Title: MINTY FRESH EAC R-390A magically appeared! Post by: WBear2GCR on May 08, 2019, 06:53:25 PM As if by magique!
Minty Fresh. EAC R-390A from the big non-ebay auction here in NY. Was non-working, blown B+ fuse, and DOA original JAN 6AK5 oscillator tube for the 17mc oscillator. Clean, no sign of any *lube*!! Very little wear on the slug rack ways. Will have to spend some time doing the lube and checking the PTO end points. Works FB!! Title: Re: MINTY FRESH EAC R-390A magically appeared!

Looks very clean for sure. Joe-GMS Title: Re: MINTY FRESH EAC R-390A magically appeared! Post by: W2JBL on May 08, 2019, 07:23:01 PM By "Hal" Auction do you guys mean Hal K6DPZ? I sold him a lot of stuff 20 years ago and would like a chance to get my TMC SSB exciter, GPR-90 and HQ180 back.
Title: Re: MINTY FRESH EAC R-390A magically appeared! Post by: WBear2GCR on May 08, 2019, 09:53:20 PM Yep... Joe, and Chris, Hal's stuff. An incredible stash.
Once in a century type stuff here in quantity, notwithstanding Vortex Joe's stuff. Well over a thousand pieces have been sold, and it's really just starting... And Chris, I can give you the auctioneer's name. You can contact. (email me) The GPR-90 may have just been sold. I know who got it. So, IF there are distinguishing features, they could be checked. Nothing else TMC has shown up so far. But frankly, I think your horse has left that barn - you'd have to bid on it to get it, unless maybe you have paperwork to prove ownership??

I did score a HQ-180 (amongst a bunch of other stuff), maybe it was yours Chris? Any way to identify it? Was with a HX-500 which is what I was really interested in. Got some other cool stuff, about 50% of what I've gone thru is either working or very easily repaired. A 75A-4 needed a fuse and a 5Y3, a SX-73 needed a fuse and a 5U4 to work, etc. Auction house said at least 5 more auctions, at 200 lots per auction.
