VINTAGE BROWNING GOLDEN EAGLE MARK IV RECEIVER
I bought this at an estate auction along with the mark 4 transmitter and a 776 microphone, both of which are
currently up for sale separately
(see my "other items"). I am not that knowledgeable about electronics but
I'll describe what I know and what I did to test the unit. I took the unit covers off and first noticed the brown overheated board on the bottom (shown in first pictures below) and that looked a bit suspect to me, so I
first powered it on with a dim bulb tester and it showed no concerns. I then powered it up slowly on a variac. The front panel lights lit at around 60 volts and some tubes were lit and no problems so far, but as I reached 70 I felt a bit of heat coming off around that browned board area and a bit more heat coming off the big silver cylinder cap on top, so I decided to stop there and and not do any further testing. The unit is in pretty good cosmetic condition and is very clean. Because I couldn't test the receiver further, I also could not test the transmitter or microphone (again, being sold separately) and am selling as not working and as is. The previous owner wrote on the inside bottom cover. Top metal faux wood grain cover is in excellent condition. A few marks on the face, but not too bad. There are 28 pictures to look through. Selling as is please. Thanks!
GREAT ITEM, GREAT COLLECTIBLE!
