Hi Group!

Well ?  I finally obtained my first piece of TMC
equipment!!!  YIPPPEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

And it's even the one I was hoping for :)
Hope I didn't snatch it away from anyone here,
but you all KNOW how I've been looking for an
SBE-2 ever since I saw the AN/URA-23A in my 59
ARRL Handbook (p.60 opposite the GPR-90 advert).

I'm not sure if the PP-1769 is coming with the
SBE-2, so I may be looking for one of those, too.
And I'm sure I'll need the TM/docs for the both.
Seems to me I read someone here a few months ago
that had/has the manual for the SBE-2.  If so...
would that person please get in contact with me ?

The manual is going to be very helpful as I'm sure
this exciter is going to need some TLC, plus some
of the tubes (7 missing), and a couple of the knobs.

BTW, can someone tell me what the rack mount receiver
mate was/is for this exciter ?  If it wasn't config'd
with a mating rcvr, then what (other than the R-390)
had the same coverage and 'look' about it ?!  GPR-90 ?

As you might gather...  I'm fairly new to TMC's :)
(but have been BA'ing for the last several years)

Thanks -n- 73 to all...
