[Milsurplus] Looking for ORIGINAL R-390 and T-368 manuals

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Tom, Todd, et al,

We still have post-Rita issues here and I haven't had time to check on all of 
this.  But I am supposed to have extra originals of some of the long-number 
series manuals on R-390/URR and T-368(*)/URT and have scanned for reprinting 
some of the ones I only have one of.  It appears (but I have to find the 
original -10's and -20's and confirm it) that the poor quality of what's on LOGSA 
isn't the fault of the source documents (if they used originals and not someone 
elses copies) but of whoever did the scanning.  For example, I compared my TIF 
of TM 11-809-35 and Changes to the one on LOGSA and to one done by someone 
else.  Photos and schematics in mine are fine.  

I will comment that in general, the quality of the manuals of interest to us 
that are still up on LOGSA aren't this bad.  Some are quite good in fact.  
Which leads me to believe that several different contractors did the work.
