___________________________________________________________________________
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.

Drake 2B...this receiver does work.  The power cord needs replaced and 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   kelly@K7SU.com
 
In case of bad weather, we reserve the right to cancel at the last minute but we will do our best to let you know if it's going to be cancelled.
We will monitor the local  Twin Falls repeater at 146.76, no tone, and Mt. Harrison, 147.00, -600, PL 100.  We will also monitor 146.52 simplex.
