I have located an Icom R-70 but the since the owner is not interested in a
> trade I now must sell the MacKay 3010-B vice trade. Here is the poop:

> ITT/MacKay 3010-B rcvr. Serial number M0055. Rack mount version/no
cabinet.
> Covers 700khz to 30 mhz continious. No optional filters, just the 6kc
> filter. Naturally this rcvr sounds great, both am and ssb. If it did not
> have this bizzare measuring tape tuning thing I would probably keep it

No

or

since
> I really want an R-70 this is now for sale to pay for that. No pictures,

> $375 shipped lower 48. Payment by money order only.

or
> 4400 center tapped (or 1/2 of 3300/4400 each side of CT) at 1.75 amps CCS.
> This is a brute and is 150 pounds so pick up only please in San Diego.
> Measures about 17" tall by 11" by 11". Price is $175 pick up only. Payment
