds great.
These speakers are getting hard to find in very good condition like this one.
The MS-4 is a classic external speaker from R.L. Drake (introduced ~1965), designed to perfectly match the iconic Drake 4-line ham radio gear like the R-4A/R-4B/R-4C receivers and TR-4/TR-4C transceivers. It's prized by vintage ham radio enthusiasts for its solid build and clear audio on SSB/CW/HF bands. The large cabinet doubles as a housing for an optional AC-3 or AC-4 power supply.
