Drake R8 SN?

Anyone know if there were any problems with the early Drake R8's?

I tried an R8 in 1991. The sync' detector was prone to losing it's lock
when the signal faded. I decided to return the R8 and wait for Drake to
work out the bugs. I ended up getting an R8B in 1997. It was worth the
wait. The sync' on the R8B is one of the best.
