For Sale

Gray rack cabinet. This is a standard 19" wide rack cabinet with 12.25 =
inches of rack space. The internal depth is 14.75 inches. This means =
that this cabinet will hold and R390, R390A and any of the early =
Super-Pros. It is not deep enough to hold an SP-600. This has an access =
door on top and louvers on the sides. It is painted a dark battleship =
gray and has lots of scuffs and scratches. The mounting rails have =
threaded holes for mounting screws. $50 Picture available.

Now here's something different. This is a post-war BC-779-B Super-Pro to =
which a crystal oscillator modification kit has been bolted on. The =
radio itself has no military tag. the Hammarlund tag on the back is =
unreadable except for the embossed notation "LXR" and "4550". The xtal =
oscillator kit add-on has a military tag that says "Improvement Kit =
MC-531". The kit was made under a 1949 contract. This radio comes with a =
matching military power supply RA-84A made by Howard Radio in 1942 with =
a 1951 MWO stamp. Both radio and power supply are rack mount. They both =
have top and bottom covers. This radio was part of a diversity receiver =
setup called the AN/FRR-12. The crystal oscillator is clearly shown in =
manual TM 11-896. This setup dates from between 1948 and 1951. The radio =
front panel is dark gray and the power supply panel is light gray. I =
think the radio panel has been repainted. The radio has all the original =
knobs. The band switch, band spread and tuning controls all work as they =
should. The meter is original and looks good. This set comes with the =
original manual for AN/FRR-12 (TM 11-896) which clearly shows the =
crystal oscillator setup. The manual is unfortunately missing the =
schematic but I can supply a copy of a BC-779-B schematic to fill the =
void. Also comes with the correct cable to attach the radio to the power =
supply. All original as far as I can see. Untested and assumed to need =
restoration. As-is. $75 Pictures available.
