Collins tagged R-391   S/N 138  No cabinet and no covers, clean and working
just like a  390. Works on all band and all filter widths.Some scratchiness
when switching bands.
I had intended to get the motor drive working and I did obtain a Lambda 5A
28vdc PS. but never got around to it. The Mhz. knob is not original
(currently a spinner) and I do have a spare 390A knob that can be drilled
out and adapted with a thin piece of square stock.(391's had a special
tuning knob to activate the motor drive. I will include the Lambda PS.
Copies of manual plus correspondence with Collins in 1991.
I have installed a numerical control dial  on the BFO shaft but I will
remove it and put the original knob back in place. All knobs original and
meters work.
This radio was purchased in the 80's in the FL area, brought to Canada and
used very rarely and then stored at a cottage for 30+ years.
When I got it I had a good radio man make a few adjustments, but no
modifications.
If you need pictures send me your email address.
I am asking $800, USD and pick-up only, sorry no shipping. I am located in
Montreal, Quebec.
