Kinda mislabeled it but you get the idea. I'd like to find a pair of
handles that go on the front of the R-388/51J-3. Any extra's out there
anyplace. These got bent in shipping, thank you very much seller for
the excellent job of putting the radio in one box with some newspaper
stuffed around it and then trusting it to UPS!
BTW, as an added note, my new 75A-2A that was supposed to have been
delivered on the 25th has now been found to "have not been delivered"
but the more than competent and brilliant UPS folks. A 26 X 26 X 26 or
bigger box containing this unit was scanned into the Mesa Terminal on
the 25 for delivery and suddenly "disappeared" into thin air. I wonder
what black hole all this stuff that "disappears" in the their system
does with all the lost and damaged boxes/packages.
so much for another Collins radio. They asked if it could be replaced
by a "new, reused or other type of radio". HA! Hopefully that means
that they are intending to spit up the cash as it was fully insured.
I suspect that it was trashed in the terminal or transport somehow and
they just threw it into the dumpster. We'll pay for it if anyone inquires!
Sullen and depressed.
