These are some shots form my Watkins Johnson PRD-11 that I now have running. I had to make the DF processor Antenna Switching box and a Antenna as the original was missing.. Two of these sets were obtained as recovered from the desert after 1999 in Iraq. The US military dumped them, and a few guys went out and recovered some damaged components, from which I rebuild this setup. The DF processor came form a closed repair centre in the early 2000's as parts, and was missing the Display cover and a few parts, which I reverse engineered..

So yet another Lockdown project, rebuilding another R390A collins reciever. All aligned just need the dial lock and some new stainless front pannel screws and we are done. A sweet reciever @ less than 1 micro volt sensitivity. I think this is the last set in the Collins pile of 390A recievers i had to rebuild so there are no more in the stash. And it appears they are not making any more either.. I was lucky to get these when I did from the USA because shipping now for a 46 killo radio is over $800 usd.

Restored this1920's radio. The dial has made in leichhardt NSW... printed on it.. uses early tubes.. The timber was very poor but after replacing the legs and half of one side, and reusing the original veneer its looks great.
