The above link is why I have all large items such as transmitters, receivers, power supplies, etc., packed professionally by a local Pack & Ship store to help prevent damage during shipping and delivery. You must state you want additional shipping insurance.
The packing and shipping fees are the “actual packing and shipping fees”. I do NOT inflate those fees like some sellers do!!!
I do not provide shipping estimates as they are inaccurate so please don’t ask for a shipping estimate to your zip code.

==================================
Drake R4A
$135 + shipping
This R4A is in very good condition. The original power transformer failed so I bought a new, not rewound transformer from Hayboer Transformers in Grand Haven Mich.
While waiting for the new transformer to arrive, I ordered, received, and installed the hayseedhamfest.com R4A capacitor kit. The new transformer when received, was installed, connected, and the receiver tested without any problems.
I don’t know what the rear panel “CW Sidetone” was. There’s no sockets in the hole just a label glued to the rear apron next to the hole. The hole appears to be factory not owner made. The rear apron “SO-239” was installed before I purchased the receiver. It works perfectly.

T4XB Transmitter
$130 + shipping
Has a 12VDC small muffin fan on the rear. The fan is powered by a 1/2 wave rectifier supply tapped off the 12VAC filament source at the filament fuse shown in the 4th picture below. Rectifier consist of a 1N4007 diode and an 8ufd 150VDC axial lead capacitor. A Red wire from the fan is tapped at the diode and capacitor’s “+” terminal to power the fan.
Fan runs continuously while the transmitter is powered ON. The fan is not heard during operation.
The fan does not have a heat sense, it runs at a constant speed regardless of the final amp heat level.
No microphone or CW key are included.
A little dusty but will clean up rather easily.
Unfortunately this T4XB does not come with an AC power supply. The Drake AC3 or AC4 power supplies will work to power the T4XB transmitter.
The T4XB manual can be downloaded at the link below.

T4XB Rear View with 12VDC cooling muffin fan mounted on rear final amplifier cage. The small Red wire below the SO-239 antenna connector is the +12VDC power. The ground return is a small Black wire connected to the chassis.

Note the small Black 8ufd axial lead capacitor in the center of the chassis. That’s the half wave rectifier filter capacitor. The diode is at the “Red” wire next to the 3 wire wound resistors. The Red wire exits through an original factory small hole to the fan. The fan’s Black wire connects to the chassis at the fan mounting screw.
