I have an old 751 that I use for testing and backup. Like Rick said,
I the size does not bother you, it appears to be a reliable
transceiver. I used it for CW on 40 meters for years. As always, on
E-bay, you take a small risk.

Looking to buy a 751 for my camping trailer. Is this
a decent radio, or problematic? Prices seem very
reasonable, even on Ebay....


I now have a 751 (non-A) sitting next to my Rick Mish all-Collins
R-390 (non-A). Nice set of ears. I'm not licensed, and so don't get to
test the Xmit side -- except maybe into the dummy load, but I'd rather
not go even _there_.

The reviews mentioned earlier in this thread make me feel even better
about getting it, and a little worse about the price I paid the OM I
bought it from. It's _mint_. and I paid $250 for it yesterday.

Now I _gotta_ get my ticket! Letting my Novice expire in 1963 was a
serious mistake.




Mike;
If you can still prove your novice license you get the code credit
automatically. You can then get a hf license (gen/extra) for the written
tests.

Yep. I'm in the 1963 callbook, as established by some very generous
folks. So all I really need to do, rule-and-exam-wise, is swot up the
question pools and find some VEs in the Oklahoma City area. But I
think I really ought to swot up the code, too.

_Really_ looking forward to getting a signal on the air, for the first
time in far too long.
