Greetings to all,

        I am restoring two FAA green (the pretty green not the ugly NASA
green) panel 51J-4 receivers.  These receivers have three filters, top and
bottom covers, and excellent dial drums.  They will be cleaned, lubricated,
synchronized, aligned, and have end-spread returned to zero.  They are in
excellent cosmetic and electrical condition.  However, they are fifty years
old, they will show some signs of age and use.  I am asking $1,000 plus
professional packing, shipping, and insurance from Houston.  I can deliver
most anywhere in central Texas and will be glad to bring them to the Belton
show.

        I also have two R-388's for sale.  These receivers are in average
condition with top and bottom covers.  I do not have time to do much
cleaning on them.  I will align, synchronize, lubricate, and set end-spread.
Asking $600 for each receiver with the same shipping conditions listed
above.  With a little TLC, these two receivers will look great.

        If time permits, I will have a beautiful 75A-2A ready by Belton.
This is a very rare receiver in original case with one 3.1 KHz filter.
Asking $1,000.
