FS B&W Model 370 Single Sideband Receiving Adaptor. This unusual unit works
with receivers having i.f. frequencies between 450 KHz and 500 KHz.
That includes a lot of territory. A product detector and BFO are utilized in
a 17 KHz i.f. stage. It is a later Run II model. This is a nice unit and
provides excellent SSB reproduction. If you need a SSB Adaptor for your
R-390A, SP-600, or other boat anchor receivers with an i.f. between 450 to
500 Khz, this is a good choice. It is in good cosmetic condition, with some
scuffs, and flaking on the cabinet. The front panel is nice. The only
problem that I have found is the on and off switch in inoperative and has
been jumpered on the back of the switch. Everything else seems to work. The
tubes all light up and there is static in the speaker. I have not connected
it to a receiver. Price is $255 plus shipping. Manual included. Pictures
available. Thanks, Charlie Hugg, K5MBX
