[Premium-Rx] RACAL 6790 GM FOR SALE

[John Meyett]

HELLO TO EVERONE!

I AM POSTING A 'NICE RACAL  6790 GM' FOR SALE, FOR  LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME ON THIS SITE; BEFORE I LIST IT ON E-BAY.  THE DESCRPITION OF THE RADIO FOLLOWS:


THIS RADIO DOES HAVE SOME 'ISSUES'.  IT BLOWS THE MAIN AC FUSE ON POWER UP.  THUS; I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CHECK FOR 'OTHER' FAULTS USING THE BUILT IN BITE SYSTEM SINCE I CANNOT GET PAST THE FUSE BLOWING ISSUE.

THIS IS A NICE CLEAN RADIO WITH SOME SMALL AMOUNT OF DUST ON THE INTERIOR.

NO ISB BOARD IS PRESENT IN THIS BUILD.  FULL COMPLEMENT OF COLLINS BLUE MECHANICAL FILTERS; I AM ASSUMING THEY ARE ALL THE STANDARD ONES.

THERE IS NOTHING REALLY 'SPECIAL ABOUT THE RADIO EXCEPT IT IS 'CLEAN'.  SERIAL NUMBER IS 1-1542; NOT SURE IF THAT MEANS ANYTHING TO ANYONE?

I JUST TOOK SOME PICS. OF THE RADIO IN ORDER TO GET READY TO LIST IT ON E-BAY.  CAN PROBABLY ALSO E-MAIL THEM TO A 'SERIOUS BUYER'.

I COMMUNICATED WITH GARY WINGERD ABOUT THIS RADIO VIA E-MAIL AND GARY DID SEND MY A BUNCH OF CHECKS TO DO, IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE 'PROBLEM'  I HAVE NOT DONE THEM NOR DO I HAVE TIME TO DO SO.   I HAVE ANOTHER 'PREMIUM RADIO' THAT ALSO HAS SOME ISSUES THAT I AM MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN REPAIRING; THAN THE RACAL.  AND; I CAN'T DO BOTH.  SO ONE HAS TO GO.


GARY BASICALLY SUGGESTED REMOVING THE POWER SUPPLY DISTRIBUTION VOLTAGES FROM THE SET AND THEN POWERING IT ON. THIS WOULD SHOW WHETHER THE 'FAULT' IS IN THE POWER SUPPLY OR FURTHER DOWN THE 'CHAIN'..........

I AM INCLUDING WITH THE SALE OF THE RADIO A COMPLETE COPY OF A RACAL 6790-GM REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL.  I PICKED IT UP A FEW YEARS AGO AND NEVER GOT AROUND TO USING IT.


ANYWAY; BOTTOM LINE IS THIS RADIO, AS IS;  I WILL SELL FOR $650.00.......WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I PAID FOR IT A FEW YEARS BACK.  SHIPPPING VIA UPS IS AT THE BUYER'S EXPENSE, AS WELL AS INSURANCE.

PERSONALLY; IF A PERSON DID NOT WANT TO MESS AROUND WITH IT; I WOULD SUGGEST A CONTACT WITH GARY WINGERD; SET UP ARRANGEMENTS WITH HIM TO LOOK AT THE RADIO.  I CAN SHIP IT TO GARY , ONCE I GET PAID; JUST AS WELL AS ANYWHERE ELSE.

I AM NOT GENIOUS WHEN IT COME TO ATTACHING PICS. TO E-MAIL MESSAGES.  I WILL TRY TO DO THAT IF THERE ARE NOT OVERWHELIMG REQUESTS FOR THE PICS.

WILL GIVE THIS ABOUT FIVE DAYS ON THIS SITE, THEN OFF TO E-BAY.

THANK YOU.
