CTARC Swops - 19 May '22

FOR SALE:
Yaesu FRG-7 HF Receiver

R 750-00 neg.

CONDITION:
From a deceased estate, this radio is working - sort of... Various issues:
1.    The radio receives OK on one band. The other three bands are muffled or U/S. At the very least this rig needs re-alignment;
2    The lamp above the main tuning dial is dead. (The S=Meter light still works);
3.   The various functions (Modes, MHz and KHz dials, filter, ANL etc.) do appear to work but the switches could do with some switch cleaner.

Cosmetic condition - used but OK.

Therefore this rig is being sold AS IS - for restoration or parts.

ACCESSSORIES:
Power Cable 230v 3-Pin > attached to Rig
Original manual included

The item is in Cape Town. For collection, or P&P for purchaser's account.
