[Premium-Rx] FS: reduced Price---- Rare CEI 356, SN-3 VG-to-Excellent Condition

[Gedas]

Hello Group.  I have reduced the price of my CEI 356......details are 
below.  Thank you

> I am very sad to say but I must part with this very rare gem.  As 
> Terry "O" has noted, not many of this model were ever made, maybe only 
> 4 and this may be the only one left in existence.  TU to a very kind

> The receiver is in very, very clean condition with no dust or dirt on 
> the knobs or face, top, etc.  The front face is near perfect with only 
> a couple hard to detect scuff marks or signs of lab use.  The top has 
> a couple stains which I will remove with some Windex and also has a

> My audible MDS tests were run at 100 kHz, 500 kHz, and 900 kHz at all 
> four I.F. BW frequencies (1 kHz, 6 kHz, 20 kHz, 50 kHz). Values ranged 
> from -123 dBm to -138 dBm.  The main frequency dial was very close to
