[R-390] Unfamiliar R-390 variant on ebay overnight

[Jacques Fortin]

Roger, you should have a better look.
IF band select is there (selectivity KCS)
Antenna matching is there (ANT TRIM)
BFO pitch is there (BEAT FREQUENCY)
Terminal board screws ???
Are you sure you looked at the right item ??

Can be a home-brew project, I agree 100%, but what if it is something else ?
The antenna relay box is not the standard one either.
We need to see the rear and bottom sides.

Fellows, That is a home brew project. No IF band select.No Antenna Matching.No BFO pitch adjust. Terminal board screws on the front bezel. It looks like a rebuild to a low power transmitter. Who know what the original design was and the e Bay sellerdoes not know how to put of photos of the other sides of the box that would help the seller sell their box.  Other than two big knobs, why does any one think this is an R390 thingy? Nice item.  -----Original Message-----

Group;

    The following appeared on ebay in last day or so.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Collins-R390-Receiver/392774304538?hash=item5b732c431a:g:TPIAAOSwp6ReofXP

Thought I' d ask for some feedback from the more experienced members of the group on this receiver.

Best Regards,
