[R-390] Items for Sale

[Dave or Debbie Metz]

ITEM 1
R-390  (nonA).  Works nice even without alignment.  I have had this 
for a few years, not even sure how many at the moment.  The front 
panel looks really nice. Most of the knobs are probably repainted but 
look nice. The chassis seems a bit dirty but not filthy.  Ballast 
tube has been replaced with a 15LE8 to act as a resistor and this 
works great  to bring down the voltage to 12.6v for the BFO and 
VFO.(Very easy reversal if you want)  Meter for line level is as it 
should be, the carrier meter is a reasonable replacement but not 
accurate of course.  It has the top and bottom covers and they are a 
pair of Hank's replacements. I was just listening on 80 and signals 
are nice.  Reason for selling is that I know I will never find the 
time to finish it up with a full alignment and service and use it 
frequently. Even in it's present state, it works very nicely. It has 
the original tube pin straighteners and the tube pullers on the back. 
I don't really want to head to the 'bay just yet so I thought I would 
ask a reasonable price here and give preference to someone who will 
pick it up in Staunton Va in the next month or I can possibly deliver 
it via my daughter back to Washington, DC this weekend.  Price 
$650.  If it doesn't work out as far as DC or pickup,  I will ship it 
CONUS only with the following stipulation:   I have a military hard 
shell transit case that is just about bullet proof.  shipping weight 
will be approximately 135#  with the radio inside from 24401 and in 
addition to the sale price plus shipping, I will charge a $100 
deposit on the transit case to cover shipping it empty back to 
me.  When I get it back (at the buyers expense) I will refund the 
$100 deposit.  I don't have one of Hank's boxes to ship this and I 
want to make sure it gets to a location in one piece with a minimum 
of effort on my part to make a secure box.


ITEM 2
Kenwood R-1000 that works nice. It had the AGC modified by Bob 
Roehrig and he even published the article in QST and the article is 
included along with the original manual and box. This will be double 
boxed and shipping is from 24401.  I have not weighed it all packed 
up it but would guess about  30 lbs shipped.  Again, there is nothing 
wrong with this radio, but I just need to clean house because its 
been on the shelf for a couple of years.  Price $220 plus shipping, CONUS only.


ITEM 3
Now... gasp..... a less than boatanchor.  TEN TEC  Rx 320D  computer 
controlled radio.  This is a really neat little radio to set next to 
the computer and listen with the control screen minimized.  Copies 
AM, SSB, and can output the audio to the sound card and when used 
with the DRM software, can listen to digital broadcasts.  it is about 
as close to being NIB as it can get being several years old.  Please 
go to the TEN TEC web site and look it up for all the details. 
Current price is  $349 plus shipping from TEN TEC and I will ship it 
for $$270  CONUS so you will save about $100 and get something that 
is just as good as new. Included is software, manual, cables and 
Power supply. There  also has some really great 3rd party software if 
one does a google search.

ITEM 4
Nice working  and cosmetically great R-1051B with a shock 
mount.  These are not band cruisers but are dead on accurate for 
listening to a fixed freq such as the military 11.175mhz.  Comes with 
power cord, but no audio plugs or manual.  For years I have just used 
a 1/4" plug on the front and sent the audio to a 600 ohm speaker. 
Again, priority would be given to pickup or delivery connections to 
DC perhaps this weekend. Price is $350 plus shipping from 24401 .  I 
have not packaged this up yet but my guess is that it will run about 
100 lbs adequately packaged, without the shock mount which would be 
packaged separately at another 20 lbs or so.  Two packages!

ITEM 5
Nice working but not so nice cosmetically looking R1051B plus shock 
mount and power cord.  Again, same details as above but price is $200 
plus shipping or pickup.




Thanks for looking,
