Because of various reasons I am seriously thinking about selling some
equipment.  I am really not sure if I want to do it or not.  It depends =
on
what I can get for the collection and if I can arrange for pick-up near
Dallas area and not shipping.

This is not a offer for sale, at least not yet.  I would like to get the
wisdom of the group.  This is the package.

R-390A/URR - Diettmore-Freimuth contact DAAB05-68-C-0040 SN 62A.   Good

deck,
and audio deck from same contract.  IF deck from EACH 67 contract.  =
Power
supply is Teledyne.  PTO is COSMOS.   No oddball mods.   IERC or =
equivalent
tube shields.  Currently set up and used - all bands okay.  Could stand =
a
retubing but I haven't got around to that.  You can spin the KC knob =
with
your little finger.

Radio

I plan on this being a cash only deal.  What do you think it will bring?
$1,000? $1,200? $1,500?
=20
I promise this is not some attempt to start a bidding war or seed =
something
on eb*y.  I don't sell on eb*y, but I do buy there.  I have been treated
fairly by the folks on this group and plan to do the same.

My arthritis and degenerative disk disease is to the point where I can't
manhandle these things anymore.  I have a near-mint Hammerlund HQ-145X =

well.  I saw one on eb*y go for $600. Most of the rest of my stuff is =
swap
fest material or stuff I want to hang on to for tinkering purposes.
