[Premium-Rx] HF RECEIVER SALE

[Daniel Robinson]

As Autumn begins I am making available additional receivers from my 
collection.  Those who in the past expressed interest in certain units 
should look again since I have returned some to the list.  This is your 
chance to obtain some of the best premium (and some other) sets.  Take 
advantage of shipping rates as they stand now since price rises are 
certain in coming months.  Do not hesitate to contact me for more 
information on any of these sets. Photos and video available.  Shipping 
costs calculated based on buyer location.  This is particularly 
important for any overseas buyers -- there are some locations I will 
decline to ship to.  I am in Maryland and willing to do pick up here or 
deliver within short distances from DC/MD area.  I am slightly 
negotiable on any of these items.

Watkins Johnson 8611:   Obtained from a well known seller in China who 
has had access to stocks of WJ receivers that ended up there, this is a 
fully functional 8611, WJ version, Serial Number 1292.   The 8611 as 
owners of it know is a wonderful wide band unit with tuning to 999 mhz 
but which also has great HF reception from 2 mhz.  $1800 + shipping.

Watkins Johnson 977:    WJ classic from the 1970's, this 977 is in 
excellent condition and fully operational.  Asking $600 + shipping.

Watkins Johnson 8617B:   A loaded 8617B with the rare WJ keypad that 
plugs in on the right side of the front panel.   As everyone knows, 
8617B receivers are getting harder to find, especially with this many 
options, including multiple bandwidths, as well as the keypad.  
Accepting offers on this starting at $1800 -- this will go fast so don't 
tarry!

JRC NRD-93/JRC NDH-93:   One of the most beautiful NRD-93s in the U.S. 
originally came from a private seller in Ohio.  Includes the NDH-93 
memory unit.  Asking $2400 + shipping

Drake R8:   I am the original owner of this R8 purchased from Universal 
in 1993.  It went around the world with me twice during my VOA travels, 
and was my main receiver for decades. Some scratchiness on VOL/RF and 
speaker selector.  No cap replacements yet so anyone interested should 
educate themselves on this issue (see the Drake R8 group on Groups.io) 
Looking for $450 + shipping.

JRC NRD-505:   Excellent condition 505, with original speaker also in 
excellent condition and CDD-48A memory card fully functional. The 505 
was the first JRC receiver manufactured for amateur/SWLs. There are a 
couple of hardly visible marks but cabinet is overall a 9.5+  Receiver 
originally from Europe but converted to U.S. voltage.  Calibration 
varies band to band requiring use of the movable center marker -- common 
for 505s.  Please be aware the memory battery is still original.   
Asking $1700 + shipping.

Canada.  Internal cooling fan installed near main circuit board inside 
by previous owner who also stated that a buck transformer was installed 
somewhere.  14kHz - 30MHz with front speaker, noise blanker, squelch, up 
to 30 memories, 3 speed 10Hz tuning resolution, keypad for data entry,

information.  These are still being sold by Toronto Surplus at a high 
asking price.  $1700 + shipping.

Yaesu FRG-100:  NEW IN UNOPENED BOX, 1995 production.  They don't come 
around often anymore in NOS condition, let alone sealed box. At 
purchaser's request I am willing to open the sealed box to confirm 
operation, but that takes away a bit of the fun.  $625 + shipping.
