I've decided to downsize my collection in a major way. I plan to have the following available at Ham-Com, or before, if anyone is interested. I'll be happy to demo any of it that is indicated to be in operating condition. NO shipping on items 1-4, but I'll work with you to assist an individual or shipper to pick up of the equipment. Otherwise I'll take no responsibility for shipping these indicated items. I"m located in the DFW area (zip 75077) north of the airport. I will deliver to Ham-Com and hold for a NON-REFUNDABLE 20% deposit. You won't be disappointed.
1. 1967 EAC R-390A (ser 1712). Custom "remanufactured" by Rick Mish. Perfect condition in all respects, except for one virtually invisible mark on the front panel. $1400.
2. Collins R-390 (ser 1173). Custom "remanufactured" by Rick Mish. Perfect, except the cal oscillator is a bit slow to start until the radio warms up. i haven't been able to solve the problem. This is is my everyday AM radio used with a Sherwood sync detector (not included). $2400.
Both of these items are beautiful "like new" radios, rarely seen in this condition.
3. Globe King 500B. Very late. A "500C" radio in everything but the meter faces and front panel stamp. Restored, excellent working and physical condition. Graphite 4-400A w/ low hours. $1500.
4. Globe Champion 300. Restored, excellent working and physical condition. Neg feedback audio mods documented. A good set of AX-9909's in the radio, and a NOS pair included in the price (worth $200+ by themselves). A couple of miscellaneous parts. $800. Really nice radio. I may decide not to sell it.
5. Drake TR-7. Fully operational, beautiful condition, with PS-7 power supply, general coverage transmit/receive mod, docs, service manual. Includes NB, 6Khz, 4Khz, SSB, RTTY and CW filters. $675.
6. Drake 1-A. (Pending SOLD)
7. CY-whatever correct Collins cabinet for (1)/(2) above. Purchased NOS from Mac McCollough, beautiful. By itself: $550. With (1) or (2), $350 firm.
8. Globe Scout 680, complete, unrestored. Nice, but some scratches. $100.
9. Drake RV-75, mint. With adapter cables for TR-5, TR-7, R-7 alone or TR7/R7 combo, etc. $650 alone. $500 with TR-7 listed above. I won't sell this unless the TR-7 sells first without it, for what should be obvious reasons.
10. Other stuff -- DX-40 (working, nice). Has the crystal door, but door paint doesn't quite match the cabinet. DX-20, AT-1, AR-3, nice, complete, but unrestored. No empty holes and NO mods, Thordarson 600W multi-match mod transformer (continuity checked but I have no means to hi-pot, and very heavy to ship), mod choke (from Bauer 707, very heavy to ship), late production B&W 850a with 160M (NEW, unused!!!!), 4-400A air sockets, other transmitter parts -- L-7 loading cap, vacuum variables , neutralizing caps, (from the AM transmitter I'll never get around to building, tubes (813's, 810's, more). Whatever will fit in the van. Tektronics/HP stuff (dead and gone, but great for parts). Also keys -- V'Plex, Begali Signature, others, and some good mics, including a PR-40 with shock mount, boom, floor stand, and other stuff.
I'll be in the OUTDOOR fleamarket. If you want to see anything in advance, call 214-629-8759, but give me time to clean up the shack and maybe finish building my KPA-500 after it arrives.
Might also have an Ameritron AL-1200, pre-MFJ, very low tube hours, internal QSK, mint, perfect. On the air, but undecided at the moment.
Shipping on the small and "light weight" items only. Everything's negotiable. Not a lot of wiggle room on the first few items. No trades. Downsizing, not replacing
