[R-390] Imperial R-390A for sale

[R390rcvr@aol.com]

Good afternoon all:

Well, the shack is too full, so I need to make at least a bit of room.

For sale:

Imperial Electronics  37856-PC-63 # 1884                

Condition:

Missing original meters, does have a pair of unhooked up replacements. Assume 
they are not the proper specs, I haven't tried them, as it came this way.

No covers.

4Kc filter dead

Antenna relay has had the twin-ax connector removed for some reason. 
Unbalanced connector is OK. Should be easy to do the field change #5, where the 
unbalanced connector becomes the preferred connector.

Ding/crease in PTO cover, works fine however

Power Transformer works fine, but same insult that dinged the PTO pushed in 
the top down.

Matching ding on left lower edge of side panel

Engraved panel, with uneven paint, should be refinished, as should the knobs. 
No extra holes, such as diode load on front panel.

Radio plays well, on all bands. I had the front panel down because of several 
slipping/broken gear clamps. They have been replaced. I cleaned the gear 
train, and it works nicely. The MC detent spring is set very lightly, so it is 
very easy to spin up the dial, but you do have to pay a bit of attention to be 
sure it stays in the detent. It has a new 3 wire cord. Three fuses on back 
panel.

Having seen a lot of the St. Julien radios, this one internally is much 
better, with minimal corrosion. I have had several of Fair's used/repairable units, 
and this one is a sig. better starting point. I don't think there will be a 
lot of corrosion related gremlins to chase, as I have had to do with the Fair 
units.

Module composition. Cosmos PTO, Collins IF(Mod 1), Teledyne for other 
modules.
It still has the rectifier tubes. 3TF7 has been jumpered, with 12BA6 in PTO.

Price $275. I have a Hank Arney shipping box, which I will be happy to send 
to you, but you will need to mail it back, usually 12-15$ depending on your 
location.

I can provide any level of digital photos required. I also can burn a CD with 
the tech. manuals and send with the unit.
