[MRCA] FS: Collins FRR-33 Components C-1012, CU-286, KY82

[Mister Mike]

Good Morning All: 
I have decided to part with some of the wonderful stuff it has been my privilege to have in my possession for many many years. I have decided that I am never going to do anything with them and rather than have them languish here any longer it is better to pass them on to someone who will use and enjoy them. 
These three pieces are very hard to find in one place. I would like to offer them to the list members of the R-390, Boatanchors, Collins, MRCA and Milsurplus mail reflectors before offering them to the general community.  This offering consists of three pieces, all manufactured by Collins Radio: 
 CU-286/FRR33 Coupler 
KY-82/FRR Keyer 
C-1012/FRR Coupler-Monitor 
Sorry, I will not split them up and sell the pieces separately unless three people want the individual pieces at one time. I do not have the interconnecting cables but the connectors are commonly used and easily found. The units seem complete with all covers, meters and tubes (except the 26Z5W rectifiers used in the KY-82 that have been "borrowed". 
I would very much prefer not to have to ship these units. They are on the heavy side ( CU-286 37 pounds, KY-82 42 pounds and C-1012 22 pounds unpacked). I can deliver them to NEAR-Fest XXIII at Deerfield NH on May 4th & 5th 2018. 
I will ship provided the buyer pays ALL attendant shipping costs which should be around $100-$150. Here are some photos of the various pieces.

I am asking $750.00 for lot of three items. 
 So what is this stuff anyways? The FRR-33 was designed for the R-391 "Autotune" receiver but works manually with the R-390 and R-390A receivers. This equipment, along with two (or three) receivers will provide for a dual diversity receiving system using two antennas, one vertically polarized and the other horizontally polarized. The system selects the receiver having the strongest signal.
