Auction #4, lot of vintage stuff/ Check this out:
I have one of these, it is a 1000VDC and is not a dynamotor, but a solid
state power supply with a cooling fan. Great for a BC375.

It's a great auction. I nearly tried to one of the R-390A's (I think there were 5 up for bid) but decided against it. I stupidly put in a "this is a dumb bid and there is NO way that I will get this item for this absurdly low price" on a Millen 90711 VFO. I won the darn auction (I bid $50) and it was delivered yesterday. TIP for you: The shippers that the auction company uses are VERY nice people but they have no real experience in shipping heavy tube items. Provide them with SPECIFIC shipping instructions if you want your item to arrive undamaged.

I second the kudos for the shippers. Inexperienced with items like ours but
they are responsive and willing to learn. I?ve gotten some 50-75 lb
teletype items including a CRT terminal. FedEx damaged the boxes but not
the equipment.
