R-390 For Sale - Pickup Only

[TinEar]

I have a military HF radio - an R-390/URR and SSB Mode Selector - for sale. It's just too heavy for shipping so I have to offer it for sale locally and only for pickup. It includes two pieces:

1. The R-390/URR for the Army Signal Corps made by Motorola (very rare), serial number 491

2. Receiving Mode Selector, CV-591A/URR, Model MSR 4, serial number 4909 made by Technical Materiel Corporation of Mamaroneck NY. This is the single sideband selector with a world of controls including AVC, BFO, Bandspread, Audio Gain, etc. for perfect reception of SSB.

No need to describe the capabilities of this radio since anyone interested would be very familiar with it. I've had it in storage for several years and don't know it's current operating condition. It worked perfectly the last time used but after storage might (or might not) need a couple of tubes replaced.

Included is the original Department of the Army Technical Manual/Department of the Air Force Technical Order (134 pages, published January 1955) and the original Instruction Manual prepared for the military by Collins Radio Company (209 pages, published October 1953) for the R-390 including schematics. Plus...the original Technical Manual for the Mode Selector Unit prepared by The Technical Materiel Corporation for the Bureau of Ships, Department of the Navy - also including schematics (published October 1958). Those original documents might be worth their weight in gold to a collector.

If interested, contact me via PM or email at boston@erols.com with an offer. This is a stock photo of the unit....

I also have a Radio Shack PRO-2041 and PRO-2032 along with a Uniden BC350C that I'd like to find new homes for locally. Only one with a problem is the BC350C. It works fine but has no power supply with it. It was installed mobile and has the power plug for the back of the radio but just red/black wires attached to it. Make offers for one or all.

And then there's a Radio Shack PRO-2005 (Unblocked). Missing one of the rubber feet on the bottom of the radio. Backlight is bright and clear and has that amazing reception this radio is famed for. Open to offers. Figured I'd offer them in this area before moving them to the For Sale thread on the main Forum page or the whole lot over to <shudder> Ebay.

If there's any local interest in those listed radios - Radio Shack PRO-2032, PRO-2041, Uniden BC350C or the Motorola made R-390 two piece unit - let me know. I'm going to move the listings to the Forum's main For Sale thread tonight or tomorrow morning. I'm also going to add another Icom IC R75. I already sold one of them and have decided to sell another. It'll still leave me with one of them to go along with an Icom R8500 and that's enough in the way of HF radios. I'm really not interested in trades since the reason for selling is that I have plenty of radios - too many in fact - and need to make room. Just make a reasonable offer (even a low one) and it/they can be yours.
