Drake R8A value
Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2011 4:14 pm
Hello,
I have a clean R8A in perfect working condition and clean exterior. It was serviced by Drake a few years ago to replace the display lights. At that time they did a full alignment, etc. I have the original box and manuals. I can upload pictures later, but I don't recall any scratches. No mods. No VHF board. I use it daily, but mostly on local broadcast bands to listen to talk radio. This is a waste of this nice shortwave. I need to get it to someone who will use it for what it is built for. I use the internet to listen to international stations now. Its a great radio and I don't have to sell it. But it needs to be used.
So what is this beast worth??
Thanks,
Ken
