[Premium-Rx] For Sale: Watkins Johnson WJ-8618B-1 with Options and Mods

[Jeffrey L. Bauman]

I posted this receiver for sale on this list several months ago, but since
then I've had a chance to spend more time with it and Im including a link to
some recent photos and a video.

For sale is a Watkins-Johnson WJ-8618B-1 receiver covering 20 mHz to 1.1
gHz.  It is in excellent condition and to my knowledge, everything works as
it should.  However  it does seem that only antenna #2 works, as anything
connected to antenna #1 produced only noise.  Also, the cap for BNC
connector J3 on the back panel is missing.

Here are the installed options:

FE - to 1.1 gHz receive
ASO - Audio scan output
EM - Extended memory to 100 channels
WBO - Wideband output for external demodulators
488 - RS-488 remote control enabled.

It has AM, CW, Pulse, and FM receive but not SSB.  

Also included is a bound instruction manual with fold outs, and a bound
"WJ861X Receiver Appoendix A Signal Monitor Option" manual with foldouts.

I'm asking $950.00 for the radio plus shipping. I'm estimating it will weigh
about 67 pounds when all is said and done, so use that to figure freight
cost from 48322.  Local pickup near Detroit is fine.

Thanks for taking a look.

Not looking for any trades but it never hurts to ask me!
