Good morning All;
I don't post much, But read most of your posts. What a wealth of
knowledge and
helpful members.
I have just come into possession of a Dittmore Freimuth R-390A
Upon initial inspection I found the following:
1. The IF deck "DAAB05-68-C-0040" Has a set of Collins filters in it.
S/n 34.
Did DF put out an R-390A's with Collins filters?
I read some where that some of the early ones did have them.
All the wiring around the filters looks Original. Very nice
Professional wiring and soldering.
So I don't think anyone swapped them out.
2. The IF, 2nd Osc, RF decks are the same 1968 contract number.
3. The Audio and PS deck are the 1967 EAC contract. "FR-36-039-N-6-0155
4. The front name plate and the rear chassis are the same 1968 contract
number.
Being that It has Collins filters, my question is:
Do I really have an actual Dittmore Freimuth receiver?
It receives on all bands "Weakly" I intend to restore it, but want to
find out what I really have.
Hope someone can tell me a little more about it.
