Hi Tom and the group --

I wanted one of these receivers for years and years
since they started showing up in the 80's and I finally
got one in trade for restoring a 390A for a guy. This
G-133F was in wonderful shape, looked like new, and
was sort of easy to use and just neat to look at
especially in a dark shack. Got a manual for it and
tuned it to the specs given and it was still not a bad
receiver, but sitting next to the 390A and the SP-600
even, it was just not good enough and despite the novelty
of it I ended up getting rid of it on the evil auction place.
It brought a princely sum too, I am not ashamed to admit.
Used that money to get a Mackay MSR-8000 tranceiver
which sits on my desk to this day ( great radio )

All this trading around and I still don't have a non-A 390
Sigh...
