William  a bit more disclosure here please.  This is your own listing, 
isn't it ??

I don't have any issues with any of us promoting our own listing of 
items we are selling, but your email seemed to cast your contents in the 
information light or as a casual observation.

Further at least IMO with this class of item that at least the one 
receiver seemed to have the Rick Mish sticker on the back panel, for 
these receivers I think that it was re-done or rebuilt as Mish would 
say, carries MORE resale value than Howard Mills. HM is most widely 
respected for his Collins A-line and S-line era efforts where he is 
without rival it seems.

Same for Mish and his work on the Collins 389-391 series receivers.

At the market peak Mish was the best, or sharing the top status with 
only Chuck Ripple. Now in today's service providers, we have it looks 
like 5 others who lay claim at servicing this series receivers.

Good luck, these both look like superb examples of quality receivers.
