Thanks; sounds like prices are down.  $300 for a nice R390A would have
been unheard of a few years ago.

Of course the guy with the Howard Mills restored Collins gear might haul it to a few feats before the right buyer showed up. And some folks hang on asking too much for less valuable items. Most folks stick a “starting price” on the gear and are open to fair offers. $400 on a really nice working R-390A. Sold for $300.. Etc.
