There'e no folklore about voltage problems.  Sounds more like the previous
owner was using it with a different transmitter - perhaps a tube rig
(didn't Drakes use that type of connector too?) - and needed to supply the
12vdc for the VFO externally.

Put it back together and enjoy it... if it works.  eBay, ya' know?
