======================================================================
As far as other radios for sale,  I have the following:

 Collins ART-13/T47,  Unmodified,  knobs C and D have chipped rings,  paint
is fair to good,  the 6V6 tubes in the speech amp have the Collins logo on
the base!

 R-390A,  Stewart-Warner,  needs help,  4kc. filter is dead,
 slugs stolen to fix other radios, (including the R-388!) one of the coils
is broken.  Dirty, could be made healthy again if someone had parts units
around.  Has covers.

  National NC-109,  Works,  has matching speaker,  the radio
itself is pretty rusty underneath,  mongrel knobs.  Speaker is in better
shape but dirty.

  Farnsworth bakelite table radio.  A.M. and S.W.,  used to work but I think
the caps went bad.  Really neat lighted dial pointer.

  RCA ACR-175,  1937 depression-era communications receiver,  I've never
seen or heard of one anywhere except in a 1937 or 1940 QST.  Has a round
dial and tuning eye.  I re-capped it and put in a few tubes,  it plays but
has flaky switches and such.  The cabinet has not been restored or touched
except for a careful cleaning.

  James Millen Secondary Frequency Standard,  has 1Mc. Xtal and dividers to
give markers at 10,  25,  100,  and 1000 kc.,  has a tuned output circuit so
markers will be within 6 bands ranging from 0-50 Mc.

  2 Heapkit parts radios,  SB-100 and SB-102,  no tubes or power supplies,
Cheap.

  I also have a heap of other small stuff,  a few roller inductors,  air
variables, new coil stock,  used coil stock,  some fair to good to new tubes
up to 4-400, a near mint Millen vernier dial.

  I have a 6-meter power amp,  5CX1500 tube with vacuum caps,  rack mount,
power supply is available but weighs 350 lbs.,  has spare tube.

  Let me know what bits and pieces you need,  I have lots of stuff that I'd
like to get rid of.  The only items I expect to get real money for are the
ART, the RCA,  and the 6-meter amp.  Everything else is at flea market
prices.  I need to clear stuff out because I have too much and would like to
expand my machine shop where all this stuff is stored.
