Hello Andrew. Thanks for the excellent technical demontration od the SPR-4. Enjoyed the demo of the adjacent station rejection. Hearing WWVH and WWV from Australia was awesome ... I listen to WWV almost everyday. WWVH is only heard occasionally at my QTH in Ontario Canada. You scored an SPR-4 and an SW4, amazing. Looking forward to your next classic SW receiver videos. Many AR88's were made in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Always a real thrill to make cantact with you on the Southern Cross Net. Lately (April 2024) you are much stronger S8-9 than Jack. Take care Andrew.

Thanks Mike! Yes they were great finds and I have even more stuff tucked away I hope to get to one day :) I've wanted an AR-88 for a long time and was very fortunate to get that one along with many spare tubes. It's a shame it didn't have the cabinet but most of them were rack mount installations from what I understand anyway. It will be really interesting to see how the AR-88 comes up with an alignment. 73 and catch you again on the Southern Cross Net real soon. Andrew VK3USA/VK2XXL.
Great sounding radio.
