[R-390] Heat Death -JX-28, Leary

[Al Parker]

Hi Les, et al,
	I just sent Dave some info and a link to my JX-28/R-620/FRR, I know 
you've seen it before:
<http://www.boatanchors.org/SP-600-JX-28.htm>
   it's pretty grubby looking there, it's getting better, slowly.
	Todd knows I have it, too.
	BTW, my Leary is very stable after 5-10 min. warmup.  Easy to listen to 
a SSB net on 20m for an hour with rarely touching it.

Only reference to it in manuals is an addendum to the TM 11-851 dated October, 1953. George has the feelers out on it, we talked about it, I know of two of them.

Of course, unlike you upper-crust SWLs who have seen and used at least one of everything, I've never seen anything that....new, which seems odd to be saying about old tube gear. I figured it might be one of the sub-contractor deals like Northern Radio or such. Clearly I need to get out more!
