Hello to the list -

I came home with my second SP-600 today. I think it is relatively untouched
and not too bad at all except that the meter has been replaced with a square
one. It does look to be the original meter face though. Is there anyone out
there who will part with a proper round meter?

This RX is coated with the yellow MFP varnish and has a 2 pin (twinax?)
antenna connector. Possibly it is the same as the R-390 type. I keep seeing
the adapters for sale so I guess now I will be needing one. This is a JX-1
and it looks like there once was a military tag scewed to the upper left
corner above the output meter.

(To Roy Morgan - No, I didn't power this one up. All the black beauties will
be replaced first and it appears to be loaded with all 50+ of them! Looking
forward to another fun job but this time around should be easier - one cap
at a time - repeat until there are none left!)

Thanks for any help with the meter or words of wisdom!
