dave..

The triton I have is really in nice cosmetic shape, it would be a  
shame to gut it for parts...

It's really in nice shape, for a triton IV....

It does need some fixing. Dial lights, band switch cleaned and a good  
tweak and peak and so on.

I'd like $200 + some help on shipping..


ps...I had picked up a omni D that was used on fd...the generator  
went bonkers and cooked the rig... took forever to get it back to life..

Hi Mike ,
What you look for in return?
I have a Triton 4 in fair shape that need the Final Assembly to finish
restoration.. The one that came with it was zorched by someone  
hooking up
that power connector backwards yikes that put 60 or 120 volt ac on the
finals.  and in the aftermath they just about distroyed the board  
trying to
fix it.. so might be interested in yours.

Thanks for the consideration.
