    NICE LOOKING WRL GLOBE CHIEF
    WORKS -- KIND OF -- SEE BELOW
    COVERS 160 -- 10
    NO RESERVE
    GREAT RESTORATION RADIO
    WITH TWO OLD RELIABLE 807'S THE GLOBE CHIEF WAS A POPULAR NOVICE AND GENERAL CLASS RIG BACK IN THE 50'S AND 60'S.  WHILE LONG GONE FROM THE HAM SCENE, WRL TRANSMITTERS ARE STILL IN USE IN MANY SHACKS.
    THIS ONE IS VERY NICE.  THE CABINET IS TRUE WITH REALLY NO NOTICABLE DINGS/DENTS.  PAINT APPEARS ORIGINAL.  FRONT FACE IS VERY CLEAN.  LOOSK VERY NICE.  I HATE TO SAY THE FACE IS FLAWLESS BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL FIND A MINOR CHIP, BUT IT TRULY IS EXCEPTIONAL FOR ITS AGE.
    CHASSIS HAS SOME STAINING ON IT, BUT ALL IN ALL, NOT TOO BAD FOR A 60 YEAR OLD RIG.
    THIS IS ONE OF THOSE "I'M GOING TO WORK ON LATER" RADIOS THAT I BOUGHT.  HAD A NOTE ON IT SAYING I REPLACED THE FILTER CAP (THOSE FILTER CAPS IN THIS RIG ARE HARD TO FIND). NOTE ALSO SAID THAT IT HAD OUTPUT.  MENTIONED THAT THERE APPEARD TO BE SOME COLD SOLDER JOINTS, SO IT STILL NEEDS CHECKED FROM THAT STANDPOINT.  THAT SAID, I MANAGED TO GET OUTPUT AS EVIDENCED BY MY "WATTMETER."
    THE FOUR SMALL RUBBER BUMPER LEGS ARE MISSING.  PRETTY EASY TO FIND THESE PUSH-IN LEGS ON THE INTERNET AND ELSEWHERE.
    SO YOU HAVE A PARTIALLY CHECKED OUT RIG THAT LOOKS PRETTY NICE.  THE NEW OWNER WILL WANT TO USE SOME DEOXIT, TIGHTEN CHASSIS SCREWS, CHECK OUT SOME OF THE SOLDER JOINTS, ETC.  BUT AGAIN, IT IS WORKSING -- BUT PROBABLY NOT UP TO SPECS.
    NO RESERVE.  USA SALES.  THIS IS PRETTY HEAVY SO EXPECT SHIPPING TO COST A FEW $$$.
