[R-390] FS: R-390A at Dayton

[Don Reaves W5OR]

Gang,
I will have a Motorola R-390A for sale at Dayton.  This is one I bought at a
hamfest in Shreveport LA a few years ago with the intent to use it as a
parts rig, but just never could justify taking parts off the thing after I
looked it over closely and removed all the debri (bird nest) from it. It is
missing the Utah plate, meters, top and bottom covers, has some minor
corrosion, has one broken tuning slug. But I believe it is a good candidate
for full restoration. It's in better shape than my blue striper was. Front
and back panels good, knobs need paint.  It has the 12BA6 mod for the
ballast resistor, which is easily reversed should you find a RT510.  The
26Z5's are missing but it may have the SS mod.  I have never fired it up or
removed any modules for a closer look.  Has a Collins PTO. The broken slug
is sitting down in the coil socket separated from the flexible metalic
shaft - a common problem that usually reponds to a bit of epoxy glue.

Here is contact information if you would like to find out more.  No digipix
yet - maybe tomorrow.
