[R-390] Tell me about Single Sideband Converters

[Bill Hawkins]

The CV-157 is the best? Well, that depends on your tolerance
for heavy equipment, about 110 pounds.

I have one from a guy who shipped it in a paper towel carton
packed with peanuts, stuffed with random tubes. Cost me $300,
but I was young and foolish. Guy seemed to have stopped taking
his meds when I told him that one corner of the works in a
drawer looked like someone had stepped on them. Completely
unreasonable.

So here I am with a complete CV-157 with a rebuild tag and mostly
the wrong tubes. I have lost my fascination with the servo controlled
carrier centering device, but it's all there. I started to unhook
wires to the drawer in order to remove it and fix the squashed
100 KC amplifier. I did isolate the filters and check them with a
scope and HP 200CD, all looked good, made by Orion. Yes, there's
a copy of the manual.

Anybody want to make an offer over $150 plus shipping? Hate to see
a rare piece of gear languishing in a corner of the warehouse.
Preference to pickup in Bloomington, MN 55438 but can ship it.

Bill Hawkins
