[Milsurplus] GRC-109 receiver - do they sometimes come up for sale alone ?

[Ken]

I have a complete GRC-109, receiver, transmitter, "small" powersupply, GN-58, with seat and legs, cable with regulator, and a second GN-58 mounted to a converted exercise-bike.All bits work well. I used the transmitter, crystal-controlled, to eventually work 35 DX countries, mostly on 40 meters.The receiver uses a 1L6, which has become extremely difficult to find.Some time ago, I made contact with a fellow who makes and sells solid-state replacements for the 1L6 one of which works extremely well in my R-1004 receiver, especially when used with the T-784 transmitter.With the SS 1L6, there is no pulling of the receiver nor blocking, while quite the opposite is true with the 1L6 tube.The receivers I have seen for sale in the last couple of years go for quite high prices. I got my setup mostly from Fair Radio at modest prices.Ken W7EKBSent via the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone

 	alone ? Your input is welcomed if you have opinion or advice on this:At a recent auction i got the transmitter ( only ) for the GRC-109. I see on Ebay there's the universal power supply for $200 + shipping.1. Is there a possibility to find the GRC-109 receiver for sale by itself? Do these come up ?2. Is this even a worthwhile project to go charging off on? Or leave it to someone else?Additional facts: I have this turf already well covered. I mean 'clandestine' small radios.I had already forgotten i got this transmitter in March 2024 ! Seeing the PS on Ebay jogged my memory.I do tend to take on too many projects.-Hue Miller ______________________________________________________________Milsurplus mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/milsurplusHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:Milsurplus at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
