Hello-
Manson Labs synthesizer pair { used to operate a pair of R-1247
R-390A's}is available. These synthesizers are very rare and I have heard of
only several others out there.{ serial #'s are low, # 46 and # 71 on this
pair} The system they were part of is the GRC-129, consisted of modified
T-368 for SSB, pair of R-1247's { modified R-390A's by Manson Labs with osc.
switching relays}, SSB receiving converter, and auxiallary items.
This synthesizer provided for the tuning of receiver { substituted for
PTO}and has a mechanical digital counter {as on the receiver}.Other osc.
frequencies are provided by synthesizer { by "MC. CHANGE" switch on it, plus
17 MC. and 455 KC.
Units are in nice cond. and have not been powered up.I cannot locate any
technical data.
Here is a link for pictures of the Manson Labs
synthesizer pair.

will sell for 750 USD.
