yes there is...
as the thicko has replied...
alternative to rigpix, yes try rigpix.....what a moron.....

on a serious note there are a couple about, mainly german and other foreign
sites, not much in the UK front,
maybe one or two small limited ones, not sure of the address's...

I thought maybe you missed that section. Many rigs there including a few
UKFM and CEPT but indeed no Superstar 3900 yet. It is almost identical to
the Superstar 360 FM (internally and externally) anyway but Google Images
has some of the real thing.

http://images.google.com/images?q=superstar%203900

Note there are a few 3900 variants... some use a 3 way band selector with a
Hi-Lo switch to select between ABC and DEF and have the infamous 2SA1012
supplying power to the finals as used in the original PB010 chassis. The
better ones have a 6 way band selector and a beefier transistor supplying
the finals.

In fairness, I asked the question before I did a google search, bad, bad me
but in my defence the rigpix site doesn't have the 3900 which is the radio I
wanted to look up. Is it a new radio or something.?

no not new around 20 years old already,
but bear in mind rigpix is an amateur radio site, more than a CB site,
as there's not many intelligent CBers that can make a gallery for CB...

do a search there are a couple but again, these sites have stock and stolen
pictures of old CB from the 80's, nothing new..

I have a yeasu ft-102 which has two moving coil metres and when you key over
the secondry one doesn't slam over like it doors on cheaper radios, it moves
over with the grace and poise of a lady. It's a treat to watch.

Likewise, I have a graceful needle on my FT-890. Still, fairy lights look
pretty in a car at night.... innit.... especially LED ones, if you like that
sort of thing... and some still do funnily enough...

890. Beautiful radio. Looks like it's Solid state.

My only problem with my 102 is that you have to plate it when you change
bands. It's great for competitions etc.
..
I got an 897 too. It's a terrific sounding radio and the vfo is as smooth as
silk but the meter is an LCD bar and the front end as a whole is
dissapointing. I much prefer the front end on the 847. Ok it's not moving
coil but at least Yaesu attempted to make it look like one.

well he has admitted to having links to an amstrad 901.

i suppose, back in the days of morse TESTS , it was the only way for a
b-licence to get on hf.

I also like moving coil meters, my FT840 has a nice one, like watching it
(whether you have it switched to PO or ALC) at night on the boat, trouble is
the amp don't 'alf cane the battery, and the antenna on the mast gets hot
and glows, no good for the bonding.

Nothing like the gentle rocking of a boat and gentle contrasting movement of
a proper moving coil meter to make you shout huey over the side
