Default Drake SW-4A tuning knob and aluminum skirt.


I finally got around to working on a rather sad Drake SW4A. Sometime in
its past, the tuning was messed up. The main tuning knob and the skirt
are long gone.

I can find several vendors on the web that have suitable knobs, but I
haven't been able to find the skirt. I can fabricate a kludge from the
photo in the manual, but I am hoping that someone has one.

Everything else seems to be working according to spec.

TIA.

Steve.

Have you checked the Drake list at QTH.NET ?

Yep. I have found knobs, but not the skirt.
