[ETO_Alpha] ALPHA 78 FACE & COVER

[Ron Goldstein]

Hi all,

         I just put on a new face & top cover on my old Alpha 78. I thought 
I was going to have problems but everything went very smooth. I was advised 
by Glen at Crosslink that I might have to loosen the 2 meters to align them 
with the new face, but the face went right on like it was made for my unit. 
The new face & cover are high quality units with very nice paint & 
lettering just as you would expect from Crosslink (ALPHA).

         Now I have a sticky face & cover to get rid of. I really do not 
want to throw them away, as I'm sure that SOMEONE out there can make use of 
them. There is a rumor that if you soak them in water overnight, the 
stickiness goes away, but I cannot confirm that.

         Except for the stickiness, the face is in great shape with the 
exception of the top left screw hole--somebody had bad aim with their 
screwdriver and put a few scratch marks there. The cover has numerous 
scrapes and smudges, but there are no dents or deep scratches.

         Now the best part---THEY ARE YOURS FOR FREE---All you have to do 
is pay me for the shipping which should run under $20, saving yourself 
almost $200 compared to buying new ones. E-mail or call me M-F 7AM-5PM EST 
at 914 769 3114, or after 7PM EST at 845 526 3221 if you want them.
