=== Full disclosure: This radio needs work to get it going. ===
I got it in a trade with another ham a few years ago. I bought a 4-band filter board for it, and after staring intently at the parts layout diagram I STILL installed the four trimmer capacitors backwards! It does work with them installed this way. I was told the difference is that the metal screw heads you adjust are grounded when they are installed correctly. Otherwise one could probably use a plastic adjustment tool. You can also remove them and install them correctly.
As I recall, the alignment procedures went fine except for 15m, where there was no output. At this point I put it aside and it has been collecting dust.
The ham I got it from thought it would look better with wooden side panels. They're nicely finished and about 1/8" thick. They don't look awful, but I wouldn't have done it. Not sure if they are glued to the existing aluminum side panels or if the screws hold them. The radio is cosmetically good in every other respect.
Serial Number 00863
U.S. $300. I will pay for shipping to addresses in Canada or CONUS.
73 and thanks for your interest,
