HERE IS A PARTIAL LIST OF EQUIPMENT TO BE AT THE SWAP MEET
Collins R-390A RX.
This radio has been checked out and it works. It has a couple of
controls that may need to be replaced and it's a little deaf in the 40 meter
range but it's really not bad for its age. It does fire up and does hear
stuff. All the mechanical filters are in place. It doesn't look
like anything has been scavenged from this receiver. Only thing is...the
antenna connection on the back of the radio has been modified. If
you are looking for one to restore, this would be an excellent start! WE
CURRENTLY HAVE A STANDING BID ON THIS UNIT OF $150 SO IF YOU WANT IT, IT WILL
COST YOU MORE THAN $150.

there are some plastic labels on the face that need to come off...but it's also a good restore receiver.

DIRECTIONS.....
The address of the TF-NAZ Church is 1231
Washington St. North.
Best way to get there is....if you are coming from
I-84, go into Twin Falls from Exit 173 and over the Perrine Bridge. Go
to the THIRD intersection with a STOP LIGHT. This will be COLLEGE DRIVE.
Lowe's Building Center will be on your left and Tomato's Restaurant will be on
your right. Turn RIGHT at that light, go west one mile (College of Southern
Idaho will be on your left) to the stop sign. The swap meet will be on
the opposite corner in the Nazarene Church north parking lot. You will
see our www.K7MVA.org banner on the corner.
Pull straight across the road then turn left into the parking lot. We
will have people there to help you get parked. If you have a GPS, this will be very easy to find.
Need a map? Click HERE
to print out a map.
Got stuff crowding up the shack? Bring it. Let
me know what it is and I'll list it on our website at
www.K7MVA.org
If you have any questions or comments, let me
know. Kelly, K7SU 208-308-5585
