[Milsurplus] R-388/URR

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Fair Radio sells a cabinet that Phil says works on the R-388.  I have one 
but because of failure to get around to removing my one remaining rack and 
completing the bench across that area, it is still in the box it arrived in.  
So I can't yet confirm that.  I forget what I paid for it but it wasn't $500 
I'm sure.  But neither was it $50.  As Todd said, I've never seen 
photographs showing R-388's in cabinets other than ones that came as part of the 
system the receivers belonged to (such as one of the AN/GRC-26's).
