[Milsurplus] Selling an R-390A

[k2cby at optonline.net]

What are E-Bay buyers looking for in an R-390A? A "collectible" hanger queen
that is completely unmodified and as close to original as possible? OR A
working receiver that has been optimized for AM, CW and SSB?

I ask because I've got one to sell and - needled to say - I'd like to
maximize my profits.

What I've got is a Phila '56 Motorola R-390A. I have re-capped it with
Orange Drops, dissembled, cleaned and lubed the gear train, replaced the IF
Gain pot with a 10-turn unit, installed the Langford AGC mod, and added an
external homebrew SSB detector with USB, LSB and CW crystals, a diode ring
detector and audio-derived AGC.

Have I got something saleable, or have I modified myself out of the money?
