DRAKE TR-4C PACKAGE

Up for sale is a Drake TR-4C sideband transceiver, the matching MS-4 speaker Send which is also the power supply for the Drake. Included in the package is a Astatic 1040 microphone and Torrestronics Digital Frequency Readout which is plug-in ready for this Drake. The complete instruction manuals for the Drake transceiver and the Torrestronics digital readout are also included. The Drake is in excellent cosmetic condition. It receives on all bands and all knobs, ands, tubes, electronics work as intended. I have no reason to believe it will not tune up for transmitting, I have not tuned it up because I am not familiar with such tuning. Even with the manual in hand, I hesitate to tune lest I cause some harm to the unit. It is set up for operation if a potential buyer who is familiar with a Drake would like to come by and test it. The reception on all bands is clear and all knobs and connections work perfectly. If a buyer is not interested in the digital readout, microphone, or power supply, I am Willing to deal with individual items. The following is the price breakdown:
Drake Transceiver - $200.00
Speaker PW Supply - $50.00
Microphone - $25.00
Digital Frequency Readout - $50.00

Total Package - $325.00

PowerWerx recommends that the housings should be mated according to the diagram above, viewing from the contact side (opposite the wire side), tongue down, hood up, RED on the LEFT, BLACK on the RIGHT. PowerWerx supplies a 3/32-inch-diameter roll pin, 1/4 inch long, to keep the housings from sliding apart.

Note: Some organizations assemble the connector housings opposite of the above. Check with your local organization / group for the local "standard".

Highly conductive silver-plated copper contacts allow minimal contact resistance at high currents. Self-wiping action on make and break keeps conducting surfaces clean. Contact dents keep connectors mated in high-vibration applications and provide quick-break, snap action upon disconnect.

Non-corrosive stainless-steel leaf springs maintain constant contact pressure‹ideal for frequent connections/disconnections and intermittent overloading. Durable, high impact-resistant, polycarbonate housing with UL94V-2 flammability ratings comes in many colors for circuit trace ability and coding.

Identical connector halves are genderless‹making assembly quick and easy and reducing the number of parts stocked. Molded-in dovetails allow for customized harness in a variety of configurations.

The 30-ampere contacts are designed for 12-16 AWG wire. The contacts can be soldered or crimped to wires. A very expensive crimping tool is available from Anderson (we offer a very inexpensive alternative that does just as good a job). After a contact has been attached to a wire, it should be installed into the housing so that the housing spring mates with the underside of the contact. When you slide it completely in the housing you should hear a click when it passes the spring detent.

To remove a contact from the housing, use Anderson insertion/extraction tool #111038G2. You may also substitute a very small blade (jewelers screwdriver or X-Acto knife) to lift up the front of the contact slightly over the detent and pull the contact out of the rear of the housing, allowing the contact to be removed.

Here are the Anderson part numbers:

30 A Black Red	Housing Only #1327G6 #1327	Contact Only #1331 #1331	Accepts Wire 12-16 gauge 12-16 gauge
75 A Black Red	Housing Only #5916G4 #5916G7	Contact Only #110G16 #110G16	Accepts Wire 6 gauge 6 gauge
