[Milsurplus] Military Gear At Memphis, TN, "Dixiefest"

I guess you didn't see the ARR-15 under the table full of Motorola stuff.
 The previous owner started to modify it by removing that pesky autotune
system.  But at $5.00, it went home with me!  Bought a small quality of
repair parts and a fan assembly powered by a Bodine 1/40th hp motor. 
Neat little thing.  Saw the R-390 and ARC-4 you mentioned but like you,
already have them and paid much less.
Timing is everything!
Regards,
Jim
