Default R390A for Amp

I would like to trade a Capehart R-390A for a linear.

Prefer something using 3-500Z tubes. I have tubes if yours doesnt. Looks are
not all that important, but working condition is a must.

The R-390A is in nice condition with no mods. The Megacycle and Kilocycle
knobs work freely and checking against WWV seems to be on frequency.
Like any receiver of this age it could use an alignment and possibly some
tubes are weak.

There are no covers or case with the receiver. If you are interested, we can
swap pictures. For a really nice amp, I will throw in an antenna coupler
(CU 168/FRR) that can feed 5 receivers.

Like the receiver, the coupler was designed by Collins to go with the 390's
but this one manufactured by another company. Looks like new.

I don't want to overstate it, but it is clean for it's age and is not one of
the junkers floating around on ebay.
