Scroll down and read the sorry news.

This is a sad day indeed.

I just got done speaking on the telephone with Universal, they indicate that
they have three (3) R8B's left in stock and that is going to be it!

My guess is they'll be gone by the end of the day!

Now... at 1825, the page says discontinued... the last one Universal had must
have been sold.

The value,money value and history value,of those Drake Radios and all
Drake Radios will only go up from now on.It is as though Harley Davidson
was to stop building those Great Harley Davidson Motorcycles.

Wonder who got the highest or most recent serial number? That one will
be a collectors item. I suppose Drake kept a few too.

I am sorry to see that Drake is discontinuing those Great Radios.I wish
I had the money to buy one.I can wish,can't I? Maybe someday a Drake
radio will turn up in the Goodwill thrift store I check out two or three
times every week.Even if it needs repair,I would send it somewhere for
repair.
