I have an RF-590 receiver that needs to find a good home. I have owned this
receiver for a few years now and after some TLC (including replacing the
tantalum caps) it seems to be working well.
 
There are some scratches on the front bezel and the S-meter lens has a crack
in it. I replaced the warped and faded VFD lenses with a slightly green
tinted lens material and think it works well with the color of the VFD's.
(We use this material in front of LCD's for NVIS compatibility on some
products at work)
 
It comes with a binder of the manual that I printed out from files on the
web that includes operation and service docs. 
 
I did not do any sort of alignment as it seems to be working just fine. All
of the BITE tests pass.
 
I am not an expert on these radios as my focus is more on tube boatanchors
so it is time to move this one on to someone that will use it. I have posted
pictures and a couple videos to my web site at:

I'll do my best to answer any questions.
 
I did some interweb research to try and set a reasonable price but could
only find recent sales of RF-590A's so I'm going to throw a number out there
- feel free to educate me on the value of these radios or if you are
interested feel free to counter up or down.........
 
$1500 shipped within the US borders.
