The dissapointing thing here is that I was in Powhaten VA last week for the
first time ever (I live near Boston). Too late now!

Looks like it's in mint condition too!

I did note that the knobs appear to be shiny (glossy?). Is
this normal?

No that's not a real Drake knob. It looks very much like Mike Maghakian's
very nice all-metal replacement R8/R8A/R8B knob. In fact, I'm almost sure
it is as I have one.

There was an error in the orginal listing. I will ship within USA and
Canada. The knob is Mike Maghakian. I used Turbo Lister and it must have
gone awry. Thanks for pointing this out. I will probably relist the
auction.

He never sold it either. Man I really wanted to buy it too but didn't want
to drive that distance to pick it up.
