[R-390] What to do with a Garage sale find R390a.

[dog]

Well, I've never seen such interest in my 390a's. One of them has good 
filters in it, the other not so much, repaired, work but not great. 
There are some issues with the conversion oscillators, but nothing that 
can't be fixed fairly simply maybe just tubes. One missing one of the 
2nd conversion crystals, They both have been worked over and one IF 
strip has OD caps in it, the other has modern small caps in them, I can 
get the make from mouser, small blue Panasonics. Both RF decks work fine 
have been cleaned, tune fine, both PTO's are fine and very stable last 
time they were on. There may be some agc issues, but not extreme. Meters 
have been replaced. One has both, other has one and a good replacement 
for the other. Location is 50 miles west of DC. Hume, VA. I have most of 
the covers for one of them. Both regulator tubes still work, all tubes, 
no SS. Wired for original tube rectifiers. Front panels are not great, 
but not blue stripers. I did work on them for a few years.

Someone talk to me, I don't need them anymore. I'm not shipping. I'll 
entertain offers. Address is good in QRZ. email me if really interested. 
I'll be gone until Sunday eve, the 19th July  2020.

I have not tried plugging it in. Sale it, is my first thought, but the weight is a real problem. Would there be a market for parts from the radio. So any ideas would be appreciated.
