Hi Mark - It is possible that the dyno in the sealed crate is a PE-103. If
so, that's the dyno for the SCR-284/BC-654. Someone had several NIB units
at SLO awhile back. If that's the case, and someone grabs it, I have a
spare dyno (only) for the SCR-284. Free to a good home.
Also, the PE-73C that I am bringing has been spoken for...
See you's there
