Ya'll wake up.....here is your chance....(been too quiet around here)

I don't want to box them up and I need the space and don't plan to do any 
further work on them......

I have probably 6 maybe 7 complete R-1051 receivers, all in various states 
of repair but none work fully. Some pieces and parts and a box of misc. 
modules.  I want them gone!  I do have one working R-1051 plain and I plan 
to keep it and it's manual, so it's not included in this deal.  These 
receivers have not been out in the weather, they have been kept in my Air 
Conditioned shop for the last 7 or 8 years.  Prior to that these were the 
last of the complete R-1051's that Fair Radio had....I bought them all!

Stipulations.....You got to take all of it....if you want to split them up 
that's ok after they are all picked up and out of here.  They will fit 
easily in the back of a small pickup, or an SUV with the rear seat folded 
down with no problem.

I will not part any of them out to ship piece parts to folks.....Fair Radio 
sales has plenty of those!

I know you are asking why am I not listing these on the R-1051 list....good 
question!  That's where they go next.....The R-390 list is kinda my home 
list and I have been helped here a great deal over the years so you guys get 
first shot.  If no takers in the next few days I will list them on the 1051 
list.  If no takers there I will scrap the aluminum and send the rest to the 
landfill!  I know how you guys hate to see that happen so come and get these 
radio's.

I feel I could probably list them on ebay and sell them individually for 
probably $150 each but I don't want the hassle.....life is too short!

I live in Gulfport MS a few miles north of where Interstate 10 and MS Hwy 49 
intersect...not hard to find.

Of course I would be happy to take a tired but restorable R-390/URR as a 
gift in this process but it's not necessary to own this R-1051 pile.

Thanks....
