[R-390] Preproduction R-390

Actually,  I had JKF's SX-62A.  I trashed it for parts to make a 3 tube, 
band switching, SWL regenerative receiver with built in dial lites.
By the time I got it finally oscillating I found out what a treasure it 
was........ 
I tried to put it back together but when I tried to weld the four pieces 
of the chassis back together they warped. 
Then there was the glass plate.  I just couldn't get it looking as good as 
it originally was. The glass cutter I used was dull and some pieces broke 
off jagged and had to be pitched.
At least the cabinet is OK it is painted like a Collins S-Line cabinet and 
has a MINT Collins 75S-1 in a rackmount adapter mounted in it.
I guess I'll have to put a note in the cabinet to let everyone know that 
this was JFK's SX-62A cabinet from AF-1.
I wonder what I can get for it on E-Pay?????????????
