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,
