Sorry if this is a dupe but I never saw it come through the reflector.



   I have a good operating Delta that is surplus to my needs. It's not a museum 
piece but in good overall physical condition and clean. I would say about a 
7.5-8.0 as it has  a few scratches, dings etc to the metal case and to the top 
of the plastic bezel. Does not have the optional noise blanker or CW filter. 
Has the optional crystals for 30 & 12 meters but not for 17 meters. It's also 
missing the crystal for the upper portion of 10 meters 29.5-30 MHz. Not a big 
loss since mostly FM there and the Delta doesn't do FM.
   I have rebuilt the VFO and done a complete alignment. Receiver has a 
sensitivity of less than .1uv (limit of my generator) and power output is set 
for about 95 watts. It is missing the correct knob for the band switch but has 
been replaced with one that closely matches the other knobs. A previous owner 
drilled out the tuning knob to 1/4 inch and mounted it in place of the dial 
skirt after he hacksawed off the vernier part of the tuning shaft (one reason 
for the VFO rebuild) and didn't drill it plumb with the rotation center. I 
repaired it with an insert but there is a wobble when tuning. This just looks 
funny and doesn't cause any problems.
   Comes complete with a power cord and 20A AirPax fast circuit breaker with 
power pole connector and copy of the instruction manual. There is no mike 
included.
   I'm asking $245.00 plus shipping. If any interest or questions please ask.
