[R-390] Downsizing R-390A and R-390 for sale

[Bernice & Al]

Hi All,

During the summer of 2003 I posted a MSG indicating that I would be selling 
my radios sometime in the future. This was due to a progressive 
neuromuscular disease that I have and that  my wife and I would be moving 
into a seniors citizens home, no antennas. At that time I expected that the 
move would be made in less than a year. Well the less than a year has 
stretched into more than a year now. The most recent info I have is that I 
was told to be ready to move with four weeks notice within the next six 
months. So now is the time to act on selling off all my radios including the 
amateur stuff.

The first 5 in the "To" addressees above, were those who expressed an 
interest in 2003. The  "first 5" will have priority. In 2003 I promised them 
that when the time came to sell they would have priority.

I am posting this message to give all those interested in the Collins R-390A 
and the R-390 radios a chance to purchase this equipment prior to listing on 
the auction block. For those that are interested, I will provide details by 
email on each of the equipment's.

AS for pricing I have no real sense of a fair value for the radios. I do 
know that the R-390A has gone for more than $700 in a similar condition to 
mine. I will indicate a price for each item, but PLEASE, don't consider this 
as my one and only price, high or low, but as a staring number. Please feel 
free to tell me if I am way off base. A package deal is a definite option.I 
want to be fair to everyone on this Mailing List. Also, I would prefer to 
either have the equipment picked up or I would deliver or meet someone 
within 3 hours driving of Montreal, Canada. The reasons for this, it saves 
on packing and shipping costs and secondly I would like the buyer to try the 
radio they are purchasing.
