Description
This RL Drake T-4X HF Transmitter, is in Collector Quality Cosmetic Condition, Refurbished by Ron Baker, WB4HFN. It is Late S/N 13575R
This Transmitter has been sent to Ron Baker, WB4HFN to be refurbished, as several other Drake Radios I have listed.
The invoice for this unit is shown in the pictures, and this rig has been completely gone through by Ron.
He typically checks everything, replaces any tubes, crystals and components as needed, and does a complete alignment. He also refinished the cabinet on this T-4X.
I checked this transmitter on my bench and it powered up okay but when I keyed it up to first check the bias, the current meter pegged and blew the power supply fuse.
I am guessing one of the finals shorted and may have taken out a component.
The transmitter powers up but during testing, it no longer tuned in the preselector positions on each band.
It is possible to get full power out in an out of position spot on the pre-selector, but it is not tuning up correctly and will need some attention.
This Transmitter has a new set of 6JB6 Matched final tubes.
It also has been refinished by Ron and looks like new.
This Transmitter is in Beautiful cosmetic Condition, as Ron did a full refurbishment.
The front face plate is clean with no bad marks or scratches and the cabinet has been refinished to the original late style textured finish.
This transmitter has been stored unused, wrapped in plastic, in a controlled temperature environment, for several years.
I am selling it as is as described, for a client who collects only the finest RL Drake gear.
Note: This transmitter requires a Drake AC-4 power supply (not included).
I have AC-4 Powers supplies available to the purchaser of this transmitter. All have been tested and they are later serial number units.
I also have other accessories for this line, some are set up and some are not yet set up on my web site. So if there is anything else you need, please let me know
