Anybody parting out a Drake 2A or 2B receiver?
I need a cabinet and a set of knobs for a 2B that I'm bringing back to life. It was damaged during shipment due to very poor packing. The condition of the paint on the cabinet is not important, as long as the metal is not dented, bent, or badly rusted (light surface rust is okay). I'll strip and repaint it. The knobs need to be good ones with no cracks and decent chrome. Can somebody help me out here? 73, Dean K5DH |

If you end up repainting ( and you likely know this) use a Rustoleum Auto Gray Primer over the bare metal and follow it with Rustoleum satin black #7777- a very nice match for the 2A/2B- perhaps 2 coats with wet sanding in between to remove any dust/dirt. MY painter lost my silk screen and artwork for the 2B, so no more front panels. GL, Dale W4OP |
