I am thinking, that with the high S/N, it looks like the owner of this radio sold the R7A face plate to somebody and installed an R7 faceplate on this radio before he moved it out. I played a little bit with the R8...........now I see why everybody likes it so much. I think I will modify it so the preamp works on all ranges, that is, after I remove that pesky MW attenuator. Nice receivers. I just saw a message on the Drake reflector wondering about a possible change due to the serial number. Thought it must be an R7A vs. an R7. Name Dan, by any chance? |
