For Sale Gray rack cabinet. This is a standard 19" wide rack cabinet with 12.25 inches of rack space. The internal depth is 14.75 inches. This means that this cabinet will hold and R390, R390A and any of the early Super-Pros. It is not deep enough to hold an SP-600. This has an access door on top and louvers on the sides. It is painted a dark battleship gray and has lots of scuffs and scratches. The mounting rails have threaded holes for mounting screws. $50 Picture available. Now here's something different. This is a post-war BC-779-B Super-Pro to which a crystal oscillator modification kit has been bolted on. The radio itself has no military tag. the Hammarlund tag on the back is unreadable except for the embossed notation "LXR" and "4550". The xtal oscillator kit add-on has a military tag that says "Improvement Kit MC-531". The kit was made under a 1949 contract. This radio comes with a matching military power supply RA-84A made by Howard Radio in 1942 with a 1951 MWO stamp. Both radio and power supply are rack mount. They both have top and bottom covers. This radio was part of a diversity receiver setup called the AN/FRR-12. The crystal oscillator is clearly shown in manual TM 11-896. This setup dates from between 1948 and 1951. The radio front panel is dark gray and the power supply panel is light gray. I think the radio panel has been repainted. The radio has all the original knobs. The band switch, band spread and tuning controls all work as they should. The meter is original and looks good. This set comes with the original manual for AN/FRR-12 (TM 11-896) which clearly shows the crystal oscillator setup. The manual is unfortunately missing the schematic but I can supply a copy of a BC-779-B schematic to fill the void. Also comes with the correct cable to attach the radio to the power supply. All original as far as I can see. Untested and assumed to need restoration. As-is. $75 Pictures available. Heathkit AR-27 solid state FM receiver with original manual. 1969-vintage. Needs cleaned but will look excellent when done. Appears to be all original. Untested. As-is. $8 Sams Auto Radio Manual Volumes 12 and 23. These cover over 110 car radios from 1959 through 1963. Many popular brands. $11 including postage.
