absolutely have to, keep it or you'll wish you had. Many of us have
one in the rack with the R-390(*) receivers simply because it's a
breeze to tune for those across-band excursions. Not the 'best'
receiver in every aspect, but certainly in the top 5 or so for that
era. I bet many folks end up using them a lot more than the 'better'
radios, too.

And I have to absolutely agree.  Having had (and sold/traded) MANY different 
premium receivers over the years, I regretted getting rid of my last one even 
more than the R-390A's. (with my arthritic wrists the R-390A's are a little 
too much physically.   Which is why I'm going through all this "construction" 
of a SP-600 for a friend so that I can keep it's factory wired "brother".  It 
will be part of my modest "permanent Keeper Collection" this time!
