Some notes and updates:

Now that prices are up, those who have contacted me already please do so 
again on items you had interest in.  U.S. buyers are obviously preferred 
but willing to ship to low risk countries, fully insured.  Heavy 
receivers may require extra insurance and shipping measures, as prices 
have gone up.  Overseas buyers with UPS/FEDEX etc accounts willing to 
handle all label details welcomed.   I have highlighted special / rare 
items in bold. Local DC/MD/VA buyers preferred but open to all offers.  
I take Paypal but obviously must process before any arrangements start. 
Rare Rockwell/Collins badged items are simultaneously listed on Collins 
groups.io.  Drawing attention to newly-added items including rare McKay 
*Dymek DR-44 and Cubic CDR-3580.*

*Harris 590 ($1900):*  Great condition, with preselector (*PRE *is 
installed but may not be actually ribbon-connected).  New front display 
module installed by Toronto Surplus some years ago before acquired.  
Heavy so keep that in mind for shipping.

*Harris R 2368 ($2300):*   Beautiful R2368 once pictured on a prominent 
auction site.  Custom black acrylic cabinet and matching speaker in 
acrylic frame.  Preselector installed and fully operational.  This is 
definitely one of the most beautiful 2368s in the country right now.  
Heavy so keep that in mind for shipping.

*Harris 590/2368 NOS Front Display* ($300):  Rare direct part from 
Harris, brand new, unopened display tube units for R-590/A/2368.   Part 
No:  10073-2420 and 10073-2500

*/// Watkins Johnson 8711/A NIB ($4500):*  Likely one of a kind, 
obtained from China-based seller, original box, manual, cables, CD, 
etc)  Has been upgraded with a specialized 500,000 MTBF power supply, 
preselector, and modified battery which enables replacement on IC Memory 
chip.  All of this added considerably to the value and thus the price.  
You're _getting a historic rarity NIB_ with more than $1000 in upgrades. 
*///*

*Cubic/SMR-2400 ($2900):*  Another rarity, the SMR-2400 which is the

board internals.
