I have an old 751 that I use for testing and backup. Like Rick said,
I the size does not bother you, it appears to be a reliable
transceiver. I used it for CW on 40 meters for years. As always, on
E-bay, you take a small risk.

I now have a 751 (non-A) sitting next to my Rick Mish all-Collins
R-390 (non-A). Nice set of ears. I'm not licensed, and so don't get to
test the Xmit side -- except maybe into the dummy load, but I'd rather
not go even _there_.

The reviews mentioned earlier in this thread make me feel even better
about getting it, and a little worse about the price I paid the OM I
bought it from. It's _mint_. and I paid $250 for it yesterday.

Now I _gotta_ get my ticket! Letting my Novice expire in 1963 was a
serious mistake.




Mike;
If you can still prove your novice license you get the code credit
automatically. You can then get a hf license (gen/extra) for the written
tests.
