[R-390] 1967 EAC with SSB modification Photos

[Bob Camp]

Hi

A few quick observations:

1) The electrolytics obviously were done after the radio left  
military service. I would take care of them before I did much else.

2) The "ssb mod" appears to have been very nicely done, but I 'm  
betting it's not an official conversion. My guess is that it's a well  
done amateur modification. The gray jacket wire looks a lot like  
Belden. It's not something you see in a mil. spec. mod.

3) The radio is a bit dirty on top, it's doing just fine on the  
bottom. The power transformer seems to be missing some markings though.

4) Everything that should be there seems to be present. That's  
including the black tube shields.

Looks like a nice radio - congratulations !!
