I have a 7690 for sale.  It was my go to radio in my shack for the
last 12 years.  I bought it from an estate in New Mexico, brought it
home and repaired it.  I have some pictures to share if you are
interested.  It has the serial interface included.  I removed the
military connector and replaced it with a standard DB-9.

Knowing the issues that are caused by leaking batteries I removed the
battery and moved it to the back of the radio off of the CPU circuit
board.  When I went through the radio preparing it for sale I realized
the NM Hydride batteries were bad.  I replaced the NM hydride battery
with 2 AA cells with a blocking diode simplifies the whole process.

The radio has 5 filters, 400Hz, 1200Hz 3.4KHz 6.8KHz and 16KHz.  The
radio is in the Houston area, I am asking $1200 for it, that price
includes the speaker pigtail and power cord.  I will be shipping
domestically via UPS.  Local pick is ok as well.  Please contact me
off the list.
