Other workbench has the Drake R-4C, finally got the Plextron R-720

You can use a little Radio Shack Weathercube for that. Put that R-4C into
doing something respectable ... and gain back a workbench.

Ha ha .. well the Plectron is running the local area NWS audio. Came from SC
college radio station - cleaned up fairly well.

Drake R-4C is being cleaned (Simple Green to remove slight nicotine
odor/haze) - this was a one owner estate item. Removed a couple jumpers
under the Noise Blanker socket (lost Drake factory jumper or seller removed
blanker and did poor job) -- and installed the Leeds Electronics 7-pin plug
... looks better than Drake's original ! Just installed the second IF AM and
500 Hz CW filter. Bob Sherwood's audio and power board will be next week -
if I have time.
