Please check my Ebay store for lots of great manuals. This is a very nice comb-bound digital reprint of the Instruction Book for the Drake 2-B Receiver. The comb binding allows the book to lie open flat on your desk. The covers are made of heavy card stock and are both protected with clear sheets. I have moved page 1 from the cover to a separate page.
It is a well-detailed operator's manual, explaining how to use all of the controls. There is a five page chapter on circuit theory.

There is a whole chapter on the accessory bands, from 4 MHz to 24 MHz in forty 500 KHz bands, and the high group from 24 MHz to 29.7 MHz in ten bands. The chart shows the band coverage, band switch position, crystal socket, and required crystal for each band, along with the special tuning instructions for the high group.

I have added the instructions for the 2-AC Crystal Calibrator, and the 2-BQ Speaker/Q Multiplier.

Service Manual Section:
Subjects covered are Removal From Cabinet, Alignment Procedure, Troubleshooting Procedure, Voltage Chart, Resistance Chart (check out the radio before applying power, avoid burning up something impossible to find like an IF can!). There are clear photos of the top and bottom of the chassis with arrows pointing to the important parts. There is a page showing how to restring both dials. Next there is a nice big 11x17" fold-out schematic.

The alignment instructions look good. They include the 50KHz Oscillator, the 405KHz Oscillator, the 455KHz IF Can, VFO Alignment, Variable IF Alignment, Crystal Oscillator Alignment, Preselector Alignment, Front End Alignment, and Passband Tuner-Selector Adjustment


Finally I have added to the manual four pages of information on the 2LF Low Frequency Converter. It covers the Description, Installation & Adjustment, Operation (including the six charts for tuning the six bands with the two crystals), and the schematic.
The three photos of inside pages are of my original. The copy you receive will be newly printed, without any 3-ring holes or tears.
