Fellows,

Not having enough room for the many HROs, I have about decided to part with
my HRO-60 setup.  This includes one excellent condition HRO-60, checked out
and fully operational.  I replaced one resistor and one capacitor, it has
the original transformers.  The case is excellent with no noticeable
scratches or bumps on the front, or the top and sides.  The bottom plate is
also very nice.  I have a spare 4H-4C ballast tube (very hard to find), and
there is one in place.  The original coils are excellent with matching
serial numbers.

It also has the other coil sets, making 13 coils in all.  These include the
AA, AB, AC, AD, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J.  The AA gives bandspread coverage
of the 10 and 11 meter bands, the AB covers the 25 to 35 Mhz. range, AC is
bandspread for 15 meters, and AD is for 6 meters.  The E and F give 480khz.
to 2.0 Mhz. coverage, and the G, H, and J coils cover from 50 Khz, to 430
Khz.  All the coils are original HRO-60 coils with the HRO-60 type plates on
the front.

The 10" speaker included in this setup was new old stock, and includes the
original cardboard box.  The speaker is slighter lighter in finish compared
to the receiver, works perfectly, and has no scratches or dents.

Internally the HRO-60 includes the 1 Mhz. and 100 Khz. crystal calibrator
which works perfectly.  I also will include an excellent copy of the manual
(not original).  It does not have the FM detector.

I also have a very nice HFS receiver which can be included, this receiver
also has all the original coils, and can be used by itself or as a converter
for the HRO-60.  This can be included with the setup.

This receiver is located near Houston, I do have digital pictures that I can
send if you are interested.

I am asking $2500 for the complete setup with HRO-60 and HFS receivers.  I
may be interested in trades, primarily high grade receivers, Collins, W-J,
Racal, TenTec commercial etc.

Thanks for your time,
Barry
