[R-390] cy 979 Cabinet

[William J. Neill]

In consideration of the topic about cabinets, does anyone know of a source for CY-1119/U racks.  These were used for receiving sets such as the FRR-38, 39, 40, and 41.

As comment, I'm still running an R-390(A) that I purchased in 1970 from Mac when both of us lived in Dallas.

As I recalled, I paid $500 for each cabinet a few years back which is probably a little nuts for a metal box, however, what a really nice metal box! ! !   Mac, came through for me each time and did EXACTLY what he promised,  I would have no reason do doubt his integrity and trust that he will come through with he promises.. I only wish more people I have dealt with on ePRAY had half the integrity that Mac obviously has..
