[Boatanchors] Spoken For: FS: Transmitter, Radio T-366A/ARC

[Al Parker]

Hi William,
	By any chance did you get more than one wanting it?  I have one I'd be 
happy to move on to a new owner.  Pse let me know if you get another 
bite.  It's not as new looking as yours, and price will be adjusted.
73,

The 5 crystals are: KC 6750, 121.7 MC, 6772.222 KC, KC 6783.333, KC 6805.555.  The crystal packages are in the larger plastic configuration.  The 121.7 MC crystal is hermetically sealed while the other crystals have two screws fastening the top covers to the crystal containers.

The paint is nearly mint with only a couple of tiny nicks towards the rear of the left side and evidence of a touch-up job, about 1/8" square on the upper left side towards the front.  The coax couplings are tarnished, not surprising, but the larger connectors and microphone jack show no corrosion.  All other screws look great.  The only defect I see is a small warp along the top left side of the box.  This has no effect on how the top cover is attached.  This is a visual defect only and is not noticeable from a stand-off distance.
