Hi folks,
	I have a good R-388 available to a new owner.  I have been into it, not 
a full refurbish, but have replaced all that needed it (incl. the MC 
drum paper), put in a (easily reversible) fast attack slow release AVC 
mod, and fixed the AVC/bias voltage which usually gets to be a problem 
with our 125vac lines;  it's now quite sensitive.  The PTO is off abt 
5kc end to end, I don't think any 2 adjacent 100kc points are more than 
1/2kc off.  It's a good user with no further work needed.
	The handles were removed by a prev. owner, I put plastic hole plugs in 
the holes in the panel.  Less evident than gaping holes.  Perhaps the 
same DPO used a magic marker to label lots of alignment points on the 
chassis, I have not tried to remove them.
	I have put the pix and schematic with my red-marked changes (most, at 
least) on a webpage for your perusal, <http://www.boatanchors.org/R-388/>
	Prices as noted in the subject line, plus shipping from zip 28560.  I 
ask an addtl $15 for buying sufficient rigid foam for proper packing, 
which I will do at no charge.  The cabinet is not available separately.
thanks for looking, 73,
