[Boatanchors] Looking for Eldico TR75-TV

[Rodger]

The only Eldico item I have in my station is their SBA-1 sideband 
adapter which I use with my R-390A.  It does that job well (has its own 
additional crystal lattice filter, rejection notch, AGC, and S meter) 
and the build quality looks like typical late 50's military style.  I 
wouldn't mind finding the Eldico twins sometime to try out.  I saw a 
pair at a hamfest back in the 70's when I was a poor college student so 
even at their low price then they were out of my price range.
