Randy has answered the "B" question several of you have had,  
additionally 4 of you have asked more details on or about the cabinet i 
know some about. the manual list 2 cabinets as i recall,  one is a rack 
mount listing and it features the sliding rails and fold back hinge 
allowing for the receiver to be completely pulled out from the rack 
cabinet face and mounting holes as well let the receiver flip up or at 
several angles.
the second part number is the one as i best recall I ordered direct from 
Harris and as i said it was a cool $1,100 at the time.  I am unsure 
looking back what i was or might have been expecting, but saying it 
was/is a cabinet is a stretch. Really i would call it a sleeve and feel 
closer in my expectations.  But it was and is a cabinet, it has recessed 
{Frenched-in}  folding non spring loaded handles, but beyond that it is 
rather un-remarkable, it is truly a sleeve, it is 3 sided folded Tig 
welded aluminum, both ends are folded back in a hem tight radii edge. 
The front of the receiver is set back about .750 or so, so not much 
protrudes except the black handles.  it has a universal punched rack 
spacing and 4 nut clips in the matching holes for the receiver, as a 
sleeve is is completely OPEN on the back side, it is 3 sided folded so 
NO lid that folds open or offers any sort of access, the receiver has to 
come out for anything but typical RF IF and AF connections as well DB 
25/37 and power cord hook up points.

Recall what Randy's shown cabinet offered had a folding hinged lid, and 
SOME cutouts on the enclosed back panel, but not all or every connection 
point was accessible i noticed, BUT what did and does give me room to 
ponder was the specific cutout for the RF input connector type N that 
his set featured. the whole top lid reminded me of a TMC GPR-90 type 
cabinet, and it might just be me,  but it seemed that the power supply 
cutout area was not complete and thereby not exposing the entire 
heatsink modual and cooling fins,  i tried very hard to cypher this 
detail out but just couldn't make a for sure determination from the 
great picture set he features [ Randy ]
In this last week 10 days since he shared his great pictures i have 
scoured my Harris manuals and none make more or additional mention of 
any 3rd part number for a 3 rd cabinet style,  and even Randy tells us 
or shares he was/is unsure that cabinet was/is factory original. I am at 
a 60/40 split it is NOT a HARRIS supplied original cabinet, and with and 
nudging i could easily go 50/50 it being original.  Where i develop the 
60 from is i have had a lot of conversations with the guys at Harris in 
the repair dept, and i have not once heard them ever mention OPENING the 
lid to test for such and suck point or voltage, it has always be 
presumed the receiver was out of any rack or cabinet and top and bottom 
covers removed, just leaving the modual covers as required..

I omitted the original cabinet i have has 2 each Teflon skids on the 
inside bottom for the receiver to slide on into and thru till the front 
panel reaches the stops points, as well four small rubber feet each 
alike, the exception that the 2 front ones have about a .750 riser, 
giving the receiver a slight tilt from the front to the back.

In my collection i also have the RF-1310 exciter cabinet,  i DIDN'T buy 
that one, it came with the 1310 exciter i got at the AT&T Pensucco 
Florida Transmitting site a long time ago, my cost basis is a whole lot 
less for that one, to the point im not embarrassed about it, like the 
receiver cabinet..
I will conclude and say the paint colors matched and yes the receiver 
looks good inside the cabinet, and it was well protected. The cabinet 
had not one Harris marking logo or p/n or any such type ID or claim 
number anywhere on the cabinet..

Enough,  thanx much..  mac/mc  w5mc

> When I took the pictures to sell the Harris R-2368 on Ebay, I labeled the unit as a "b" to reference that it was the second unit to be sold by me and to separate it from another set of pictures from a previous R-2368 that I had offered for sale.  Thus, this is not a model difference and only a difference in my labeling.  About 3 years ago, I realized that there were variations among a variety of receivers using "alpha" designations and that this was conflicting with my arrangement for designating picture sets.  Thus, I began to place a hyphen between the unit and the alpha so that I would not confuse the two.  When I saw that your question the other day inquired about a "b" unit, I realized that this was an older set of pictures prior to my making the change in labeling.  Thus, I relabeled the album and placed a hyphen between the model and the "b" to make it an R-2368-b to make my picture labeling scheme consistent with what I currently do with pictures.  This caused the lin
