[R-390] Julien Creek receivers...

[Gene Beckwith]

Om Ken,

Wow!!  Totally not so....I've been away from the list for some time and
seems our lore is slipping into obscurity....!!

The now famous St J's are a legend and I can offer testimony as to their
restroability...

I pick up two from Fair that had their "Blue Strips" in place plus some
yellow...and some black...plus a fair share of 'sand' from the out door
bivwac ...

My only mistake was I didn't pick anothe half dozen...when they were
stacked to the ceiling over at Fair...

Today they are in regulars use here at W8KXR...and in one case, as I've
just mentioned in another post to the list...visitors want to know where
they can oder one...the second was intentionally left with a trace of
"blue" just to remind me of the battle scares this beauty has been
through....

If you are new to this list you will learn that all info needed for a
complete restroation or clean up, depending on how much work (learning)
you're willing to absorb...is avialable.

The St. J's are a legend...and if u have one...or more...get
started...Mine hold their own with most of the new sushi boxes .... not
bad for multi year old technology...

73,

Gene
