[R-390] Re: Wanted R-390A

[keller family]

I intend to sell all my boat anchors after the first of the year when I am recovered from some serious surgery and can handle the heavy radios.  The list includes three R-390As and lots of associated test equipment and parts.  I accumulated this stuff before I retired, intending to get serious about restoration and such.  But now, I know that I will never get around to it.  Other priorities have come up.  If I sell to the list, I don't intend to ask more than $450 or so for a complete, unaltered, working R-390A with meters but needing restoration providing that the buyer can make it real easy for me to ship it or deliver it.  I also have a Rick Mish (Miltronics) restored R-390A that has had everything done to it that Rick does in a complete restoration but has since developed a minor problem - and yes, it has the Miltronics sticker on the back to prove that it is a genuine Rick Mish restoration.  I will ask a little more for it, but still hundreds less than it would probably go for on e-bay.  I may go ahead and repair it before selling it, but if someone wants it as is, that's OK too.  I will also have an original condition, clean and working Collins 75A-1 and Johnson Adventurer to sell if anyone is interested, and even perhaps an SP-600.  I'll contact the list sometime in January to start disposing of the stuff.
