Greg,

The nicest thing about the R4b is that Mr. Drake and company got it right 
from the get go.  It is a very complete receiver as designed and does not 
need a lot of performance modding to work well.  I did  do a couple of 
things to mine that imporoved the operation of an old receiver.  I added a 
ground strap to the PTO shaft bracket and cleaned the old grease off the 
gears for the PTO dial mechanism.    You can find a how to on this at

I have a lot of fun with my B line and a Dentron MLA2500.  A whole row of 
blue / green meters when I turn the lights off.

73,
