Drake R8 receiver for sell
 

I have an excellent R8 with VHF converter in original box (looks new)
that I would sell; label on back reads:
R. L. Drake Co.
Model 1290
R8 Shortwave Receiver
Serial: 4L12900096
This one was one of the last one's made before the R8A model. I have
checked out the radio and it is working fine. I listened to some SSB
on 20M, some FM weather broadcasts by 160+ mHZ (VHF converter), some
local AM, and WWV on 10 and 15 mHZ. Will ship to the lower 48 states
for $550.
can email pictures if interested.
thanks
Larry
