I love deals like that!! In 1986 I bought my SX-73 for $25.00. I still have it today!! It has the signal corps tag (R-274D/URR) and the signal corps cabinet as well. My R-390A was a gift (Ibought 2 more Stewart Warner's for $20.00 a few years ago)  and my 51J2 was a gift as well. Good Luck with the Transmitter!!
