[Milsurplus] R-388/URR

[Greg Mijal]

I used to have an R 388 that I scrounged up a cabinet for.
The cabinet came from a piece of old test equipment.  All it need was paint 
a couple of holes for the RF connectors at the rear.  If the fella looking 
for one is on a budget, I suggest you hit the Flea markets with a set of 
demensions for the cabinet.
Good hunting
