I’m going to fulfill a lifelong dream

When I was a young and very broke ham, I lusted for the Drake C twins. One of my Elmers owned a set and I probably got drool all over my shirt every time I was in his shack.

Yes, I know that my Kenwood TS-590s will run circles around the old Drake gear but it is time. The plan is to find and buy the gear one piece at a time and restore it.  A ham on QTH.com is selling a nice clean non-working R4C for a decent price. This is the beginning of what I hope to be a pleasant adventure.
