I have a nicely restored R-390A that I would like to trade for high end 
equipment.  This receiver has had all the paper caps replaced.  All 
gears have been degreased and lightly lubed.  Tuning is smooth.  Racks 
were disassembled, cleaned and lubed.  Cams have been synchronized.  A 
full alignment was done.  Sensitivity ranges from 1.3 to 0.3 microvolts 
for 10 db S+N/N, except the broadcast band which is 2.5 microvolts. 
Most bands are 0.5 microvolts or better.  The front panel was 
professionally repainted and the engraved lettering filled in.  In other 
words, this is a plug n' play radio.

I value this radio between $800 and $1000, non-ebay pricing.  I sold a 
radio equal to this 4 years ago for $850.  I am interested in trading 
for a HP 8640B signal generator, Mackay 1030C receiver, etc., plus or 
minus $ depending on what you have and its condition.

I have three R-390A's, all restored.  Time to cut back and get something 
new.  You can see pictures of this radio at:

Thanks and 73,
