I have the following radio that I am unsure whether to sell via parts
on the auction site or try here first. So..... I am located in
Staunton Va and will be traveling to Raleigh NC and Fayetteville this
weekend and could meet sometime this weekend. With cell phones,
this should not be that challenging. (Anywhere along the route is
acceptable too.. US 29 etc.NC 86 and I-40) Price: $425 cash on
delivery. The story is in the details of course:
This unit was bought a couple of years ago with the intention of
restoring and no way I will ever get to it. Inside, it is
spectacularly clean and nice. It had a couple of broken clamps and I
have replaced them with WW Grainger stainless replacements. It does
not have meters. Included is a totally refinished new front panel
and another one that is presently on the unit to work on it until it
was electrically finished. It has a Stuart Warner tag, Utah cover,
bottom cover but no top cover. It is missing some hardware screws
that hold the front panel on. The knobs are there but need to be
refinished. I have yet to plug it in but because all that has been
done is get the gear clamps replaced. It has 26Z5's not the solid
state. The veeder root counter needs to be refinished. I believe it
is complete less the screws and meters, but if something is missing,
it would have to be minor hardware as the only possibility.
When this unit is done putting refinished knobs on, the refinished
front panel, finding some meters, some front panel screws, this will
be a beautiful looking radio. It's going to take the usual
reassembly by the manual including mechanical alignment and
electrical alignment .
In the event there is no takers on delivery or pickup, I will
consider shipping but no guarantees. As always, Rules of Ware, apply.
thanks,
