The photo with the wood shelves to the left and the 2 R-390s on the table to the right. The middle table, left top, is a DAE. 
The shelves to left have 2 GP tuning units and on floor level, one TU for the BC-191/ 375. That looks like a Hammarlund HX-50 ? transmitter on the table in the 
middle, left side. Over to the right, on the floor, are those URA-80 ?? TTY converters, or URR-27 receivers?
What is the thing under the SX-71, just to right of the SRR receivers? 
The big over-under set, that's the HFDF shipboard receiver, can't remember model number, isn't it ? Oh, is that the DAK ? I think this is a full HF receiver,
no ?
The chassis on the floor, with bottom pan showing, looks like a Hammarlund Super Pro series, right? But at its top, is that a TTY demod of some sort?

2 of the sales events were Beseda auction in Portland OR. Two were local. One was in Albany OR, 1.5 hours drive for me. I only learned of that one entirely
by accident, and i do mean accident, as consequence of forgetting to take my luggage hauler after the Beseda auction. The Albany fellow WB7TAZ wrote 
me he's having a sellathon this Fri, Sat, Sun at his place in Albany. I can give you his email and phone. BUT - the stuff in his storage is well picked - over, and 
i am guessing the stuff in his house, where the sale is, is only ham gear. In his storage there was a TBW HF section and an ART-13 when i left there about 3
weeks ago. That was about all of interest. Oh, a beat up RBM or two, and one of those R-366 ? Espey recs, the one that replaced the SLR-12. There must have
been a bunch of old nondescript uninteresting test equipment too. A Johnson Desk Kilowatt with something, like the modulator i think, removed from it.
Best of luck selling that !

>I think the direction finder is a DAK. I've got one, but I've never been motivated to get it going.  Must be the world's largest BCB receiver.
Next to the SRRs (maybe one of them is a -12!) I think I see a WRR-3.

Hue, how do you find out about all these estate sales?  We live not too far apart and I never hear anything. (not that I need anything I'm about full up too)
73, de Robert W7MKA
>PS: Now that I opened my big mouth, I do see a DAE there-next to the HQ-129.
