I just got a real nice Drake R7 and was trying to learn whatever I could
about it.
I came across this post from 1999. today this package would go for abut
$1500, yet it lasted at least several days !!! I wish I had gotten this kind
of a dream deal on my R7 !!!


In 2000 I traded an almost new, in box Sony 2010 for a Yaesu FRG-8800. I
had bought the Sony a year earlier for $200 (a BIG STRETCH in 1999). I
found that the Sony didn't meet my listening needs at the time (I was
into chasing pirates, which broadcast using SSB, and the 2010's lack of
a tunable BFO was frustrating). So essentially I got Yaesu's best model
for $200. I believe the post I saw originally asked $250 for it. I still
use the Frog every day. I have a Degen 1102, but the Frog works better
with poor propagation. Try getting that sort of deal today! Ebay has
essentially inflated prices drastically. OTOH, you can get a Chinese
portable for $50 from Liypn.

Drake R7 Serial #00002812


Includes:


NB-7 Noise Blanker
AUX-7 Board
MS-7 External Speaker
Sherwood SE-3 Mark II
Drake 4245 control knobs
Original manual and Drake box.


On 12-21-98 the radio was serviced by R.L. Drake and underwent an
alignment at a cost of $215.22. Operationally and cosmetically this
setup is a 9 out of 10. Beautiful radio. Too many radios and need $
for home stereo.


$850 plus shipping CONUS only. No trades. Serious inquires only.
