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.
