[R-390] Re: CV-89A

[Dan Merz]

Hi,  there was also a not-so-beatup R39Oa there for $900,  "make me an
offer".  I didn't.  This unit was shrink wrapped,  and looked clean.  I
later saw it unwrapped,  the knobs were cleaned down to the metal, ready to
be coated.  I think it left the swapmeet with the seller.  I was surprised
by some of the good prices on 50's/60's BA's,  lower than I thought from
experiences in the past.  I didn't buy anything because I have enough for
now and sold an HRO-50T to a guy that traveled across state to attend,  from
a town 8 miles away from me here.  He was delighted to find one,  Dan.

This year the Puyallup hamfest just outside of Seattle was well attended.
Strangely enough there was a beat up R-390A for $385... but the big surprise
was all the SuperPro-type receivers there... maybe 6 or 7.

Aside from little stuff, for $10 I got a pristine CV-89A FSK Converter. have
no idea what I will do with it, but is was squeaky clean with all 17 tubes
and IERC shields (and a 2BP1 CRT with a mu-shield) and lots of neat
transformers. It looks too cool to dismantle for parts, so maybe it'll just
be a conversation piece, stuck in the rack that I'll get one day *real* soon
for my 390A's.

Did pick up a nice Tek 1cps-1mHz generator for $15. I happen to like Tek
blue in my shop.......
