I spent 18 years working inside the German Auto Industry, and used the  
language every day.  DW got very close, but there were a few key  errors.  
Following is a little clearer translation of the text:
 
Shortwave receiver, Collins R390/A URR.  Tube device. Reception  coverage 
500kHz-30Mhz.  Manufacturer of the device is Capehart Corp.   The device works.  
In contrast to the usual R390/A, the device has no  mechanical filters in the 
IF, as you can see in the photos.  The famous  current regulator, 3TF7, was 
replaced by a resistor, postion in picture.   The device weighs 36 kg, so pickup 
is the best solution, but delivery through  GLS is possible, but 13.80 Euros. 
 A handbook copy can be sent along.   As a private seller, I cannot provide a 
guarantee and am therefore selling the  unit as defective.
 
(note: The word Gerat (device) translates well to English, but its use is  
awkward sometimes to native english speakers.)
 
Sounds like a pretty straight up description of the radio!
