[R-390] The BFO pitch counter dial?

[Grayson Evans]

Well, I will certainly look into shipping by boat and other methods.  I have a while to work on it.
The airlines have gotten to be a real pain in the ass about luggage and especially overweight luggage.  Most international flights will limit the weight to 50 lbs.  Turkish airlines is one of the few that will let you pay for 75 lbs.  Anything over, you cant take. 

In the case of the R390, which is by far the heaviest thing I would ship, it is very feasible to remove all the modules (especially the PS) and ship the parts separately.  Other stuff like the 51S-1 will make the weight cut.  I go back to the US once or twice a year, so I will start taking what I can.

Thanks everyone for the advice!

> Grayson,  The r390a's are such a nice rx I hope you can save as many as possible.  They're worth about $600 in decent working order.  Can you send stuff home before you come back?  Do you know anyone there that would bring one back for you?  Even saving some components would be nice: IF deck, vfo, xctl osc deck.
