[R-390] R-388 knobs, etc

[Jon & Valerie Oldenburg]

Had a TT-176 Teletype shipped here single boxed with  only a double layer of
corrugated cardboard on the bottom as packing. I was amazed UPS delivered it
in  A-1 shape!!   2 years back I bought a SP-600 from a  member  on the
Hammarlund list. UPS sent the radio on a 3 week tour of  the country. It had
tracking on it,  so I was aware of this. I had left specific instructions
with  my staff at work that I must see  the parcel before any signing off.
The UPS man cleverly left the box in a public hall, &  lucked out as it was
lunch hour and the receptionist was out! The box looked like it had been
rolled here, all the corners where broken and there where holes in  the
outer box also. Luckily the radio had been foamed in place, although a good
deal of the foam was now dust.... . I could not  believe that after I
cleaned it up it still worked fine! Jon AB9AH:
