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

[Les Locklear]

A pair of 390A’s would Leary have made it a 780B? Those NC-400’s he made into a single chassis was dubbed a NC-800..............

He had an imagination. Some of his receivers worked perfectly, others needed lots of diagnostic work and tweaking. He wasn’t much on a good rf alignment on the SP-600’s, nor the dial indexing.........

          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.

I tried not to drool too much when viewing this at Shelby. It was hot and dehydration, an issue. But what a COOL receiver. It's always nice to see the visually-tamer Leary example. I think the pair of NC-400s he combined would make my eyes bleed. 

I bet he would've had fun with a -390A!
