Drake 2-B serial catalog
A companion to How many Drake 2-Bs were ever made?. That post is the estimate. This page is the evidence locker: every rear-apron stamp we can photograph, cropped close enough to read.
Last eBay sweep: 17 September 2026. New plates get added here as they turn up. Most crops are from listing photos; one is from a radio that now lives here. The serial is the factory stamp on the copper rear apron, usually between the Q-MULT socket and the BAND E crystal coil.
Twelve plates are readable so far. The rest of the known sample is listed at the bottom as still wanted.
Known serials still without a photograph — send a rear-apron shot if you have one of these:
