Hi.
I'm placing this ad for my friend Don, W6LRG (lazy retired guy). PLEASE
contact him at either (209) 358-4217 OR w6lrg at elite.net . Please DO NOT
contact me about it 8^).
Don has a very nice R-390A receiver with the following features.
1. It's a 67 EAC with all EAC modules EXCEPT the IF strip, which is a
Collins unit. (Some folks say the Collins is a better strip, I feel they're
all the same).
2. It is COMPLETE with original meters, ALL covers (top/bottom), all knobs
etc.
3. It has been recapped and serviced with all paper and electrolytic
capacitors replaced, alignment, switches/controls cleaned with DeOxit D5 and
so forth.
4. Mods done. A 3 wire power cord is fitted for safety. The power supply
has solid state rectifiers fitted (a Military recommended mod). The
Dallas/Langford BFO/AGC mods have been done for improved SSB reception. All
servicing/mods done by a professional technician (me :)
5. A fine playing receiver with no known problems.
This is your chance to own one of the finest general coverage receivers ever
built. The 67EAC receivers are considered by many to be the finest of the
lot as they incorporated all the military updates when manufactured. (they
are about the latest of the contracts.)
THE FINE PRINT.
Don is asking $500.00 for his and 'prefers' pickup in Atwater California.
This is about the same as Fair Radio asks for a "checked" unit without
meters/covers and which would still require an overhaul.
If the purchaser wants shipment the buyer will provide suitable shipping
containers and handle all expenses. We "may" be able to direct the buyer to
where he can obtain a shipping container.
