If you own a Drake SPR-4 receiver, you know that it is a great classic
receiver dating from 1968 to 1979 and was Drake's first fully solid state
general coverage receiver. It's capabilities are legendary and collector's of
vintage equipment relish the SPR-4 as a very sensitive receiver. The RL Drake
Company did not offer a lot of accessories with the SPR-4, but did make
calibrator and noise blanker modules available to enhance listening. In
addition, they sold extra crystals to expand the bands available for the user
to tune into more frequencies than the factory supplied crystals.
Please note that these crystals will NOT work in other RL Drake
receivers....only the SPR-4.

The crystals are easy to install in the crystal board of the SPR-4. Basically
you remove 6 screws holding the top cover in place and then determine which
place on the crystal board you want to place the crystal (there are 23 possible
positions). After plugging it into your desired socket position, you replace
the top cover and....voila.
