[HBR] Wanted- HBR Receiver

[Gary Wells]

Lorne, I would be interested in a couple pictures if you have them handy. I am flexible as to which model to attack. I managed to recently find an Eddystone 898 and a couple of National ACN's to cover my bases if I was to start totally from scratch. I can appreciate their net worth on the open market. Send some info my way and I would love to take a look at it. I am down in Sarasota, FL so that would be where it would ship to. Thanks again for getting back to me! So you built 4 of them?

Gary:-
            I have a mostly complete, but working, HBR13. It has a n 
Eddystone dial, uncalibrated as of now, Coil sets for at least four 
bands,(it is not on front of me and I am working from memory) and  I can 
supply documentation. It comes with a cabinet and the front panel(plain 
aluminum) is unlabelled. It also includes a coil stand for the unused coils.
It has one down side. The first two IF transformers were induc coupled. One 
tranny developed a short in the capacitor to ground, and burnt the windings. 
Not having a replacement I eliminated the one transformer and it seems to 
perform as well as before. So in effect it is a HBR13C less this 
forementioned transformer.
I am thinking in terms of $350, considering the Eddystone dial are well over 
a $100 alone. I had given some thought about eBay but I am not a big fan of 
their's.
I have pictures if you are still interested.
Over the years I have built at least four HBRs. For my money the best is the 
HBR12 with a modified National dial, which to me is a definate "keeper".
